    Eurocrisis and Regional States: New trends in the European Regional Policy and the Regions’ future
    in Perspectives on federalism , vol. 6, issue 3 ,  2014 ,  E172-E186
    This article focuses on the impact of the Eurocrisis on Regions and the role played by the European Regional Policy. Budget constraints and austerity measures determine to a large extent social policies, which have been traditionally designed and implemented by the Regions of Member States such Italy or Spain. This trend is particularly troublesome because one of the main Regions’ sources of legitimacy is the achievement of positive equality. This tendency could be smoothed by in the European Regional Policy. However, this article puts this into question given the current link of Regional Funds to both economic governance requirements and the Lisbon Agenda.
