Abstract

Medeiros E. Euro--Meso--Macro: the new regions in Iberian and European space, Regional Studies . The European integration process, which has been supported by European Cohesion Policy since the end of the 1980s, is witnessing the establishment of an increasingly large number of the so-called Euroregions and similar structures, mainly as a result of experiments and projects carried out under the INTERREG community initiative, in all its strands (cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation), in a quest to search for better adequate socioeconomic development and multilevel governance solutions. This article explores the emergence of these new governance spaces in Europe and, in particular, in the Portuguese--Spanish border area, and it aims to assess their contribution of injecting new tailor-made regional/local development strategies and also to provide a conceptual clarification of these spaces, which became more relevant with the advent of the Macro-Regions that have come into being since 2007.
