Synopsis

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 this 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 reform. The concluding section explains persistent variation in EU cohesion decision making and implementation.

Revue de presse

This book offers one of the most comprehensive and well-constructed arguments for the emergence of multi-level governance in the EU ... Scholars of EU politics and integration theorists will find this an exciting and theoretically imaginative book. (Local Government Studies)

This volume is held together by a clear and consistently applied analytical framework and is marked by an evenness of quality throughout. ... a book which succeeds both as a rich empirical treatment of a major development in EU policy and as a probe into new theoretical territory. (International Journal, vol.52/2, Spring 1997)

This is a significant contribution to a contentious issue in British and European politics. (Aslib Book Guide, vol.62 no.7, 1997)
