The E.U. Structural Funds

by Andrew Evans

Overview

This pioneering book provides the first systematic and critical examination of the role of the EU Structural Funds in European integration. This issue is important because substantial sums of money are involved that are not being used effectively or efficiently. The book raises topical issues following the challenges posed by the introduction of the Euro and the planned admission of several Eastern European countries to the Union.
