n the regional policy of the European Union, the importance of regional typologies linked to specific geographical elements has varied over the past decades. This article shows that since the 1990s the role of these specific regional typologies, and thus of regional characteristics, in European regional policy has been declining. However, the analysis of a wide range of socio-economic data reveals that some types of regions (sparsely populated regions, outermost regions, external border regions) are in a particularly unfavourable socio-economic situation, while others may need specific support not at European but at macro-regional level (for example, the coastal regions of the Mediterranean). The article concludes that, although the value of GDP per capita is indeed only marginally explained by the different regional typologies, broadening the concept of underdevelopment and recognising macro-regional challenges could be a priority for the European Union.

Core–periphery analysis is vital to an understanding of the European Union (EU) and regional development. The European Economic Community (EEC), which would eventually become the EU, was formed in 1957 in order to promote progressive economic integration. Recognizing that there were depressed regions within both peripheral and core nation-states, the EC adopted a programme with the goal of bringing those regions into convergence. Its programme is essentially a liberal centre–periphery model similar to the one proposed by Friedman. Many of the nation-states within the EC also have their own regional policies and programmes regarding intervention within their own spatial boundaries. To present an approach for comparison this article will focus on two examples of regional policy: Britain's attitude toward regional development in the North and the German programme for integrating East Germany.

The Process of European Union Regulation in the Light of Treaty of Lisbon and the Essence of Impact Assessment ConceptOn the background of the most pressing problems related to the European Union (EU) power legitimization, the Treaty of Lisbon has been treated as the innovative adjustment in the area of legal, political, economic and administrative spectrum of choices. If the significance of the EU is to continue, the investment in the improvement of the legitimization of the EU power through the efficiency needs to be intensified. Through the lenses of the Treaty of Lisbon the administration servant corpus is presented in its role of knowledge production, as well as the stimulation of transparency and participation in the decision processes.

The role of processes of regionalization and decentralization in the development of regional resource potential through the implementation of the principles of perfect management on the example of European countries is explored. It turns out that the experience of developing the resource potential of the regions of the European Union (EU) is relevant to Ukraine, since it can be applied in different conditions. It is determined that the main objective of the EU regional policy is to reduce inequalities in the levels of development of the resource potential of the most developed and most backward regions. The peculiarities of state regulation of development of resource potential of the region are considered on the example of Denmark, Germany, Italy, Sweden. It is concluded that the effectiveness of the development of the resource potential of each region depends to a large extent on the coordinated activity of all administrative-territorial structures and state regulation of socio-economic processes. Direct implementation of the policy should be carried out by the coordinating authorities of the appropriate level of management.

The aim of the article is to answer the following questions:- How the European Union funds help promote entrepreneurship in the region?- What is the role of public administration in fostering entrepreneurship?- Can the region be a subject of entrepreneurship?The article approaches different aspects of entrepreneurship from a regional perspective particularly in the context of European integration and access to EU funds.Supporting the creation and growth of businesses, in particular small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs); attracting investors and enhancing the productive capacity of regions are key ways by which public policy helps boost regional economies. This is also one of the priorities of EU regional policy and European funds. The main beneficiary of those funds in Poland are the local government units, which makes the role of public policies in fostering entrepreneurship even greater. As regions are competing for EU funds, the activity and creativity of local government units and other local actors is increasing, we can recognize a region itself as a subject of entrepreneurship.

The article is devoted to the study of the implementation of territorial cohesion policy in the European Union in order to achieve a secure regional coexistence. In particular, the regulatory and institutional origins of territorial cohesion policy in the EU are considered. The evolution of ontological models of cohesion policy has been outlined. Specifically, the emphasis is placed on the key objective of political geography – effectively combining the need for "territorialization" and the growing importance of networking. The role of urbanization processes in the context of cohesion policy is highlighted. Cross-border dimensions of cohesion policy in the context of interregional cooperation are explored. Particular emphasis is placed on the features of integrated sustainable development strategies.

This article analyzes the role of the European Union (EU) and Canada in the promotion of Security Sector Reforms (SSR) activities in two regional organizations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The concept of SSR seeks to address the effective governance of security in post-conflict environment by transforming the security institutions within a country in order for them to have more efficient, legitimate and democratic role in implementing security. Recent debates within the EU have led to the adoption of an SSR concept from the Council and a new strategy from the European Commission on the SSR activities. Within the framework of the ESDP, the EU has positioned itself as a leading actor, in this domain, including in its crisis management operations. On the other hand, Canada, through its whole-of government and human security programs has also been an important actor in the promotion of SSR activities. Yet, even though several international organizations (including the United Nations, the OSCE and NATO) are effectively doing SSR activities on the ground, there does not exist a common framework within any of these organizations despite the role of the EU and Canada. As such, it is surprising to found no global common policy for SSR while this approach is precisely holistic in its foundations. Taking these elements into consideration, this paper analyzes two specific aspects : a) the absence of a common policy framework within international organizations and b) the major differences between the approaches of the OSCE and NATO in the domain of SSR and the implications for the EU and Canada’ roles.   Full extt available at: https://doi.org/10.22215/rera.v3i2.186
