Abstract

How best to organize themselves for promoting regional development has posed as puzzling a problem to governments as coming up with viable solutions to problems of regional economic development. In this article the issues are reviewed and the approaches attempted to date are examined. The strengths and weaknesses of two popular organizational approaches—central agency and line departments—are explored. The article concludes with suggestions for a new government organization for the promotion of regional development which has a capacity, not only for delivering regional programs, but also for promoting regional concerns inside governments.
