Regional Europe

Regions in Europe explores the state of regional politics in an increasingly integrated Europe. It argues that the predicted rise of increased political power at the regional level has failed to materialize and is fraught with paradox. In doing so this study locates regions in relation to European integration, globalization, the nation state, local government, and comparative and national perspectives. Using case studies of the main players in Europe including: Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium, the contributors show how and why European regions remain remarkably weak in European governance. Drawing together leading European scholars, Regions in Europe will be essential reading for those interested in European politics, political economy, nations states and social groups in the new Europe.
