Product Description
This are the proceedings of the 12th seminar of marginal regions. They attempt to look into the future and to assess the probable consequences of economic development's being implemented by four countries neighbouring on the North Atlantic (Britain, Ireland, Norway and Canada). The hinterlands of these countries, sparsely-populated and heavily dependent on primary production (fishing, farming, forestry and mineral extraction), are threatened with the loss of their capacity to maintain their populations, sparse as they are already, as heavy industries retrench, agricultural subsidies are scaled down, fishing grounds are depleted and the end of the Cold War brings about the closure of military installations in remote areas.
