The ability to successfully manage finances is considered to be proof of self-sufficiency and maturity. It is valid in the case of individuals as in the case of countries and regions. In an un-premeditated feedback loop, the EU funds are designed to create stronger regional

outside the majority, direct decision-making and enhanced space for manoeuvre becomes
surprisingly appealing. It is not yet the time for a Europe of Regions; still, powers are
being shifted within the national level. The present thesis hopes to define new concepts
into the scholar research in understanding the EU-enhanced behaviour of autonomist
regions. (Less)
