In person icon Subnational Actors in the EU: Formation, Expression and Adaptation

Abstract

Deepening integration and regionalization are two parallel processes which have gathered pace in Europe this last half century. This panel invites submissions which tackle the interaction between these two processes from a plurality of viewpoints and using a variety of methods ranging from qualitative case studies to large-n analyses. Areas of interest and relevance to the panel are related to: the formation, aggregation and expression of regional interests within the EU political system; the implementation of EU legislation and programmes at the subnational level; regional adaptation to a changing EU (from the impact of the Lisbon Treaty to broader Europeanization processes); how regional players seek to influence the EU (policies) and its emerging constitutional order; how regional parties interact with the integration process; how non-public regional actors such as trade unions or business associations evolve within the EU’s multi-level political system.
