englischThis book gauges the influence of nationalist parties on European policies. The ability of regions – the constituent units from decentralized member states – to shape EU decisions has been at the centre of discussions on European integration theory and of European Union politics for fifteen years now. By combining evidence from Germany, Italy and Spain, and from two EU policy areas – audiovisual and cohesion – the author shows why and when understanding EU policies requires taking regional lobbying of the European Parliament and the Commission into consideration.

This first attempt to combine the literature on “The Europe of the Regions” and on multi-level governance with policy analysis will be illuminating for scholars and practitioners interested in the federalism, nationalist parties, and the EU decision-making process as well as for those concerned with Europeanization.
