| Title | EUROPEANIZATION AND SOCIAL LEARNING: THE CASE OF COHESION POLICY IN SWEDEN AND SLOVAKIA |
| Summary | The Cohesion policy of the European Union aims at diminishing of disparities between the regions of member countries. In the recent years, it has also become an instrument for increasing economic growth, employment and competitiveness. How successful the Cohesion policy has been at diminishing the regional disparities has been long discussed since in individual countries it has delivered different results. This thesis analyzes how effective this policy has been in diminishing the disparities among regions in the selected member states and what explains the variability in the policy outcomes and successes across the member states. The thesis looks at the policy outcomes, as well as at the learning process and qualitative changes that happened in the member states as a result of Europeanization and social learning. |
