Abstract

Pawlas focuses on economic development as a target of integration processes developed by the EU. Pawlas explores the Treaties concerning economic development and follows with the identification of the scale of disparities among and within the EU Member States in terms of economic development. The chapter provides insight into the Lisbon Strategy and the Europe 2020 Strategy as the EU answers to developmental challenges of the twenty-first century and their correlation with New Cohesion Policy 2007–2013 and EU Policy of Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion 2014–2020. Pawlas concludes with some remarks regarding a new strategic agenda 2019–2024. Pawlas stresses the need for higher inclusiveness and sustainability of economic development, which can be achieved only if structural reforms and systemic institutional changes are implemented.
