Twelve academics and practitioners from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Canada contribute 13 articles exploring regional development policy in these regions of the North Atlantic. The collection provides a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences in the socioeconomic, political and governmental landscapes of the two regions. It documents interventions that address regional disparity by challenging established patterns of development and seeking to build community capacity on both sides of the Atlantic. No subject index.
