Abstract
[Introduction]. Within the EU and UK, increasing emphasis has been placed on partnership working in regional policy. In the context of the EU Structural Funds, greater partnership working between the Commission, the member states and authorities at national, regional and local levels has been encouraged in both the development and implementation of its programmes (see regulation (EEC) 2052/88)2. This approach is seen by the European Commission as a means of improving the effectiveness of the Structural Funds in reducing social and economic disparities through the inclusion of actors deemed to be most familiar with the problems and priorities of targeted areas (see Thielemann, 1999, 6; Bache and Jones, 2000, 1). The requirement to adopt this approach was initially formalised through the introduction of the EU partnership principle in the 1988 structural fund reforms.
