The paper, the second in the series, deals with the question of resource allocation which has become a crucial issue owing to the effects of redistribution of resources at a time of financial constraint.
In particular the essay raises questions of the process involved in sub-regional allocations. It reviews the causes of most of the major problems and presents a number of policy alternatives, as well as arguing what is needed by way of further research.
