Regional Policy of the Federal Government USA in the 50s–60s of the XX Century

Abstract

In domestic studies on foreign experience of regional policy, the American system is often referred to, since the us experience in the sphere of socio-economic relations of the center (Federal government) and regions (districts, States, municipalities) includes measures to support the economic development of backward and depressed territories, and agricultural issues, and even actually economic zoning. In this paper, the authors tried to identify and characterize the interested participation of the us Federal government in the economic and social life of the country’s regions during the 50s–60s of the twentieth century. Despite the temporal and spatial features of the territorial and economic organization of American society, characterized by the model of decentralized (competitive) federalism, regional policy in the United States is no less interesting both in theoretical study and in practical terms.
