On public policies for territorial cohesion in Portugal: A contribution to the assessment of their effects

Abstract: The existence of significant and persistent regional disparities in a country with reduced territorial dimensions, such as Portugal, is a fact that demands reflection on its causes and effects. This reflection is particularly necessary since, as Portugal is a European Union (EU) country, public policies of territorial cohesion have been implemented, as part of the EU cohesion policy, the objective of which is precisely to reduce those regional disparities. Thus, based on the empirical evidence for the territorial inequalities that characterize Portugal, the (main) objective of this work is to draw attention to the need to complete the cycle of any public policy, through the evaluation of its effects.
