      abstract = {This paper aims at analysing the recent CAP reform from  the perspective of the
current general and strategic  objectives of the EU as defined by the Lisbon Strategy. A  critical
appraisal of the CAP impact in terms of regional  growth is carried out. Firstly from a strictly
conceptual  and methodological point of view, then by analysing more in  detail how CAP
reform (of both Pillar I and II) might have  actually affected the role of the CAP in promoting
(or  hindering) regional growth and, therefore, convergence.  Empirical evidence provided by
the different available  methodologies has progressively emerged in the very last  years.
Though a conclusive answer on the impact of the  reform can not be drawn, it still emerges
that the role of  CAP design and implementation in affecting regional growth  and convergence
is usually underestimated and often  neglected in the discussions about the future of the  CAP.
At the same time, however, this role is not univocal  and strongly case-specific, as it
substantially differs  across regions according to their socio-economic structure  and how
reforms are jointly implemented.},
