Publications

Explore the key publications and findings of each phase of the PULP project, organized into four work packages (WPs). 

Each section below provides insights, data, and analysis generated at different project stages, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of spatial inequalities and the effectiveness of place-based policy approaches.

WP1: Within-Country Spatial Inequalities

Publications in this section map and analyze the level of spatial inequalities within the four selected European countries, focusing on socio-economic disparities across regions. Here, you will find data-driven scientific production identifying patterns of inequality that influence regional policy needs.

WP2: Institutional Settings and Policy Legacy

This section includes studies examining the governance frameworks and policy legacies that shape NRRP implementation. By assessing institutional contexts, these publications offer insights into how policy environments enable or hinder place-based approaches.

WP3: Cross-Country Analysis of NRRP Design and Implementation

In WP3, we conduct a comparative analysis of NRRP designs across different countries. Publications here highlight variations in place-sensitiveness governance structures and regional responsiveness, providing a cross-national perspective on NRRP implementation.

WP4: In-Depth Case Study of the Italian NRRP and Public Perception Analysis

Focused on Italy as a single-case study, WP4 publications explore the governance of the Italian NRRP, public narratives, and local perceptions. This section contains survey results, interview findings, and focus group insights, presenting a detailed view of the NRRP’s impact on the population and on its policy effectiveness.
