In this respect, there are two points of departure: the first is the argument that the EU is a highly compound polity that tends to pull member (and candidate) states in this direction; the second is the considerable literature that links EU cohesion policy to the promotion of multi-level governance. Following this, we have chosen a range of south east European states whose period of engagement with the EU generally differs: Greece, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, F.Y.R. Macedonia and Turkey. The case studies reveal that EU cohesion policy has created more compound polities but that system-wide multi-level governance remains weak and central governments are still prominent. However, there are interesting and potentially important developments in relation to particular features of multi-level governance, not least in states whose engagement with the EU in this sphere is relatively new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eSoutheast European and Black Sea Studies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Bache\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415852846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415852845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.28d","brand":"Ian Bache","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086660481279,"sku":"9780415852845","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e6a689f-d0b7-4bd4-86fe-328cf83f245f.jpg?v=1769095876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cohesion-policy-and-multi-level-governance-ian-bache-9780415852845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
