An e-book on the lessons learnt from EU Cohesion policy implementation and evaluation has recently been published under the aegis of the RSA Cohesion Policy Network. Edited by Nicola Dotti (Université Catholique de Louvain), it contains two chapters authored by EPRC staff and PhD researchers.
The first, authored by Alba Smeriglio and John Bachtler, relates to “Administrative Capacity and Cohesion Policy: New methodological Insights from Italy and Poland”. The paper presents the preliminary theoretical and empirical findings from research carried out in the framework of the EIB sponsored project ‘EIBURS’.
The second chapter, co-authored by Sylwia Borkowska-Waszak, discusses Policy labs and Cohesion policy design and evaluation.
John Bachtler and Laura Polverari, co-organisers of the RSA Cohesion Policy Network, provided the forward.
