Wells, Peter. "Searching for cohesion in a Europe of the Regions : the implementation of the European Union's structural funds in the United Kingdom and France (1994-96)." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1999. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/10226/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the following research question: what factors explain the relationship between levels of government over the implementation of European Union regional policy? Debates in political science and economics in the late 1980s and early 1990s considered whether a Europe of the Regions provided a model for the future economic and political order of Europe. Although these debates informed our understanding of European Union policy making, they have now moved on. The theoretical framework for this thesis tests the extent to which European integration can be explained by processes of multi-level governance, and not by the previously dominant systems of intergovernmentalism. Furthermore, much of the previous theoretical work on European integration has drawn from the earlier stages of policy making (on budgetary decisions, and on institutional and regulatory design). This thesis considers instead the neglected area of the implementation of the Structural Funds in two regions (Yorkshire and Humberside, and Lorraine). Using policy networks tools of analysis it tests the explanatory capability of multi-level governance in the following areas: the variation in policy implementation between the United Kingdom and France; the patterns of resource mobilisation in policy implementation; and the formation of regional economic strategies. The main findings of this thesis show that where domestic regional policy frameworks are weak (e.g. in the United Kingdom), the European Commission has been able to effectively mobilise resources at critical phases of policy implementation - such as during the negotiation of economic strategies. However, over the longer term, the direction the Structural Funds have taken is driven by actors and institutions outside those directly involved in the implementation of the Structural Funds. That is, both DG XVI of the European Commission and the regions themselves have limited opportunities to influence the course of European political integration.

Tese de Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas PúblicasA Região Autónoma da Madeira, enquanto Região Ultraperiférica (RUP), tem beneficiado do apoio do Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento Regional (FEDER), ao abrigo da política de coesão da União Europeia (UE). Este trabalho propôs-se identificar a forma de apoio da UE à Madeira, e a esta enquanto RUP, no âmbito da proposta de Regulamento do FEDER para o período de programação financeira 2014-2020, comparativamente ao Regulamento do FEDER, no período de programação 2007-2013. Concluiu-se que as alterações substanciais relacionam-se com o alinhamento da política de coesão com a Estratégia Europa 2020 e com a classificação da Madeira como região mais desenvolvida. Constatou-se uma mudança no paradigma de desenvolvimento da RAM, por um lado, em decorrência das orientações europeias e, por outro lado, em consequência das condicionantes do Programa de Ajustamento Económico de Portugal e do Programa de Ajustamento Económico e Financeiro da Madeira. A estratégia de desenvolvimento da Madeira para o horizonte 2020 compreende a intervenção do FEDER nas áreas da competitividade da economia, do desenvolvimento sustentável, da investigação, do desenvolvimento tecnológico e da inovação. Na perspetiva da europeização das políticas públicas regionais, conclui-se que na Madeira se verifica um fenómeno de europeização como processo de adaptação.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira, as an Outermost Region (OR), has been benefiting from the support of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Cohesion Policy of the European Union (EU). This study set out to identify the form of EU support to Madeira, as well as an OR, in the context of the proposed ERDF Regulation for the financial programming period 2014-2020, compared to the ERDF Regulation, for the programming period 2007 -2013. It was accomplished that the significant changes relates to the alignment of cohesion policy with the Europe 2020 strategy and the classification of Madeira as a more developed region. It was found a change in the development paradigm of Madeira due to the European guidelines and to the constraints of the Economic Adjustment Programme for Portugal and the Economic and Financial Adjustment Programme to Madeira. The development strategy of Madeira to 2020 comprises the intervention of the ERDF in the areas of economic competitiveness, sustainable development, research, technological development and innovation. In the perspective of Europeanization of regional policies, it is concluded that occurs in Madeira the phenomenon of Europeanization as a process of adaptation.

