Exploring the role of the ERDF in regions with specific geographical features: islands, mountainous and sparsely populated areas
Exploring the role of the ERDF in regions with specific geographical features: islands, mountainous and sparsely populated areas. Regional Studies. In recent years there has been a policy shift in the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to encourage regions with specific geographical features (islands, mountainous and sparsely populated regions) to exploit their respective territorial 'assets' rather than view them as 'handicaps'. This paper compares the role of the ERDF in three case study regions to explore the ways in which respective territorial differences are tackled (or not) at the local level. Whilst the shift to exploiting territorial 'assets' is not straightforward in these regions, the ERDF continues to play a crucial role and the need for continued support should not be forgotten.
