Modern economies are subject to constant change. Deindustrialisation is an inevitable stage of economic development. However, it also brings about a number of undesirable phenomena associated with structural adjustment. The processes of adjustment can become particularly burdensome for regional economies. To address the problem, the European Union has reformed its structural policy. The new policy, referred to as (regional) cohesion, is a priority tool for the European Union, as testified by the fact that its implementation accounts for more than 43% of the entire EU budget expenditure. In Podlaskie Voivodeship, the changes caused by industrialisation and deindustrialisation, although less visible than in other regions (e.g. without typical behaviour patterns resulting from redundancy processes after the closing of industrial enterprises), bring both positive and negative effects for the region’s economy and society. The financial support received from the EU is intended to accelerate these changes, on the one hand, and to alleviate their negative impact on the other (e.g. by creating additional jobs, increasing the investment attractiveness of regions, and improving the comfort of living of the citizens).
