THE EUROPEAN DIMENSION OF SUB-NATIONAL REGIONALISM IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
THE EUROPEAN DIMENSION OF SUB-NATIONAL REGIONALISM IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: The emerging regionalism within member states of the European Union has been triggered by challenges of the nation-state and has evolved differently from state to state. However, the activity and visibility of regions has been increasingly noticeable at European level through their offices and representations in Brussels, their presence and activity further raising the interest of many scholars. The paper offers an overview of the emergence of European regions and the activity of regions at European level, as a consequence of regionalism taking up a European dimension, especially from the perspective of the regional “paradiplomatic” characteristic of their contribution within the European multi-level governance system.
