Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2,0, Berlin School of Economics and Law (Postgraduate Masterstudiengang Europäisches Verwaltungsmanagement), language: English, abstract: The underlying thesis of this essay is that the EU Lisbon Strategy and its overall goal of stimulating and fostering socially and ecologically sustainable development, growth and employment started a process of policy convergence that led to the Lisbon Strategy occupying several other policies' agendas and objectives. This applies especially to the EU Cohesion Policy and the Structural Funds as well as to the structural part of the Common Agricultural Policy. The essay also shows some of the limitations the implementation of the EU's policy agenda faces, especially because of budget limitations and shared responsibilities between the EU and national authorities of the Member States. A short chapter on the funding policy of the EU, e.g. the Research Framework Programmes, completes the essay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Cohesion policy accounts for a major share of the EU budget and is central to economic and social development in many European countries. This book provides a comprehensive and theoretically-informed analysis of how Cohesion policy has evolved over time, in particular the budgetary and policy dynamics of the 2007-13 reform. In the context of the budgetary politics of the EU, the book examines the process by which the reform of Cohesion policy has been shaped; it identifies the key factors that explain the allocation of funding, assesses the roles of the Member States, European Commission and European Parliament, and tests whether the process and outcome are consistent with the expectations of EU decision-making and integration theories. Based on extensive, EU-wide research over a ten-year period, the book provides new insights into both the process and outcomes of EU policy reform. Presenting original research in an accessible format, this book will be of interest to scholars as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of European integration and policy studies.

Book Synopsis Industrial and Regional Policies in an Enlarging EU by : David Bailey
Download or read book Industrial and Regional Policies in an Enlarging EU written by David Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of near ‘disrepute’ in official circles, Industrial Policy has made something of a comeback over the last few years and is now very much back on the agenda at national and EU levels, driven by concerns over globalisation, deindustrialisation, unemployment and perceived poor growth in the EU. Simultaneously, the European Commission’s Fourth Report on Economic and Social Cohesion has kicked off the debate over challenges to cohesion, the shape of EU Cohesion policy beyond 2013, and how resources should be managed. This debate will find added momentum with the imminent ‘mid-term’ review being launched by the Commission. Discussions over the success or not of the Lisbon Agenda, on-going debates over cluster policies, and recent developments in policy evaluation have also contributed to a burgeoning academic literature over the last eighteen months. This edited volume is especially pertinent given such developments and pulls together a diverse range of contributions from leading authorities in the field to add to these debates and to illustrate connections between them. This book was published as a special issue of Policy Studies.

Analysis of the relationship between the two objectives of the cohesion policies: growth and reduction of disparities, taking into account any contradictions, tensions, or completions between these objectives. 2.)Analysis and comparison of the thematic priorities of the European Regional Development Fund (EC) No. 1080/2006 and the European Social Fund (EC) 1081/2006 in the light of overall objectives for the cohesion policies to regard differences in scope, similarities and potential synergies. 3.)

Contribution of the quality of regional public administration services to an effective and efficient implementation of the European Structural Funds. Introduction: In March 2000 at the Lisbon Spring Council, the 15 European Union (EU) leaders at that time agreed that the EU should commit to raising the rate of growth and employment to underpin social cohesion and environmental sustainability. The EU set itself “a strategic goal for the next decade: to become the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion, and respect for the environment”. In June 2001 in Göteborg, the strategy adds the environmental dimension to the Lisbon Strategy (LS) and is conceived as a completion of the EU commitment to economic and social renewal. The new, more complete, and ambitious EU sustainable development strategy with objectives, indicators and an effective monitoring procedure should be based on a long-term positive vision and fully include the external dimension. In 2005 the results did not meet expectations, so the strategy had been renewed to have new impulses. As a result of the renewed LS, the cohesion policy for the programming period 2007-2013 is marked by the objectives of growth and jobs agenda, especially in the areas of innovation, research, skills, and human capital, and additionally brought reform of the objectives and funds.

Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/doi/view/10.4324/9781315401867, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. This book brings together academics, members of European institutions, and regional and national level policymakers in order to assess the performance and direction of EU Cohesion policy against the background of the most significant reforms to the policy in a generation. Responding to past criticisms of the effectiveness of the policy, the policy changes introduced in 2013 have aligned European Structural and Investment Funds with the Europe 2020 strategy and introduced measures to improve strategic coherence, performance and integrated development. EU Cohesion Policy: Reassessing performance and direction argues that policy can only be successfully developed and implemented if there is input from both academics and practitioners. The chapters in the book address four important issues: the effectiveness and impact of Cohesion policy at European, national and regional levels; the contribution of Cohesion policy to the Europe 2020 strategy of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; the importance of quality of government and administrative capacity for the effective management of the Funds; and the inter-relationships between institutions, territory and place-based policies. The volume will be an invaluable resource to students, academics and policymakers across economics, regional studies, European studies and international relations.

Download or read book Cohesion and Growth written by Willem Molle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To combat economic disparity and low growth, the European Union has established an integrated policy system that pursues increased cohesion and smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. This integrated approach is realized through thousands of development projects and takes up more than a third of the total budget of the European Union. Despite its significance, the policy is subject to many misunderstandings and there is a lot of controversy surrounding its effectiveness. Cohesion and Growth seeks to bring clarity to these issues. It presents both the theoretical and practical aspects of EU intervention, a critical contribution to the understanding of the anatomy of the problems and the way to apply effective solutions to them, and a systematic view of the issues at each of the subsequent stages of the whole policy cycle. Offering an authoritative analysis of the problems and debates involved, this book is essential reading for students, policy makers, project promoters and researchers concerned with this key area of European policy making.

