This engaging and topical book comprehensively explores the
complexities surrounding the EU Cohesion Policy, which has been
addressing regional and urban development across Europe since the
1980s. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it considers the
goals of this long-term investment policy, which is to reduce
territorial disparities between Member States and their regions,
and its role in the European integration process. Bringing together
contributions from an interdisciplinary team of eminent scholars
and policy practitioners, chapters offer expert analysis of the
disciplinary genealogies of the EU Cohesion Policy, its
contemporary issues, and perceptive reflections on its future. The
book provides keen insights into current academic-policy debates,
and a deeper understanding of the EU Cohesion Policy’s
achievements. The expert’s insights contribute to the debate that
this policy must face to address the most pressing European
challenges. Each chapter includes different perspectives ranging
from political, economic and legal to the urban and social
dimensions and investigates ways to boost research-policy dialogue
on Cohesion Policy. Offering a forward-thinking account of the
topic, this timely book will be welcomed by students, academics,
researchers, and policymakers alike in disciplines including human
geography and geopolitics, European politics and policy, economics,
public policy, and urban and regional studies.
This book provides theories, experiences, reflections and future
directions for social scientists who wish to engage with
policy-oriented research in, and for, cities and regions. The
'?policy learning?' perspective is comprehensively discussed,
focusing on actors promoting '?policy knowledge?' and interaction
among different stakeholders. Theoretical frameworks and practical
experiences of policy-orientated research for European regions and
cities are comprehensively explored in this timely book. The
authors review current theories and present novel case studies of
policy-orientated research. By combining policy analysis with urban
and regional studies, the book highlights how researchers can be
agents of policy learning, helping policymakers to learn how to
learn. This book will provide unique, real world insights for
researchers, practitioners and stakeholders interested in
research-based approaches to cities and regions. Contributors
