Die EU-Strategie für den Donauraum auf dem Prüfstand

The EU-Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) was established in June 2011 as the second macro-regional strategy of the European Union. This edited volume aims to not only assess the experiences and accomplishments of the strategy but also its deficiencies after its first years of implementation. Moreover, it discusses its future prospects. The first part of the volume addresses the development, objectives and the governance of the macro-regional strategies as well as the added value of this strategy compared to other forms of regional cooperation. The second part includes a comparison of the EUSDR with the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). It suggests the prospects for additional macro-regional strategies, which are currently being devised, and analyses to what extent the EUSDR supports transnational cooperation processes. The third part of the volume deals with the EUSDRs influence on economic competitiveness in the Danube region. These contributions identify the similarities and the differences in the states abilities to foster competitiveness and innovation, thereby focusing on the importance of the connection between knowledge and competition to increase prosperity in the Danube region.