Full textAbstract:
One of the goals of the economic, social and territorial cohesion is to reduce regional disparities between member states of the European Union. For this purpose the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund were established(among other things). The theoretical part of this thesis presents the issue of regional disparities and ways how to measure them. In view of the lack of consistent definition of this concept, there are number of measurement and evaluation methods. Furthermore, the work focuses on the implementation of cohesion policy and ways of measurement of their impact on development and growth of regions. The practical part of this thesis presents, evaluates and compares the regional disparities between the regions of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic via selected methods and assesses the impact of the financial support provided from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the programming period 2007 - 2013 on economic growth of regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Following indicators are included: gross domestic product, unemployment rate, gross fixed capital formation and the rate of economic activity. The influence of the subsidy on the economic growth of regions is validated through the panel data analysis, namely a panel model with fixed effects, and Granger causality test. First, we investigated the impact of this support on the economic performance of regions where it is verified whether there is a relationship between economic performance of NUTS III regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics, characterized by gross domestic product and the unemployment rate, and the amount of the subsidy. Furthermore, it is verified whether the amount of subsidy depends on the level of regional gross domestic product. Dissertation contributes to the discussion about the impact of support from EU funds in the Czech and Slovak Republics, focusing on the regional level, and answers the question of reducing regional disparities using the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explains the reasons of the establishment and development of the European Union's policy for economic and social cohesion, the topics it tries to solve, and instruments through which it provides the member states the financial help. Because, as it can be seen from the caption of this thesis, I describe two operational programmes -- Operational Programme Development of Human Resources and Operational Programme Education for Competitiveness, I concentrate on the European Social Fund, as it is the source of the financial help in the Czech Republic for these two operational programmes. That is why this thesis also pays attention to the application of the structural policy in the Czech Republic with the emphasis on the area of education. It introduces the crucial documents needed to be approved as long as we want to receive money from the EU and it deals with the two operational programmes and its coherence. In the last part of this thesis the weaknesses and strenghts of the implementation of those operational programmes are highlighted.

A presente dissertação foca-se no Fundo de Transição Justa, principal instrumento do Mecanismo de Transição Justa, criado pela Comissão Europeia, para auxiliar o processo de conversão ecológica pelo qual a União se propõe a enveredar, através do European Green Deal. Pretende-se apurar se o Fundo de Transição Justa, tal como está formulado1, assegura uma transição efetivamente justa para uma economia verde e circular, sobretudo no que diz respeito à situação Portuguesa, enquanto Estado-membro da UE destinatário de políticas de coesão.
Para tal, procedeu-se ao tratamento e análise de conceitos centrais à temática da tese: economia verde e economia circular, transição justa, e coesão europeia. Tendo estabelecido como os conceitos enunciados devem ser interpretados e aplicados ao longo da tese, seguiu-se a identificação dos desafios políticos que a União Europeia enfrenta para executar uma transição ecológica, assim como uma análise à composição e funcionamento do Fundo de Transição Justa, ao que se prevê que venha a ser a sua intervenção em Portugal, e ao seu método de alocação, de acordo com a sua atual formulação2.
Com base nas conclusões alcançadas ao longo do corpo da dissertação, esta termina com a resposta negativa, fundamentada, à questão de partida.This dissertation focuses on the Just Transition Fund, the main instrument of the Just Transition Mechanism, created by the European Commission, to assist the process of ecological conversion that the Union proposes to embark on, through the European Green Deal. The main aim is to ascertain whether the Just Transition Fund, as formulated3, ensures an effectively just transition to a green and circular economy, especially with regard to the Portuguese situation, as an EU Member State that is the recipient of cohesion policies. To this end, we proceeded to the treatment and analysis of concepts central to the theme of the thesis: green economy and circular economy, just transition, and European cohesion. Having established how the aforementioned concepts should be interpreted and applied throughout the thesis, there followed the identification of the political challenges that the European Union faces to execute an ecological transition, as well as an analysis of the composition and functioning of the Just Transition Fund, an analysis regarding what is expected to be its intervention in Portugal, and to its allocation method, according to its current formulation4. Based on the conclusions reached throughout the body of the dissertation, it ends with the substantiated negative answer to the starting question.
