Abstract

This article aims to shed light on the particular insights of the contextual challenges and feasibility factors of EU cohesion funds implementation in Spain as a result of a conceptually seeded political agency impact at the Maastricht Treaty turning point. Furthermore, it aspires to point out the triggers of a fragility based on the neglected unfolding of the potentialities offered by EU cohesion policy via unsustainable innovation model choices and sharpened gaps in the national institutional system. The main sources selected to elucidate the retroaction cycle between external contextual factors and inner national tensions in the definition of precise modes of implementing cohesion funds come from the Spanish General Administrative Archives, the Spanish Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Spanish Secretariat of State for EU Affairs Archives, as well as from Oral History interviews with key decisionmakers on EU cohesion funds both at the European institutions and at the domestic level.
