The article assesses the added value of cohesion policy for the Greek region of Epirus in the period 2000–2006. The concept of added value is employed in order to identify the impact of the EU‐financed Regional Operational Programme ‘Epirus 2000–2006’ on the economic performance of the region, the substance of regional policy in the area, and the subnational institutions of Epirus, as well as the local politics and policy style. The main message derived from this exercise is that, in the absence of serious domestic institutional reform, EU regional programmes in underdeveloped and centralized (multiregional) countries do not have a strong potential for generating added value
