  • EU Strategy for the Alpine Region
    BRIEFING EU strategy for the Alpine region SUMMARY Launched in January 2016, the European Union strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) is the fourth and most recent macro-regional strategy to be set up by the European Union. One of the biggest challenges facing the seven countries and 48 regions involved in the EUSALP is that of securing sustainable development in the macro-region, especially in its resource-rich, but highly vulnerable core mountain area. The Alps are home to a vast array of animal and plant species and constitute a major water reservoir for Europe. At the same time, they are one of Europe's prime tourist destinations, and are crossed by busy European transport routes. Both tourism and transport play a key role in climate change, which is putting Alpine natural resources at risk. The European Parliament considers that the experience of the EUSALP to date proves that the macro-regional concept can be successfully applied to more developed regions. The Alpine strategy provides a good example of a template strategy for territorial cohesion; as it simultaneously incorporates productive areas, mountainous and rural areas, and some of the most important and highly developed cities in the EU. Although there is a marked gap between urban and rural mountainous areas, the macro-region shows a high level of socio-economic interdependence, confirmed by recent research. Disparities (in terms of funding and capacity) between participating countries, a feature that has caused challenges for other EU macro-regional strategies, are less of an issue in the Alpine region, but improvements are needed and efforts should be made in view of the new 2021-2027 programming period.

  • Towards More Resilient Economies in Alpine Regions Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder D E R a N
    Acta geographica Slovenica, 55-2, 2015, 339–350 towaRds MoRe Resilient eConoMies in alPine Regions Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder D E R A N Z E N A J Regional economies are confronted with constant transformation, which is even more radical in times of economic crises. The picture shows the Schiffbau – the premises of former shipbuilding company in Zurich that were transformed into theatre. Riccardo Brozzi, Lucija Lapuh, Janez Nared, Thomas Streifeneder, Towards more resilient economies in Alpine regions Towards more resilient economies in Alpine regions DOI: http: //dx.doi.org/10.3986/AGS.916 UDC: 911.3:338.124.4(234.3) COBISS: 1.01 ABSTRACT: The economic crisis the world has faced since 2007 has had devastating effects on many regions to various degrees. How regions respond to economic shock depends on regional economic structure and performance, administrative capacity, resources, human capital, social capital, and other factors, and is per - ceived as resilience: the ability of a regional economy to withstand, absorb, or overcome an external economic stress. Because one of the future strategic goals for the Alpine Space Programme area is fostering its resilience, we studied the performance of Alpine regions in the pre - and post -crisis period in order to assess the effects of the economic crisis and to provide basic directions on how to make the Alps more resilient in the future . The results have revealed differences among three selected groups of regions as well as some country -spe - cific characteristics of the regional response that can generally be seen in the weaker performance of some Italian and Slovenian regions.

  • EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) ITALIAN PRESIDENCY
    February 2019 EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) ITALIAN PRESIDENCY 2019 Work Programme 1. Introduction: The Alpine Region1 The Alpine Region is among the largest natural, economic and productive areas in Europe, with over 80 million inhabitants, and among the most attractive tourist regions, welcoming millions of guests per year. While trade, businesses and industry in the Alpine Region are concentrated in the main areas of settlement on the outskirts of the Alps and in the large Alpine valleys along the major traffic routes, over 40 % of the Region is not or not permanently inhabited. Due to the Alpine Region’s unique geographic and natural characteristics, it is particularly affected by several of the challenges arising in the 21st century: Economic globalisation requires sustainable and continuously high competitiveness as well as the capacity to innovate; Demographic change leads to an ageing population and outward migration of highly qualified labour; Global climate change already has noticeable effects on the environment, biodiversity and living conditions for the inhabitants of the Alpine Region; A reliable and sustainable energy supply must be ensured in the parts of the Region which are difficult to access; As a transit region in the heart of Europe and due to its geographic features, the Alpine Region requires sustainable and custom-fit traffic concepts; The Alpine Region is to be preserved as a unique natural and cultural environment. 1 This description part comes from the Bavarian 2017 Work Programme 1 February 2019 The different characteristics of peripheral areas, centers of different sizes, and metropolises, require a dialogue on a basis of equality and the development of an alliance aimed at sustainable development while respecting its needs.

  • Transnational and Interregional Programmes of European Territorial Cooperation in Slovenia 2014—2020
    TRANSNATIONAL AND INTERREGIONAL PROGRAMMES OF EUROPEAN TERRITORIAL COOPERATION IN SLOVENIA 2014—2020 INTERREG V: CENTRAL EUROPE , ALPINE SPACE , MEDITERRANEAN , ADRION , DANUBE , INTERREG EUROPE , URBACT *, ESPON *, INTERACT *National Authority in Slovenia is Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning I. Slovenia in transnational and interregional programmes of European Territorial Cooperation 2014—2020 In the programming period 2014–2020, Slovenia cooperates in five transnational programmes (Alpine Space, Central Europe, Mediterranean, Danube and Adriatic-Ionian Programme - ADRION ) and in four interregional programmes ( INTERACT III , INTERREG EUROPE , URBACT III , ESPON 2020). There is EUR 1.386 million from European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF ) available within these programmes in the entire programming period ( EUR 872 million for transnational programmes and EUR 514 million for interregional programmes). Funds are granted by the managing authorities based on transnational and interregional calls for proposals and decisions of monitoring committees, which include representatives of all participating countries. The selection process is supported by national coordination. ERDF co-financing for Slovenian project partners is up to 85% of eligible expenditure and is based on reimbursements, allowing time for national verification of eligible costs, ac- tivities and public procurement procedures. ERDF funds are transferred directly to the lead partners, which in turn make transfers to the project partners. All managing authorities and other joint structures of transnational and interregional programmes are located outside Slovenia. The Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy acts as National Authority and National Control. In case of URBACT III and ESPON 2020, these roles are performed by the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning.

  • The Logic of Multilingualism in the Alpine Convention
    The Logic of Multilingualism in the Alpine Convention Paolo Angelini & Jon Marco Church French, German, Italian, and Slovenian are the official languages of the Alpine Convention: the practice of linguistic pluralism is frequent within some Alpine countries and has been prac- tised since the early years of the Convention. The common institutions play a vital role in ensur- ing the practice of multilingualism, choosing the model of the European Communities. In the Convention the use of English is frequent, but not predominant. Multilingualism is an asset for the Alpine Convention, allowing the participation of those who do not speak foreign lan- guages – but who play a vital role in the protection and sustainable development of the Alpine region – and contributing to the establishment of an effective system of multilevel governance. This analysis mirrors the daily practice of international cooperation to protect and sustainably develop the Alpine region. 1. The Alpine Convention: an Italian perspective Italy held the presidency of the Alpine Convention in 2001 and 2002, just two years after it deposited the ratification of the Framework Convention1. Italy was the last Alpine State to ratify the Convention. However, it had participated to the sessions of its bodies since the beginning of activities under the Alpine Convention. Furthermore, Italy possessed a legal and political culture that was already in harmony with the spirit of the Convention, as the Italian Constitution had already granted special protection to mountain areas and peoples since 19482. With mountains covering more than half of its territory, it could not be otherwise3 (Angelini et al. 2006:15).
