Abstract

The aim of the article is to generate a debate on the definition and application of territorial approach of the future cohesion policy of the European Union (EU). Territorial cohesion, its instruments and tools have formed a specific 'paradigm', 'disciplinary matrix' and 'vocabulary'. However, a peculiar dichotomy resonates, namely the global economic competitiveness objective of the EU is (usually) confronted with the territorial cohesion objectives of the EU. Permanent failure is generated and anomalies of territorial cohesion paradigm are on the rise. Are we at the threshold of a new scientific revolution inside the EU and within its territorial cohesion matrix?

Keywords: Cohesion Policy, European Union, matrix, member states, paradigm, scientific revolution, territoriality
