Does politics matter? is the fundamental question posed by this
thoughtful book. The contributors explore the role and influence of
political leadership through a rigorous comparative analysis of
regional-level dynamics in Europe. Through case studies that center
around three dimensions-economy, institutions, and identity-the
book makes a compelling argument against excessive reliance on
macro-determinism, either 'from above' or 'from below.' The cases
provide fascinating evidence regarding the role of political agency
for territorial governance between the double pressure of
globalization and Europeanization on one side, and local culture on
the other. Taken together, they show that agency can apply at two
levels: first, that of institutions, which therefore do not
automatically converge under the pressure of globalization and
Europeanization; and second that of identity, which therefore does
not necessarily mirror the existing political culture. Regional
government does 'work,' both in the sense that territorial entities
engage in real political choices, and that these choices often
result in effective outcomes.
