The Draghi report on the future of European competitiveness: challenges of participation, engagement and economic geography
分析了2024年德拉吉报告在欧盟竞争力方面的贡献与不足，指出其忽视公民参与和经济地理挑战，可能阻碍政策效果。
The Mario Draghi report of September 2024 potentially represents a key milestone in the history and political economy of the European Union, especially when it is discussed in tandem with the Enrico Letta’s independent report of April 2024. However, both reports fail to address the challenges arising from the fundamental transition from interregional convergence to economic divergence which fuels the geography of discontent within many of Europe’s ‘left behind’ regions, and which has the power to stymie or even totally undermine well-considered and well-intentioned European Union policies. We discuss the challenges of citizen participation and engagement essential for addressing the economic geography challenges which Draghi entirely ignores.
