The strategic structuring of the new European Recovery and Resilience Facility
Abstract
The paper seeks to explore the ideological and strategic structuring of the new Recovery and Resilience Facility of the EU. The central argument is that the dominant EU actors chose to combine ambition and solidarity regarding the financing of the new instrument with incrementalism regarding the justification, the targeting, and the management of its activities. As a result: a) the Mechanism has as its aim to implement the new industrial strategy of the Union, which was adopted just before the outbreak of the pandemic, and b) its normative foundations and organizational principles follow well-known and established ideas and practices which are primarily drawn from cohesion policy and the European Semester.
