Cohesion Policy in the Outermost Regions
Client/Funding Institution
European Parliament
Abstract
This research study aims to analyse the socio-economic development of the EU outermost regions (i.e. the Canary Islands, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, French Guiana, Réunion, Mayotte, Azores and Madeira) and how regional disparities have evolved over time. It also investigates how cohesion policies (in particular EU-funded programmes) are implemented at a local and regional level, and the role of place-based, tailor-made approaches to foster sustainable and inclusive growth. Furthermore, three case studies allow for more detailed insights into territorial, social and economic cohesion issues and into the situation of these regions in the context of a smarter, greener, more connected and more social Europe. The findings of this analysis should feed into policy recommendations on the design and purpose of EU policies (in particular, EU Cohesion Policy) for the EU outermost regions.
