Department of European Studies of the Poznań University of Economics and Business (Wielkopolska, Poland) is launching call for papers for one-day workshop "EU Cohesion Policy in Eastern and Southern Europe: taking stock and drawing lessons for the future". The event will be held on 25th of September 2017 at the University.
During the workshop the following questions will be addressed:
• How have the Europeanisation pathways and the approaches towards regional / Cohesion Policy planning and implementation evolved over time and with what impact in terms of policy performance?
• What is the legacy of EU Cohesion Policy in terms of institutional innovation and administrative capacity-building?
• What are the outcomes in terms of sustainability of the policy’s implementation?
• Which countries and regions are the most/least successful in the implementation of Cohesion Policy and why (what are key-factors of success, what are the barriers)?
• What have been the main territorial impacts from the implementation of EU Cohesion Policy in a given region/country?
• What lessons can be drawn from the successes and failures of Cohesion Policy in the Eastern, South Eastern, and Southern periphery and to what extent can these lessons be applied to candidate countries?
• What have been the main results/impacts from the implementation of the European Territorial Cooperation in a given cross-border/transnational region?
• What can EU regions learn from the candidate countries in terms of joint projects executed mainly through cross-border cooperation or under Instrument for Pre-Accession?
• What is the role of EU funding for the Eastern, South Eastern, and Southern regions in shaping European identities and perceptions of the European integration?
• What lessons can be drawn from the experience of the main recipients of EU funds for Cohesion Policy after 2020?
