Abstract

The past two decades have seen increasing interest in the quality of government as an explanatory factor for the performance of European Union (EU) Cohesion Policy. An under-researched strand of these studies is administrative capacity in Cohesion Policy. Against this background, this mini-special issue provides new perspectives on the theme of administrative capacity, providing new insights into the operation and effectiveness of administrative capacity-building measures implemented in the EU countries, particularly through the support provided by the Structural Funds.
