Opis

The 1990 saw debates about the role of regions in European integration. The significance of regional tiers of government in EU politics has been boosted by changes in EU structural funding rules, the innovations of the Maastricht Treaty, and the growing importance of federal and regional government within member states. The effect has been to shift the balance of decision-making responsibility within the EU to a third (regional) level of government emerging in the EU policy process alongside the first (union) and second (member state) levels. As result, a system of multi-level governance can increasingly be identified, in which different levels of government adopt different roles in different fields of phases of the European policy process.
