The International Relations of Local Authorities : From Institutional Twinning to the Committee of the Regions: Fifty Years of European Integration History Paperback / softback
by Fabio Zucca
Part of the Euroclio series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book examines the innovative and supportive role that the Council of European Municipalities and Regions has played in the process of European integration, focusing on the idea of a federal state centred on municipalities, the basis of Western democracy. The author’s analysis considers the twinning of cities within Europe to be a political action that will lead to a Europe for its citizens.
He argues that the global financial crisis could lead to the break-up of the European unification process and that the way to deal with this challenge is to give local authorities greater involvement in decision-making processes. The book is the result of research in little known and rarely consulted archives and brings significant new information into the academic sphere.
This focus on the local level is increasingly relevant, offering new perspectives on current issues within European integration and explaining the dynamics of a process still under way.
