-Abstract. The aim of this paper is to assess the Polish–Czech border cooperation and to compare it to the Polish–German border. The studies have been based on the analysis of the projects qualified for implementation under the INTERREG III A programmes. Particular emphasis was put on the relationships between spatial distribution of these projects and the level of economic development of the given areas. The generic characteristic of the projects and institutional structure of beneficiaries was also examined. On the basis of the obtained results it was verified how the scale of cooperation and the amount of financial outlays incurred to date affect its quality.<br>

+Abstract: This paper presents an analysis which regional policy strategies are conducted in the Czech Republic, in Hungary and Poland, i.e. in three of the new EU member states after EU accession, and whether these regional policy strategies give priority to the growth objective or whether they place emphasis on the equalisation objective. This question is of great importance for the respective member states when they are trying to cope with the balancing act between rapid macroeconomic convergence towards the EU level and avoiding marginalisation of less developed regions in the respective countries. The paper starts with a brief survey on regional disparities in the countries under consideration. Then, the general objectives of the respective regional policy strategies laid down in the context of using the EU Structural Funds during the period 2004–2006 are examined regarding the relevance of growth and equalisation objectives. To gain insights, how the general objectives are implemented, the procedures to select beneficiary regions are reviewed. Then, the individual measures designated to reach the policy objectives are examined whether they are targeted at spatial growth poles or at the weakest regions. Finally, an overview regarding the prospects of regional policies in the countries under consideration in the programming period 2007–2013 will be given. For the purpose of this paper, documents of the national governments of the countries under consideration as well as thematically relevant academic literature and regional data provided by EUROSTAT are explored.<br>
