Summary: | This book was written with several audiences in mind, with the editorial team advancing a reading map and suggestions for the navigation through the chapters in line with the targeted audience. The first category that benefits from the results of this book is represented by students. Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in EU Studies or Public Policy programs - where EU Policies courses are offered in the curricula-will find this book very useful, especially the introductory and theoretical chapters or the case studies examining the role of Cohesion Policy in the EU member states. Scholars with research interests in the field of Public Policies can use this handbook as a valuable teaching resource and make use of the current themes in the critical debates chapters. And not lastly, it is useful for practitioners, for bureaucrats or EU affairs policy advisers employed at the local, regional or national level, interested in consolidating their expertise.
