Abstract

This chapter aims at providing an overview of the EU Cohesion Policy. The origins of the EU Cohesion Policy are discussed and so are the main changes, such as the shift in policy-thinking and policy-logic leading to the place-based approach in the aftermath of the Barca-Report. The chapter discusses three major challenges shaping the interregional landscape and the EU Cohesion Policy context, namely Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic as well as climate change policies and the Green Deal.
