After presenting the conceptual framework used to address the theme, we characterise the case and indicate the state of macro-regional cooperation in the area. Then we discuss the variables that contribute to this cooperation, and those that limit it. This case study sheds light on how macro-regionalisation, by combining a trans-meso scale and a post-complex rationale, induces a renewal of spatial references and planning policies in the European Union. It opens perspectives for the future programming period of territorial cooperation.}, type={Text}, title={The macro-regionalisation of the western Mediterranean, between renewal and uncompletion}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/140707/PDF/WA51_173698_r2020-t38_Europa-XXI-Perrin.pdf}, keywords={European Union, macro-region, macro-regionalisation, territorial cooperation, Western Mediterranean}, }
