Abstract

Subnational governments are generally underestimated as levels of government in the European context. There are almost 100,000 democratically elected units of local and regional selfgovernment in the EU; not only do these units serve important functions in the everyday life of European citizens, but they also play a key role in the implementation and legitimation of national and European policies. Local and regional governments are the units of democracy closest to the people.
