Book Synopsis
The federal government established the Department of Regional Economic Expansion (DREE) in 1969 and, four years later, released it from the traditional Ottawa-based departmental mould when it initiated a bold new decentralized approach to DREE's operations. DREE was dissolved in 1982 and replaced by a series of other experiments to improve regional economies.

Trade Review
"Interesting, worthwhile, and stimulating ... a reasoned and reasonable defense of the DREE approach and gives a lot of detail of the mechanics of federal regional policy instruments." Paul Phillips, Department of Economics, University of Manitoba. "An insider's view of a very interesting and important episode ... provides useful information for courses on regional policy." N.H. Lithwick, School of Public Administration, Carleton University.
