Is the EU Cohesion Policy failing East-Central European countries?

Abstrakt

This is a contribution to the Manchester Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence (MJMCE) regular seminar series. It brings together (critical) Comparative Political Economy and European Studies approaches to examine whether and how the European Union Cohesion Policy has determined developmental paths on Europe's East-Central European periphery, for better or worse.

In general, the contribution presents a new theorization of cohesion transfers in the Cohesion Policy in order to broaden our understanding of East-Central European consensual, but asymmetrical integration into Europe's market-making regional order since 2004.
