«It is our pleasure to announce the 20th
APDR Congress, to be held at the University of Évora, Portugal, from July 10 to July 11, 2014.
Theme of the Conference:
Renaissance
of the Regions of Southern Europe
The 20th APDR Congress has the main theme of Renaissance
of the Regions of Southern Europe.
In the recent years, the southern Europe countries experienced,
particularly aggravated, the economic crisis that affected much of the
western world.
This crisis has thus helped to exacerbate the existing inequalities
between the North and South of Europe. After several decades away from
levels of development and economic growth recorded elsewhere and the
considerable efforts in terms of regional development
policies, the southern regions of Europe need to find your way. Thus,
this Congress will seek to answer the following questions: What
conditions are necessary for the economic revival of southern Europe?
What is wrong in regional development policies pursued
so far? How can countries of southern Europe to improve their levels of
development? The boundary between Europe and the Mediterranean is a
threat or an opportunity? How can Southern Europe take advantage of the
connection to the South Atlantic?
The
2014 APDR Congress will work through plenary sessions, conferences
and round tables, workshops and parallel sessions. Parallel sessions
will include: i) abstracts submitted to Regular Sessions (RS), proposed
by the organization; and ii) abstracts submitted to Special Sessions
(SS), proposed by participants and discussion
