| Abstract: | This article explores targets and effectiveness of network policies at the EU level, by presenting an analysis of the R&D network that has emerged over Framework Programmes. According to the authors the emerging network appears to be dense and pervasive, branching around a large "oligarchic core". This paper discusses the degree to which this network structure may respond to EU broad policy objectives ans its implications for recent programmes aimed at shaping a European Research Area. |
