Europeanisation of territorial policies in Portugal and Italy: a cross-national comparison
比较欧盟资助的领土就业契约在葡萄牙和意大利的实施效果,分析欧洲化过程中制度变迁的关键因素,对研究欧盟政策扩散与区域治理的学者有参考价值。
Over the last few decades, the European Union (EU) played a central role in diffusing specific ‘models’ of territorial policy across member states. This Europeanisation process did not produce homogeneous results, however, since comparable EU-funded territorial policy instruments generated dissimilar outcomes in different contexts. This article aims to compare the implementation of Territorial Employment Pacts, a Community Initiative the main features of which were a territorial-focused strategy, local-level involvement and a creative approach to governance, in the cases of Portugal and Italy. The objective is to learn more about the key factors for institutional change in the Europeanisation of territorial policies.
