Abstract

Barca F. (2006) European Union evaluation between myth and reality: reflections on the Italian experience, Regional Studies 40, 273-276. The paper examines the role of European Union Cohesion policy evaluation in a new strategic approach to the design and implementation of the Structural Funds in Italy, launched in 1998. Models were used to establish benchmarks for policy, evaluation guidelines were produced, and investment in evaluation capacity was undertaken at national and regional levels. These initiatives have improved the knowledge base for decision-making and contributed to a more rigorous and open debate on policy choices in both the current Structural Funds period and for the National Strategic Reference Framework for 2007-13.
