Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide a consolidated overview of existing knowledge on the relationship between European Union Cohesion Policy and voter support for Eurosceptic political parties, identify gaps in research, and suggest recommendations for further studies. The literature review is conceived from the perspective of regional economics and politics. Our analysis will investigate whether the increased levels of investments in creating jobs, enhancing human capital, promoting innovation, improving the quality of life, infrastructure, environment, and other attributes through the European Union Cohesion policy have resulted in a decline in support of voters for Eurosceptic political parties. Furthermore, we will examine whether these investments have no effect in this context or have actually contributed to increasing such support. Our literature review will be limited to studies that have examined this issue at the regional level of current or former European Union member states and which are based on the disciplines of regional economics and politics.
