Thomas Borén, Department of Human Geography, Stockholm University The present report is an empirical analyses of a number of key case studies in the RELOCAL project. Using a comparative perspective, the report analyses a) the forms, expressions and ways of…
Peter Schmitt, Stockholm University This report discusses findings that stem from 22 out of 33 case studies that have been conducted within RELOCAL. They provide a rich variety of contextual and content-based insights into specifically local and regional governance practices…
By: Czirfusz, M. (2020) This paper discusses cohesion policies of the EU and Hungary from the conceptual perspective of solidarity. Continuing recent debates positioned at the intersection of solidarity, welfare state and Europeanization, a multi-scalar approach of solidarity is explored.…

To integrate results achieved in previous stages by linking the theory, empirical quantitative and qualitative research to policy debates, it will be formulated scenarios for spatial justice of specific types of European regions and typologies being subjects of case studies,…
The project will analysis of the present and potential role of municipalities and other local-level actors in the development and implementation of cohesion policies. It will illustrate through a cross-national comparison the main challenges involved in promoting a greater place-based and…
RELOCAL will undertake a critical review of the literature and develop a theoretical framework for the project examining the links and tensions between territorial cohesion, sustainable development and spatial justice in Europe at times of crisis and the role of regionalism…
