Abstract

Kofman E. (1981) Functional regionalism and alternative regional development programmes in Corsica, Reg. Studies 15, 173–181. The principle of functional regionalism in France has been challenged, particularly by regionalist/autonomist movements. By examining the evolution of nationally-defined regional development policies and alternative proposals and strategies emanating in Corsica, a culturally-distinctive peripheral region, the extent to which functional regionalism has been effectively modified in the past two decades will become clear.
