“…However, policy-seeking purposes were predominant in the strategies undertaken by the Autonomous Regions of Azores and Madeira; fund-seeking purposes dominated in the rest of the cases. These conclusions corroborate previous findings from Oikonomou (2016) and Tatar (2011) on the Greek and Estonian cases, respectively. In sum, in our sample of 5 case-studies, territorial engagement in the EU has resulted in 'decentralization' in the Portuguese Autonomous Regions and in 'modest decentralization' in the rest of the cases.…”

This conclusion ties together the various contributions to the Special Issue from the perspective of the introductory framework. Based on this framework, the conclusion shows that: (i) domestic mediating factors are responsible for nuanced state rescaling outcomes in small unitary states, (ii) the EU has led to decentralization and recentralization in both phases of the EU decisionmaking process and (iii) the level of authority is the best predictor of SNAs' empowerment, although this is intertwined with secondary mediating domestic factors. This concluding article sheds new light on the hybrid nature of the European polity and demonstrates that states remain the most important pieces of the European 'puzzle'. The Special Issue arrives at two conclusions: first, we are witnessing a 'transformation of the state' rather than its demise, and second, the notion of a 'Europe of the Regions' in small unitary states is nothing more than a 'damp squib'.

“…Számos politológiai kutatás témája az EU csatlakozás közigazgatásra gyakorolt hatása, a kormányzás új módszereinek elterjedése, a többszintű kormányzás és a decentralizáció kérdései 6. E kutatásokban természetszer űen csak egy részterületet jelent a strukturális támogatások felhasználása, bár egyes tanulmányok, illetve projektek kifejezetten erre a kérdésre koncentrálnak (Scherpereel 2006;Musialkowska-Sapala-Gazda 2007;Hermann-Pawtowska 2008;Dezséri-Vida 2007;Tatar 2009).…”

Az EU kohéziós politika kormányzati irányításának magyar sajátosságai

A cikk az elmúlt két évben végzett kutatásaim eredményeire támaszkodva, a többi közép-kelet-európai országgal, illetve a hazai szakpolitikákkal összevetve mutatja be az EU kohéziós politika irányítási rendszerének magyar sajátosságait. Megállapítja, hogy a sajátos megoldások ugyan viszonylag jó abszorpciós mutatók elérését biztosították, de az abszorpciós cél túldimenzionálása, a túlzott központosítás és a második tervciklusban előtérbe kerülő direkt napi politikai ráhatás nagy valószínűséggel akadályozta a források hatékony és eredményes felhasználását.

In serious game design, there is a growing trend towards involving players more substantially in the development process. However, several scholars and practitioners agree that still more research and empirical data are needed to guide such participatory prototyping processes. So far, less focus has been put on the influence of co-creation and co-design on participants in the process. This article explores the co-creation and co-design process in creating a serious game called “Mission BioHero”, with a focus on sustainability and the bioeconomy. The game aims to engage citizens in the bioeconomy, help them learn in a fun and interactive way, and aggregate their ideas to shape bioeconomy policies. This serious game was fully co-created and co-designed with citizens and stakeholders from eight regions in five European countries. This research investigates the nature and impact of co-creation and co-design on game development and its driving success factors, explores educational capacities of this participatory process on participants, and evaluates its impact on the co-designed serious game. The findings draw upon empirical data gathered from the co-creation and co-design phases, participants’ feedback, and external game players’ input. The study confirms the value of the participatory design process in serious games design and offers methodologies, tools and lessons learned for similar future processes.
