| description | The strategic orientation and candidate status for accession to the European
Union clearly point toward the country’s European perspective. In this context,
strengthening the territorial cohesion and balanced regional development
become crucial for convergence with the EU integration process. Hence, this
paper aims at a) disclosing the regional disparities of the country; b) identifying
the state of situation in the field of territorial cooperation; c) perceiving
potentials for the efficient use of the territorial resource. Secondary data of the
last five years, the Official Journal and the Bureau for balanced regional
development are used in order to assess the changes in disparity between the
eight planning regions in Macedonia while implementing the new policy for
balanced regional development. We provide testing for the correlation between
the changes in development indices for the two consecutive periods and funds
allocated for regional projects during the five-year policy implementation phase. |
