Is Europe witnessing the death of the once mighty nation-state? If
it is, then two of the most powerful factors in its post-war
decline have been European integration and regionalism. Both
challenge the nation state's monopoly of authority - one from
above, the other from below. Although it is increasingly recognized
that the two are connected. This book provides a definitive
examination of the new patterns of politics and policy that link
the three levels of European Union, nation state, and region.
Looking at each member state in turn the authors emphasize the
diversity of the European experience. European integration has
differing impacts on different regions. In some it is seen as a
threat, centralizing power and increasing their peripherality. To
others it is an opportunity to by-pass national governments and
assert their personality. The authors are sceptical of the `Europe
of the Regions' scenario, in which nation states fade away in
favour of the other two levels. But they do show how the Maastricht
commitment to subsidiarity together with the twin forces of
European integration and regional assertion are profoundly changing
the politics of Europe as it moves into the twenty-first century.
