North-South Local Authority and Governance Differences in EU Networks

  • IOANNIS CHORIANOPOULOS

Abstract

The current pattern of spatial disparities in Europe increasingly reflects the different networking capacity and competitive orientation of European localities. The article focuses on the north-south pattern of disparities and discusses the particularities of the economic and socio-political contexts of urbanization and local governance in the southern states of Spain, Greece and Portugal. The European Union (EU) networking initiatives, it is argued, have limited provisions in their structures for the north-south divergence of European local governance, endangering an increase in disparities. The responses of seven northern and southern local authorities to two EU RECITE networks (1992-1997) are comparatively examined in this framework.
