Behind the Myth of European Union: Propects for Cohesion

Behind the Myth of European Unionexplores the real potential for cohesion in Europe. It assesses the difficulties facing Less Favoured Regions in the context of the Community's policies on economic integration and social cohesion and the wider processes of industrial change in Europe. It argues that current measures which purport to facilitate cohesion will not be adequate. At the book's core lies a critique of the prevailing neo-liberal growth philosophy which uncouples the link between economic efficiency and social equity.
