| dc.description.abstract | Under the framework of the European Cohesion Policy, the transnational cooperation in Europe managed to address common issues and tackle common challenges in order to promote integration and growth along its regions. Until today, several forms of transnational cooperation already exist in the EU, including EU funding under the ‘INTERREG’ programmes across large coherent space. Apart from this, sub-regional agreements on national level among nation states have also been developed. This paper discusses the emergence of a new transnational cooperation form : The European Union macro-regional strategies, prepared for two transnational areas: The Baltic Sea and the Danube river. After a brief introduction to the EU cohesion policy and transnational cooperation, the emergence of the macro-regional strategies will be presented, while their similarities and differences with the transnational INTERREG programmes will be distinguished. A suitable theoretical perspective and methodological approach will be set out. The proposed research seeks to examine the added value of the EU macro-regional strategies, and suggest arguments that may support or prevent a future possible combination with the EU funding programmes for transnational territorial cooperation (INTERREG), vis-à-vis the future Cohesion Policy. | en_US |
