Transferring ‘good’ territorial governance across Europe. Opportunities and barriers

The book provides a comprehensive framework for analysing, comparing and promoting territorial governance in policy relevant research. It reveals in-depth considerations of the emergence, state-of-the art and evolution of the concept of territorial governance in Europe. This chapter focuses on the conditions of transferability of territorial governance features. The model for transferability here presented assumes that specific characteristics of an institutional context are fundamental prerequisites for action, especially as far as territorial governance is concerned.
