| dc.description.abstract | One of the horizontal principles of Structural Funds (SF) states that “each Member State shall in accordance with its institutional and legal framework organise a partnership with the competent regional and local authorities“ (EU 2013, 341). This derives from the overall target of reducing regional differences. The aim of this paper is to analyse whether the new Operational Programmes (2014–2020) of the EU Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states are better equipped to reduce regional disparities and involve local and regional authorities in policy making: whether they learned from the previous (2007–2013) period and initiated changes in the policy framework. There should be serious concerns among regional policy makers of CEE countries, where national spatial polarization has sharpened over the last decade. This situation is somewhat paradoxical because CEE benefited several times more from the EU extensive cohesion and common agricultural policy transfers; SF form the lion’s share of their public investments since 2004. CEE countries jumped on the globalization and Europeanization train in the early 1990s. As a result, new declining regions have emerged and already existing patterns of spatial differentiation have intensified (Gorzelak & Goh 2010, Artelaris et al 2010). DGP per capita and migration data show strong and gradually growing polarization between main metropolitan areas and the rest of the countries. Most affected are remote rural regions and some industrial agglomerations. | |
