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.

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.
