Cohesion Policy as Learning: The Planning Process and Administrative Responses

Robert Leonardi

Chapter 3 in Cohesion Policy in the European Union, 2005, pp 67-88 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract From the very beginning cohesion was conceived as a dynamic policy process that was not only interested in certain “outputs” (the expenditure of money and administrative undertakings) as has been the case with the agricultural policy’s guarantee section but rather with “outcomes” (the impact of the policy on socio-economic levels) in the less developed regions. For cohesion the primary policy outcome is defined as the reduction of regional disparities between the less and more developed areas of the Community. Cohesion policy, therefore, has a territorialized socioeconomic impact; it was never designed to achieve the reduction of disparities between social groups.1
