Notes
1. Strictly speaking, ESPON is part-financed by the European Union within the INTERREG III programme. ESPON is however different from other INTERREG initiatives in terms of scope, organization and perspective. Therefore, ESPON and INTERREG will be referred to as two distinct programmes in this article.
2. The regime of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was the original case studied in this context (Haas, Citation1992; Zito, Citation2001).
3. The article of Zonneveld and Stead (this issue 2007) follows a similar approach when discussing the inclusion of notion of urban – rural partnerships in both ESPON and INTERREG programmes.
4. EU member states, Bulgaria, Romania, Norway and Switzerland.
5. Survey conducted as part of the ESPON 2.2.1. project on the ‘Territorial Effects of the Structural Funds’ in spring 2006. A questionnaire was sent electronically to the approximately 800 INTERREG IIIB Lead Partners. The returned number of questionnaire was of 147.
6. For further readings, the reader may find in the special issue of the disP journal (2006, 165(2)), edited by Andreas Faludi and Bas Waterhout, a fairly pertinent state-of-the-art account of the emergence of evidence-based planning in the context of European spatial planning.
