Obstáculos y estímulos a la integración de las regiones atlánticas regresivas

This article deals with the situation of an Atlantic region marked by the characteristic features of the peripheral regions, such as Asturias. It also investigates the economic reactivation and territorial dynamism actions planned by the regional Government so as to favour its integration at an international level and to situate it, steadily, in the map of the European regions developing. It is held the thesis that such effort meets with great obstacles mainly due to the weight of internal factors, among which territorial elements are not absent.
