Abstract
Development policies for Southern Italy are based on and legitimized by art. 19 of the Italian Constitution, which in paragraph 5 provides for special interventions to remove economic and social imbalances, and from the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union which, in art. 174 promotes harmonious development in order to reduce the gap between the European regions. The first part of the article describes the historical and political events in Italy following the birth of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno, established with the law of 10 August 1950, n. 646., the general framework of the interventions, up to the law 488 of 1992 which ended the extraordinary intervention. In a second part, the Southern Question is addressed in the context of European funds, highlighting the shortcomings that are still current in quantitative and qualitative terms with respect to development policies for Southern Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
