Policy Issues for Economic Development of Small Regions

Policy Issues for Economic Development of Small Regions is a collection of essays written during Dr. Richard W. Janson's ten-year tenure on the Ohio Edison Board. This comprehensive policy outline consists of papers for economic development created during the recession of the early 1980s. The issues were developed in the advisory council sessions of the Ohio Edison Program-the initiative created by the legislature to guide Ohio through times of despair and revitalize the industries of the state. It covers topics that include globalism, interregional trade, technology's role in the economy, and energy policy. The author hopes this addition "to the literature of economic development will contribute to the practitioners serving on the line, who are addressing the great economic challenges of this century-one township, one city, one country, one state, one nation at a time."
