This book explores how regional political parties use Europe to
advance their territorial projects in times of rapid state
restructuring. It examines the ways in which decentralization and
supranational integration have encouraged regional parties to
pursue their strategies across multiple territorial levels. This
book constitutes the first attempt to unravel the complexities of
how nationalist and statewide parties manoeuvre around the twin
issues of European integration and decentralization, and exploit
the shifting linkages within multi-level political systems. In a
detailed comparative examination of three cases - Scotland, Bavaria
and Sardinia - over a thirty-year period, the book explores how
integration has altered the nature of territorial party competition
and identifies the limits of Europe for territorial projects. In
addressing these issues, this work moves beyond present scholarship
on multi-level governance to explain the diversity of regional
responses to Europe. By providing important new insights and
empirical research on the conduct of territorial party politics,
and an innovative model of territorial mobilization in Europe, this
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
comparative politics, European studies, regionalism and federalism,
political parties and devolution. -- .
