This article analyses the evolution of European rural regional economies and the Community's public regional policies, with a view to drawing lessons for other areas of the world, especially Latin America. After presenting relative size data for the EU regions based on population, territory, employment and income, the article analyses the key economic and social trends in these areas, together with the underlying explanatory factors. The main conclusion is that the economic development of the rural regions of the EU is much more due to the overall national economic development issues, than to rural development policies. Therefore, the way to achieve rural development is by means of a good overall economic development policy, and national policies are more determining than EU-wide policies in the overall economic development of the EU member states. The article finishes with a summary of the lessons to be learnt from EU rural development policy, which suggest the need for radical policy change based on a reduction in the agricultural component coupled with an increase in the territorial and environmental components. ; Este artículo analiza la evolución de la economía regional rural europea y las políticas regionales públicas comunitarias, con el fin de aportar lecciones a otras áreas del mundo, especialmente Latinoamérica.

Además, la vía para conseguir desarrollo rural es a través de buenas políticas de desarrollo económico generales. El artículo finaliza con un resume de los aspectos a aprender de la política de desarrollo rural de la UE, sugiriendo la necesidad de un cambio radical de esta basándose en la reducción del componente agrícola unido a un incremento de los componentes territoriales y ambientales.

La política europea de cooperación al desarrollo se enmarca dentro de la estructura de los principios y objetivos de la acción exterior de la Unión, sin desplazar la competencia de los Estados miembros en este ámbito. Más bien, las políticas de cooperación para el desarrollo de la Unión y de los Estados miembros se complementan y refuerzan mutuamente. Así, la UE no solo se enfrenta al desafío de la Coherencia de Políticas para el Desarrollo en el plano horizontal, cuando sus decisiones conciernen a otros sectores competenciales que pueden afectar a los países socios, sino también en el plano vertical, cuando se trata de coordinar su labor con los Estados miembros y con las organizaciones internacionales. Siendo la solidaridad uno de los valores en los que se fundamenta la Unión, el marco regional europeo resulta el nivel más adecuado para incrementar la eficacia de la ayuda europea gracias a la coordinación y gestión coherente de las distintas políticas. ; The European policy of development cooperation falls within the framework of the principles and objectives of the external action of the Union, without shifting the responsibility of Member States in this area, but the Union and Member States cooperation policies for the development that complement and reinforce each other. Thus, the EU not only faces the challenge of Policy Coherence for Development in the horizontal plane, when their decisions concerning other jurisdictional areas that may affect partner countries, but also in the vertical plane, when it comes to coordinating their work with Member States and international organizations. Being solidarity one of the values on which the European Union is founded, the European regional framework becomes the most suitable level to increase the effectiveness of European aid, assuming responsibility for coordination and management of policy coherence.

In this article, we analyze the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Union (EU) through the study of 'resistance' to gender equality initiatives in EU research policy. Contributing to feminist institutionalist theories, we identify resistance to gender initiatives within the Directorate General Research and Innovation, showing that there have been obstacles to an effective implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme (FP6). We argue that the encountered resistances reveal tensions between the European Commission's official mandate of mainstreaming gender equality into all policies and its actual implementation, which results in the 'filtering out' of transformative gender equality goals

The article reveals the importance of the legal institution in the urban planning structure in the Russian Federation, using the methods of content analysis and deductive and inductive approaches. In connection with the creation of a new public-legal entity for Russia, the federal territory "Sirius", a comparative analysis was carried out, as a result of which it is evident that the territories of the federal capital were identified as optimal in terms of the success of development, the economic achievement of which is due, among other things, to novel progress, generally based on the acquisition by the public authorities of the federal territory of special rights over parcels within federal territories. Considering that one of the objectives of the creation of the federal territory "Sirius" is a complex sustainable and innovative socioeconomic development of the territory and, in addition, with the factor of lack of legal certainty, the authors conclude that the need to use a new conceptual apparatus of elements of planning structure in the regulation of urban planning activities of the territory is justified. federal, which are defined and ascribed in the general regulatory system.

The beginning of modern history and the subsequent war in Bosnia and Herzegovina coincide with the institutional beginnings of the European Union common foreign and security policy. At that time, Europe did not have a single position, nor could it have achieved a political consensus on any issue. In addition, it lacked appropriate instruments, as well as readiness and willingness to actively engage to put an end to war in BiH. The war in BiH was stopped, however, thanks to the efforts of the United States. This was a crucial moment for Europe to modify its common foreign and security policy. The European Union has passed a thorny path of establishing common foreign and security policy. On this path, however, the EU has experienced some progress and achieved good results, although not sufficient, just as BiH has made some progress in reforms. In order for BiH to joint the family of modern democratic countries, it will need a stronger engagement of the European Union and its more decisive common foreign and security policy, because only together we can cope with global challenges. Peace and prosperity in Bosnia and Herzegovina will also help build free and stable Europe.

The purpose of this article was to identify the characteristics of the development of Ukraine's social policy in the context of integration into EU standards. The historical method was used to perform analysis of documentary sources in the temporal context and to investigate the genesis of the introduction of social policy and trends towards its further development with Europe. The legal method was also used to investigate Ukrainian and EU legislation and its application in the social field, in order to investigate its gaps, as well as its influence on integration processes. By way of conclusion, it was determined that the processes of European integration and, more precisely, the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to EU standards in the social field played an important role in the development of the country's social policy. At the same time, there were differences in terminological approaches to key categories of the legislative systems of Ukraine and the EU, as well as in separate areas of social policy.

Este artículo presenta en perspectiva histórica la experiencia del autor como alto funcionario en la Comisión Europea a temas ligados a la cooperación al desarrollo de la Unión Europea, tema al cual el autor había previamente contribuido con experiencias y reflexiones provenientes de una trayectoria académica en la Universidad de Barcelona, pero también en organismos privados y públicos, tanto catalanes como españoles e internacionales. Se aborda en particular la contribución de los funcionarios españoles a la elaboración de una perspectiva de cooperación al desarrollo como un proceso interactivo entre sociedades y no exclusivamente entre Estados. El artículo concluye sobre la transformación y expansión de la cooperación al desarrollo europea desde una perspectiva de exportación de un modelo social de desarrollo a otro de orden más estrictamente mercantil y con un cambio paralelo desde una perspectiva intergubernamental a otra más supranacional. El artículo también expone el impacto directo de la integración europea sobre la institucionalización de la cooperación al desarrollo en España, demostrando que gran parte de esa relevancia está directamente ligada a la integración europea. ; In this article the author introduces in historical perspective his experience as former high civil servant of the European Commission in topics related to the Development Cooperation of the European Union. The author had previously worked in such topics both as scholar and practitioner in the University of Barcelona and in public and private institutions in Catalonia, Spain and international organisations. He deals in particular with the contribution made by Spanish civil servants to the creation of a new perspective on development cooperation as an interactive process between societies and not exclusively between states. The article concludes on the transformation and expansion of eu development cooperation from the promotion of social model of development to another more strictly based on economic values which also changed from inter-governmental to a more integrated supranational policy. The article also elaborates on the direct impact of European integration on the institutionalisation of Spanish Development Cooperation, as a clear example of a direct influence of participation of the country to European integration.
