Abstract

This chapter outlines reasons for supporting and developing extra-regional collaboration between lagging and leading regions. It highlights the difficulties and inherent risks that typically lie within such an approach. We then consider existing European Union (EU) mechanisms to foster such collaboration, and explore these in the context of some illustrative examples from case research in Cornwall, UK, and Puglia, Italy. Both are officially recognised as lagging EU regions, and have been in receipt of significant EU funding. We conclude with some suggestions for policy.
