Cohesion as an Overall Value of the European Union
Europe faces major economic, social and environmental challenges. It also has great potential to improve living conditions in all places and for all people (Territorial Agenda, 2020). Still in many regards Europe faces increasing imbalances and inequalities which drive people and territories apart and risk undermining future development perspectives. This is despite economic, social and territorial cohesion and solidarity being an aim of the Treaty on the European Union (Article 3, TEU); and despite the EU having the world's most extensive development policy - EU Cohesion Policy. Cohesion along with the reduction of imbalances and inequalities in Europe cannot be addressed by one policy field single handed. It has to be a joint effort and aim of all EU policies. This report provides the first sectoral analysis of cohesion as an overall value and objective of the EU by assessing the 'Cohesion Spirit' of EU policies, i.e. how they reflect cohesion as a European value.
Research for REGI Committee - Gold-plating in the European Structural and Investment Funds
Gold-plating describes additional rules and regulatory obligations that go beyond the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) requirements set out at European Union (EU) level, and that make the implementation of ESIF more costly and burdensome for programme bodies and beneficiaries. The study analyses gold-plating in all five funds and discusses the presence, reasons and effects of gold-plating in ESIF. It concludes with pointers for action to reduce gold-plating in the current 2014-2020 and in the post 2020 programming period.
Implementing a Place-based Approach to EU Industrial Policy Strategy
This report contributes to the current debate on how local regional authorities (LRAs) can adopt and implement a place-based or low carbon and circular economy approach to the industrial policy strategy, identifying key opportunities and challenges and potential policy options.
The State of the Regions, Cities and Villages in the Areas of Socio-economic Policies
This report aims to analyse the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on development and future perspectives for regions and cities in Europe. In light of the war in Ukraine, the study also offers first reflections on possible impacts the war may have on local and regional development in the EU. The report focuses on impacts and policy measures linked to these crises, as well as recovery measures and resilience to external shocks.
A New Beginning?
Raumplanung versucht, die Zustände in einer Gesellschaft über die Ordnung ihres Raumes zu verbessern. Dieser Band befasst sich mit ihrer Geschichte zwischen 1945 und 1975, vor allem in ausgewählten Ländern Westeuropas. Damals waren die Folgen zweier Weltkriege zu bewältigen; zudem war der Weg in eine bessere Zukunft zu ebnen, hin zu Sozialstaat, Demokratie und europäischer Einigung. Doch die Raumplanung galt wegen ihres Erbes aus kolonialem Herrschaftsdenken, autoritären Reformprogrammen und Faschismus bzw. Kommunismus als vorbelastet; außerdem stand sie in Konkurrenz zu den Fachplanungen der Ministerien und der (markt)wirtschaftlichen Rahmenplanung.
Rural Proofing
The study Rural proofing - a foresight framework for resilient rural communities is focussing on a term that has become in recent years a prominent concept within rural development. Rural areas are considered as particularly at-risk regarding disparities and unbalanced impacts of policies on EU level and other levels of governance, therefore the idea of "rural proofing", namely ensuring that "thinking rural" becomes part of the policy design at all governance levels, potential negative impacts are addressed and positive aspects of a policy are fostered. Rural proofing is called for by the Cork Declaration 2.0, by the EU long-term-vision on rural areas and is a declared approach of the 2022 W...
Regional Impacts of the COVID-19 Crisis on the Tourist Sector
Tourism is an important part of the European economy involving 3 million enterprises, employing 22.6 million people (11% of total EU employment) and accounting for 9.5% of EU GDP in 2019. It is also one of the sectors mostly heavily affected by COVID-19, both in the short-term and in the medium to long-term. The impacts are felt throughout complex tourism ecosystems and value chains across a wide range of sectors. The study assesses how different tourist regions are affected by COVID-19 and potential future developments. It combines analysis of territorial diversity and the economic importance of tourism with the territorially diverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is also a time di...
Analysis of Cross-border Obstacles Between EU Member States and Enlargement Countries
This report is part of the study 'Analysis of Cross-border obstacles between EU Member States and Enlargement Countries'. It is looking to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Interreg IPA programmes and supporting border regions in overcoming challenges due to national borders. The study is a comprehensive review of existing external cross-border obstacles and identifies obstacles that can impact the five Policy Objectives and two Interreg Specific Objectives of the 2021-2027 programming period. The study also offers ideas on how Interreg IPA programmes can address these obstacles in the future. The geographic focus of the study is on the borders between EU Member States and candidate and potential candidate countries. The study builds on an extensive literature analysis, a survey of stakeholders and case studies. This report is the result of a joint analysis of these sources and their triangulation. Annex I details the methodological approach of the study. The core data has been integrated in an inventory of obstacles for cross-border cooperation. This report presents the main findings of the study.
Territorial Cohesion
This book offers a comprehensive overview of several urban related aspects that are of central importance to successful territorial cohesion processes. In essence, it sheds new light on issues concerning urban polycentrism, functional urban regions, integrated sustainable urban development, and the EU Urban Agenda; and on how they can help to achieve territorial cohesion policy goals. As an elusive and fairly recent concept, territorial cohesion has to date only been vaguely debated in the available literature, which for the most part focuses on its historical origins and its relevance for EU policymaking. Instead, this book synthesizes, for the first time, a range of perspectives that place urban elements and policies at the core of territorial cohesion analysis. As such, and given the fact that territorial cohesion is a holistic concept, the book will appeal to a broad readership from both the academic and policymaking arenas.
