The Role of the EU in Local and Regional Government

Emil Kirchner

Chapter 11 in Decentralization and Transition in the Visegrad, 1999, pp 208-222 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Domestic factors are usually linked with local and regional government activities and reforms.1 However, external factors do condition such activities and reforms, especially in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Cross-border cooperation, economic inter-dependence, EU policies and globalization affect both the degree of control central governments can exercise over sub-national units, and conversely the degree of autonomy these units can acquire. In some instances external influence is enhancing the autonomy of local and regional governments, while in others the reverse is happening, as, for example, with regard to EMU, which will give central governments or central banks a degree of influence.
