The view that the nation state is too small for the big problems and too big for the small problems has led to a growing awareness of the power and potential influence of regions within the member states of the EU.
Decision-making is no longer the prerogative of national governments acting alone or in concert as the affirmation of regional identities takes hold. This book foretells a future in which European states reassess their relationships with their neighbours and their citizens as what seems permanent is merely a historical moment.
The author provides an examination of the balance between state and region, centre and periphery, capital and province, within a variety of member states of the European Union. In each case there is analysis of the affirmation of regional identity in a historical context, the growth of regional development, and the dynamics of region/state and inter-regional competition and cooperation.
