European Integration and Rural Development: Actors, Institutions and Power
ISBN: 9781409468547 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

While MLG was the first concept to scrutinize the position of local levels of public administration and other actors within the EU polity, it overestimates the degree of influence it ascribes to local levels, particularly as far as the rural is concerned. Focusing on Germany and Finland, with country specific information from all EU...