In addition, in the second part, the linkage between the different financial instruments and the objectives of Structural Fund assistance is clarified. The second chapter examines the effectiveness and efficiency of the cohesion policy in reducing regional disparities, with a reference to the preceding funding period. Due to the restriction on the length of in this paper, the reduction of regional disparities will be assessed by examining economic performance and employment according to the objectives of the cohesion policy and its financial instruments. Due to the difficulties in separating the contributions of the cohesion policy from the overall effects of progress, the achievements of the Lisbon objectives will be scrutinized in the following section. Selected Structural Indicators will be examined to remark on the progress in the set key areas. The following section aims to conduct a partial examination of the impact and weaknesses of pre-accession assistance. Examining the question of institutional and administrative capacity building, the section will scrutinize the development of economic performance of and employment levels in the new Member States in the 2000–2006 funding period. The objective of the preceeding chapter is to determine the impacts of the Europe 2020 objectives on cohesion policy, examine the adequacy of established goals, and compare the Europe 2020 objectives with those of the Lisbon Strategy. The objective of the last section is to analyze the proposals for a reformed cohesion policy as submitted in the BARCA report. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages that appears when considering the proposals will be discussed. In addition, the main differences with the current practice will be considered.

Book Synopsis Where Top-down, where Bottom-up? by : Silke Tönshoff
Download or read book Where Top-down, where Bottom-up? written by Silke Tönshoff and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The necessity for regional policy-makers to find a balance between shaping and adapting to structural change is well-known. But to what extent does this apply to a European strategy with a «soft» governance process relying largely on benchmarking and peer pressure - the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs? Paradigms for an increase of competitiveness - also regional competitiveness - spelled out so often and vigorously lose their degree of assertiveness, when turning to economic theory for their foundations. The authors - economists and political scientists with practical experience in EU institutions - deal in their contributions with different issues relevant for decision-makers in modern regional policy. By doing so, it is possible to challenge the seemingly established consensus on what is feasible in the EU and what is not.
Book Synopsis Cohesion Policy Within the Lisbon Paradigm by : Gulhan Bilen

Book excerpt: The paper examines the Lisbon Strategy of European Union and Cohesion Policy of European Union with the aim of understanding collaborative dimensions in line with being knowledge societies and coping with international competitiveness. While the year of 2005 reflects a re-launch of the Lisbon Strategy in the sense of a more regulated and coordinated common policy at the top of the pyramid, the 2006 Regulations of Cohesion Policy might be considered a second great step-forward following the 1988 Reform in terms of efficiency and relevancy to the developmental conundrums and challenges of the EU Member States. The Cohesion Policy has been essentially amalgamated under the Lisbon Strategy since both two aims sustainable growth and anticipating implications such as employment and added value increases.Given that effectiveness and efficiency considerations with regard to competitiveness and innovative activities are best enabled at local level, in on-going new programming era, decentralized governance structure of the Cohesion Policy has been retained the same. The governance and coordination architecture of the Lisbon Agenda have invaluable insights from the credentials of the Cohesion Policy. Notably the open method of coordination mechanism, a new mode of governance, is developing on the background of voluntary Cohesion Policy practices between and among the Member States under supervision of the Commission. Within the Strategy framework, Member States' role lies in co-operating other Member States along with delivering a state-of-the-art reform agenda. There is a constant need for more fundamental reform on the Cohesion Policy field. To assess its effects on the Lisbon Strategy objectives, further evaluation results will be sources because of the adaptation of the Member States has been occurring in slow pace and the delivery of the Lisbon Strategy has just began at the second haft of the 2000s.

Book Synopsis Cohesion Policy and European Integration by : Liesbet Hooghe
Download or read book Cohesion Policy and European Integration written by Liesbet Hooghe and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can one convince potent nation-states to put their sovereignty at risk in common European policies? EU cohesion policy, now one-third of the EU budget, provides such a puzzle. Until 1988 the European Commission shared out money to national governments with few strings attached. Since the reform of 1988, national governments are required to negotiate with the Commission and regional authorities on how to use the money. Has this European-wide policy eroded national sovereignty in favour of a stronger role for the Commission and more power for Europe's regions? The first part of the book probes into the policy dynamics at the European level. In the second part, eight country studies evaluate the impact of uniform EU policy on territorial relations by comparing policy making before and after the reform. The concluding section explains persistent variation in EU cohesion decision making and implementation.

Download or read book Place-based Economic Development and the New EU Cohesion Policy written by Philip McCann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new EU Cohesion Policy is one of the largest integrated development policies in the Western world, and one of the largest of such programmes anywhere in the world. The reforms to the EU Cohesion Policy contain many different elements each of which interlink in order to provide a cohesive overall framework. Some of the key elements in the reforms, however, relate to the conditionalities employed and their effects on policy governance and the control mechanism, the smart specialization approach to policy prioritization and resource allocation, the underlying place-based logic of the policy, and the overall results orientation and evaluation emphasis of the policy. In each of the areas of the EU Cohesion Policy reforms, many different scholars from the fields of regional studies, regional science and economic geography have played important roles in shaping the new policy, and the chapters here highlight these increasing interactions between the policy and academic spheres of debate. The collection of essays in this book each deal with specific aspects of these critical elements of the Cohesion Policy reforms. In particular, they examine some of the strengths and weaknesses of these individual elements and allowing for a better understanding of the origins and backgrounds of many of the ideas underpinning these reforms. This book was previously published as a special issue of Regional Studies.
