European Money in Greece: In Search of the Real Impact of EU Structural Funds
本文基于对欧盟和希腊政界人士、官员、受益者等的访谈，借鉴南北发展援助研究，揭示欧盟结构性基金在希腊的中长期政治影响，结论不如官方报告乐观。
Abstract The impact of EU (European Union) Structural Funds (from the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, etc.) channelled to Greece and other countries over the last 35 years has been thoroughly evaluated by EU‐commissioned impact reports and relevant academic studies. However, several political consequences of development transfers have been largely neglected. Concepts, methods and conclusions reached by studies of North–South development aid can help greatly to understand the medium‐ and long‐term political impact of EU funds. This article is based on interviews with EU and Greek politicians, officials, beneficiaries and various stakeholders. The conclusion is a less positive – but familiar in other parts of the world – story.
