The New Horizons of the Cohesion Policy in the European Union: The Challenge of the Danube Strategy
The present volume consists of two parts. The contributions in the first part offer first of all a theoretical analysis and outline some perspectives for the functional macro-regions in the eu, while in the second part the papers are basically case studies in the sub-national regions concerned.
