Abstract

Chapter 1 “Conceptualizing Cohesion Policy as a Case of Development Policy: A Framework for the Empirical Analysis” introduces the limits and potentialities of the use of policy analysis in the study of regional economic development, and it suggests the use of an abductive approach and the adoption of a working hypothesis methodology in designing a similar qualitative research. This chapter also introduces the theoretical framework used during the empirical analysis on the basis of the triple challenge that the new regulations introduced (institutional, strategic, and administrative), and the Hirschmanian approach adopted in this book. In general terms, it makes simultaneous use of the literature on Europeanization and historical institutionalism in explaining the way in which change occurred in the three dimensions under investigation.
