From euroregions to macroregions : a reasonable step? An appraisal from Western Mediterranean
Résumé
Macro-regional strategies of the European Union are conceived as new instruments for territorial cooperation. They must integrate all the available and existing resources and schemes within the same transnational geographical area. These strategies are expected to articulate functional and political complexity and to improve policy e9ciency through cooperative and flexible approaches, without creating new institution or funding. In the framework of the Western Mediterranean macro-region, we can wonder for instance whether two existing euroregions in this area – Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée and Euroregion Alpes-Méditerranée – can be milestones in the constitution of a macro-regional strategy for this area.
The case of cultural cooperation is an interesting example to address this question. Indeed, among the various policies that are developed within euroregions, culture appears to be a frequent domain of cooperation.
