Abstract

Faludi A. (2006) From European spatial development to territorial cohesion policy, Regional Studies 40, 667-678. The European Constitution defines territorial cohesion as a competence shared between the Union and the Member States. What does this stand for, and how is territorial cohesion policy going to take shape? Answering these questions, the paper deals with the European Spatial Development Perspective's advocacy of polycentrism and how territorial cohesion has given new impetus to pursuing this agenda. It also deals with French roots of territorial cohesion thinking and French endorsement of the Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC). Based on recent Communications, the paper shows that the European Commission intends territorial cohesion policy to take shape following not OMC but the 'Community Method'. However, it is argued that Member State involvement in its formulation following OMC is essential. Faludi A. (2006) Du developpement geographique europeen a la politique territoriale en faveur de la cohesion, Regional Studies 40, 667-678. La constitution europeenne definit la cohesion territoriale comme une competence partagee entre l'Union et les pays-membres. Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire, et comment la politique territoriale en faveur de la cohesion va-t-elle evoluer? Afin de repondre a ces questions, cet article cherche a aborder la notion de maillage polycentrique prone par la schema du developpement de l'espace communautaire et a considerer comment la cohesion territoriale a donne de l'impulsion a cet agenda. On traite aussi des origines francaises de la pensee sur la cohesion territoriale et de l'agrement francais de la Methode de coordination ouverte (MCO). Base sur des communications recentes, cet article cherche a demontrer que la Commission europeenne veut que la politique territoriale en faveur de la cohesion n'evolue pas en fonction de la CMO, mais en fonction de la 'methode communautaire'. Neanmoins, on affirme que la participation des pays-membres dans son elaboration est capitale. Schema du developpement de l'espace communautaire Cohesion territoriale Methode de coordination ouverte (MCO) FALUDI A. (2006) Von europaischer Raumentwicklungspolitik zu einer Politik des territorialen Zusammenhalts, Regional Studies 40, 667-678. Die europaische Verfassung versteht territoiralen Zusammenhalt als eine geteilte Kompetenz der Mitgliedstaaten und der Union. Was bedeutet das, und wie wird der territoriale Zusammenhang gestaltet? Im Laufe der Beantwortung dieser Fragen beschaftigt sich der Aufsatz mit der Befurwortung des Polyzentrismus im Europa-super-¨ischen Raumentwicklungskonzept und mit der Frage, wie territorialer Zusammenhalt den diesbezu-super-¨glichen Bemu-super-¨hungen neuen Auftrieb gegeben hat. Er bescha-super-¨ftigt sich auch mit den franzo-super-¨sischen Ursprungen dieses Gedankens sowie mit der franzo-super-¨sischen Befu-super-¨rwortung der offenen Koordinationsmethode. Gestutzt auf kurzlich erschienene Mitteilungen zeigt dieser Aufsatz, dass die Europaische Kommission beabsichtigt, die Politik des territorialen Zusammenhalts gemass der 'Gemeinschaftsmethode' Gestalt annehmen zu lassen. Der Aufsatz halt jedoch eine mitgliedstaatliche Teilnahme in Ubereinstimmung mit der offenen Koordinationsmethode fur wesentlich. Europaische Raumentwicklungsperspektive Gebietskohasion Freie Ko-ordinationsmethode Faludi A. (2006) Del desarrollo espacial europeo a la politica de cohesion territorial, Regional Studies 40, 667-678. La Constitucion europea define la cohesion territorial como una competencia compartida entre la Union y los Estados Miembros. ¿Que significado tiene esto y como se disenara la politica de cohesion territorial? En este articulo se responde a estas cuestiones tratando la defensa del policentrismo en la Perspectiva de Desarrollo Espacial Europeo y analizando como la cohesion territorial ha impulsado la nueva atencion de esta agenda. Tambien trata sobre las raices francesas de la idea de cohesion territorial y el reconocimiento frances del Metodo Abierto de Coordinacion (MAC). Basandome en recientes comunicaciones, demuestro que la Comision Europea pretende dar forma a la politica de cohesion territorial no siguiendo el MAC sino el 'Metodo de la Comunidad'. Sin embargo, se sostiene que es esencial la participacion de los Estados Miembros en su formulacion tras la coordinacion del MAC.
