The article provides an assessment of the regional convergence process between the Western European regions since the … 1950s. Two sets of issues are addressed: (a) Is there sufficient evidence of regional convergence? If so, has the speed of … convergence changed over time and is this speed satisfactory. (b) Is convergence a phenomenon limited to the core EC regions as …
