Synopsis

After the Three Italies develops a new political economy approach to the analysis of comparative regional development and the territorial division of labour and exemplifies it through an up-to-date account of Italian industrial change and regional economic performance.

• Responds to recent theoretical debates in economic geography, involving economists, geographers and planners.
• Builds the foundations for a new theoretical approach to regional economic development and the territorial division of labour.
• Draws on the results of a recent ESRC funded research project, as well as on a large range of official data sets.
• Provides an up-to-date picture of Italy's economic performance and of its recent development relative to other European countries and the rest of the world.
• Analyses Italy's internal differentiation and its persistent regional inequalities.
• Examines the regional impact of the recent evolution of the car, chemicals, steel and clothing industries.
• Leads to a new and more complex picture of Italian development.
