Abstract

Chapter 4 “The Spanish Case: The Benefits of a National Coordination” is about Cohesion Policy implementation in Spain from 1989 to the present day. It explores the way in which the European policy was molded according to the domestic preferences and the legacies historically rooted in the issue of regional development, by analyzing how the three investigated challenges (institutional, strategic, and administrative) had been addressed during the different programming cycles, as well as the possible benefits and/or criticalities that they had implicated.

    Even if formally elaborated, the fourth DP (1976–1979) was never applied since it coincided with the years of the Spanish transition into democracy after the death of the Generalissimo.
