Abstract

This paper presents four case-studies of economies with developed regional policies; the European Union, Spain, Italy and Brazil. These cases have been chosen due to their relevance when studying regional problems in Colombia. Regional policy has performed relatively poorly in all cases since regional disparities have not been significantly reduced. However, one could argue that disparities would have been larger without these policy initiatives; the results thus highlight the difficulties involved in developing successful regional policy
