Abstract

Although there is no European macro-regional strategy for the Western Mediterranean, various studies identify notable spatial and socio-economic characteristics of the area. The Western Mediterranean includes numerous regional and sub-state cooperation schemes and we can observe a trend towards macro-regional forms of cooperation. We point out and analyse both the variables that can drive such a macro-regionalisation, and those that can limit it. The case of the Western Mediterranean contributes to better grasp how macro-regionalisation, which combines a trans-meso scale and a post-complex rationale, can renew EU spatial references and planning policies.
