Cross-border cooperation in inner Scandinavia: a territorial impact assessment
The use of territorial impact assessment procedures is gaining increasing relevance in the European Union policyevaluation processes. However, no concrete territorial impact assessment tools have been applied to evaluatingEU cross-border programmes. In this light, this article provides a pioneering analysis on how to make use of ter-ritorial impact assessment procedures on cross-border programmes. More specifically, it assesses the main terri-torial impactsoftheInnerScandinavian INTERREG-A sub-programme, inthe last 20years (1996–2016). It focuseson its impacts on reducing the barrier effect, in all its main dimensions, posed by the presence of the administra-tive border. The results indicate a quite positive impact of the analysed cross-border cooperation programme, inreducing the barrier effect in all its main dimensions. The obtained potential impact values for each analysed di-mension indicate, however, that the‘economy-technology’dimension was particularly favoured, following itsstrategic intervention focus in stimulating the economic activity and the attractiveness of the border area. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
