This article assesses the contribution regional government makes to economic development. The role of regional government is evaluated through a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of two different regions, Tuscany in Italy and the East Midlands in the UK, which possess different types of regional governance structures, managing a common framework—European Regional Policy. I conclude that democratically elected regional government may provide a number of crucial advantages for promoting economic development.
