description European cohesion policy can in some ways be seen as a spatial justice policy in the sense of solidarity between rich and poor regions, yet European debates often raise harshly the question of the link between solidarity and efficiency. This paper questions this policy in the context of the preparation of the 2021-27 program, which is also that of two close global crises. Using the grey literature, it is mainly based on the Italian case, emblematic of the crisis of solidarity between North and South, which questions today the ability of the European project to combine market, regional development and solidarity. Tackling cohesion in the light of the concept of spatial justice highlights the importance of issues of scale and in particular the difficult articulation between national and european policies. The evolution of the stakes (competitiveness-effectiveness vs. solidarity) and of the territorial priorities (inter-regional vs. intra-regional and urban disparities) of the cohesion policy questions its purpose even though it remains a major topic for a European project in crisis.
