This chapter articulates the research problem that economic growth in the EU since the 2008 global financial crisis has made the EU ostensibly successful, yet we continue to see pervasive well-being problems in the EU. Despite a large literature on EU spending effects on growth, we know little about how the EU can use its budgetary resources to enhance well-being. Well-being and related concepts such as inequality, inclusive growth, and social investments, have been extensively studied in the welfare state and social policy literature, but not in relation to EU spending. This chapter describes how the book fills this knowledge gap. It presents the book’s main argument and contribution, introduces the empirical context of EU spending in which the inquiry is undertaken, and summarizes the main evidence in the context of a chapter synopsis.

Chapter 2 sets the stage by describing the multi-stage and multi-level process of disbursing EU regional spending. The chapter analyses how and to what extent social goals have been integrated into EU regional policy historically, and in what context. It considers EU regional policy reform from a historical perspective, and specifically analyses EU regional funding programmes and the amounts of funding allocated to social goals over time. It finds that social goals have been increasingly mainstreamed into the EU’s regulatory framework for regional spending and to a lesser extent in regional funding practices. However, the EU’s social investment portfolio has remained largely unchanged since the late 1990s. Moreover, social investments have remained at about a fifth of the EU regional policy budget.

This chapter analyses the weak and adverse effects of EU funding on regional well-being found in the statistical analysis in Chapter 5. Drawing from news media and interview evidence, the qualitative inquiry in this chapter highlights the high levels of skills and infrastructure in urbanized areas, which tend to receive the bulk of EU social investments. Five main barriers are identified that crucially prevent the benefits from EU spending from reaching poor and otherwise disadvantaged groups: (a) social and economic investments remain largely siloed; (b) social funding amounts continue to be small; (c) small amounts of EU funding are spread thinly and to richer areas; (d) severe information asymmetries work to the disadvantage of potential beneficiaries that may have otherwise been able to put forward suitable projects that benefit the poor, and (e) shortfalls in administrative capacity contribute to exacerbating adverse EU funding effects on income inequality in poor regions.

This chapter develops the theoretical argument of this study about the conditions under which EU spending will contribute to enhancing well-being in the EU. The chapter explicates the concept of regional well-being put forward in this study. Regional well-being is conceptualized as distributive justice, which strengthens people’s capabilities to achieve the good things for which human beings strive. The bulk of the chapter is dedicated to a discussion of the mechanisms EU social investments use to enhance regional well-being, drawing from previous insights on distributive justice, welfare economics and welfare state research. Taken together, the chapter sets out an intricate argument about the conditions that would increase the likelihood of EU spending effects on regional well-being.
