The "More Developed Mediterranean" category includes Malta, Portugal, Israel,<br />

Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. These are mostly mixed, medium income<br />

économies like Cyprus, on the periphery of Western Europe. Whilst some group<br />

members may diverge significantly in terms of their size and structure, this category<br />

seemed conveniently to capture some of the most significant elements of post 1963<br />

regional economic growth: the rôle of mass tourism, an increasingly integrated<br />

European market, the decline of agriculture (in terms of employment and foreign<br />

exchange earnings) and the rise of services. Différences however existed in 1960, in<br />

the structure of the économies (Figures 6.15) and their recent economic<br />

performance (Figures 6.17), but not as great as the différences in the Micro<br />

Economies. To remove Cyprus from the group in 1964, and use the average<br />

performance of the remaining économies as the no war, growth proxy seemed to<br />

deserve further close analysis.<br />
