This paper aims at (i) presenting a reconstruction of the theoretical framework which were at the basis of the so-called extraordinary intervention in Mezzogiorno; (ii) analysing the ways this was translated into economic policy; (iii) providing a a tentative assessment of that experience. Myrdal's scheme, which makes regional gaps depend on cumulative circular causation mechanisms, is reconstructed, as well as the contribution on dependency theory by CEPAL economists. The translation of these ideas into the framework of the new meridionalism is then given, in order to propose some concluding remarks on the interpretation of that experience.

Abstract
This paper aims at (i) presenting a reconstruction of the theoretical framework which were at the basis of the so-called extraordinary intervention in Mezzogiorno; (ii) analysing the ways this was translated into economic policy; (iii) providing a a tentative assessment of that experience. Myrdal's scheme, which makes regional gaps depend on cumulative circular causation mechanisms, is reconstructed, as well as the contribution on dependency theory by CEPAL economists. The translation of these ideas into the framework of the new meridionalism is then given, in order to propose some concluding remarks on the interpretation of that experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
