چکیده
The paper reviews geographical, structural and institutional aspects of spatial development in Greece in the second half of the twentieth century by considering performance at the level of NUTS II and by comparing with other Objective 1 regions of the European Union in terms of income per capita, unemployment and their regional dispersion. It focuses on why Crete has done better than Thessaly, and on why Peloponnese is lagging behind. It examines the possible role of European economic integration in recent patterns of divergence of Greece and her regions from EU averages. The paper also considers institutions and policies of regional development since 1981 and reviews the performance of major European Union-supported efforts, such as Integrated Mediterranean Projects and Community Support Frameworks I and II.
