This collection of papers addresses the issues of regional constitutional change, regional autonomy, regional planning and policy. With the use of experience from Europe and North America, the forms of federalism and networking which are appropriate to regional economic and constitutional autonomy, the evolving ideas associated with regional governance, institutions, and development, and the fiscal and monetary regimes appropriate to regional autonomy and regional economic development are examined. These papers draw on theories of fiscal federalism and networking, but are also enriched by other disciplines in the analysis of the links between regional governance and economic development.
