Abstracts

The Politics of the Third Level

Udo Bullmann

This contribution presents an overview of the politics of the Third Level, that of sub-national government, in the EU. It presents a typology of the diverse structures of sub-national government in the EU and accounts for the growing importance of the Third Level in terms of a complex interaction of 'top-down' factors, where sub-national government has in some sense been empowered by changes in the international economy and processes of economic modernization, and 'bottom-up' factors, where sub-national demands for greater decision-making powers have, at least in part, been met. An assessment of the significance of these top-down and bottom-up processes for ELF decision-making follows, which concludes cautiously by stressing how the internal structures of the member states still condition sub-national capacities to make a mark in Europe and limit the wider significance of the Third Level.
