Více o knize

Exploring the interplay between regional autonomy and policy convergence, the book examines how regional governments in Europe navigate sector-specific norms while striving for policy similarity. It highlights cases where cultural or historical distinctiveness is minimal, revealing that regional authorities often adopt norms of territorial equality to enhance their policy capacity in response to central state pressures. The analysis includes a detailed comparative study of educational policymaking in Germany, shedding light on the complexities of regional policymaking dynamics.
