Abstract

Chapter 2 “Understanding the Rules of the Game: How Cohesion Policy Works” describes the evolution, from 1989 to the present, of the “rules of the game” within which Italian and Spanish actors could appropriate European policy to their domestic contexts: it explains the single types of institutional, strategic, and administrative challenges introduced in each programming period by the EU regulations and the possible margins for maneuvre within which national and sub-national actors operated.

Vorheriges Kapitel Conceptualizing Cohesion Policy as a Case of Development Policy: A Framework for the Empirical Analysis

Nächstes Kapitel The Italian Case: Between Decentralization and the Legacies of the Past

Two cases of Integrated Development Programs were experimented in Europe during the 1970s in two big European cities, that is, Belstaff and Naples.

For further information about the macroeconomic conditionalities, see Sacher (2019).

During the field analysis conducted, several national and sub-national officials involved in the implementation phase of EU Cohesion policy highlighted several doubts about the eEurope indicators provided by the EU regulations. As a Spanish regional official pointed out, for example, these indicators “were too vague and complex and in several cases beneficiaries were not able to understand what to put in” (interview with regional official).
