Summary:

The flexible and task-specific approach that the EU macro-regional strategies, recently launched, for the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (2009) and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (2010) may explain the enthusiasm they have drawn. However, although macro-regional strategies are pregnant with potential, it does not mean that this is a suitable instrument for all parts of Europe?

By analysing in detail two already existing macro-regional strategies, Stefanie Dühr questions how they operate and whether they bring any added value. By underlining the complexity of such governance questions and by examining the ramifications tied to the various geopolitical interests vested in the two macro-regional strategies, she helps us understand the importance of not drawing conclusions too quickly.
