    Este trabajo tiene por objeto explorar la forma en que las políticas de juventud a nivel europeo, nacional y regional abordan las prioridades para un desarrollo positivo de la juventud en las regiones fronterizas de Portugal. Empíricamente, hemos realizado entre- vistas en estas regiones con los responsables políticos locales y análisis de documentos de las políticas de juventud europeas y portuguesas. Los resultados muestran una fuerte comprensión a nivel regional del papel crucial que desempeñan las políticas y acciones para que los jóvenes participen en vías positivas, aunque hay poca referencia a la sensibilidad regional en las prioridades políticas a nivel europeo y nacional. Abogamos por la necesidad de diseñar políticas territorializadas que sean capaces de informar sobre las experiencias situadas de los jóvenes y de reducir la brecha de oportunidades entre los territorios.

    This work aims to explore how youth policies at European, national and regional level are addressing priorities towards a positive youth development in the border regions of Portugal. Empirically, we did interviews in these regions with local policy makers and document analysis of European and Portuguese youth policies. The results shows a strong understanding at regional level of the crucial role that policies and actions play in engaging young people in positive pathways, although there is little reference to regional sensitivity in policy priorities at European and National levels. We argue for the need to design territorialized policies that are able to report on young people’s situated experiences and to reduce the gap of opportunities between territories.
