Abstract(s)
In a “post-state” era, sub-state political communities face new
challenges. Modern constitutionalism resorted to various political and
territorial forms to ensure the autonomy of certain social communities;
in many cases, uniting different nations under the same State. But
the integration of States into transnational political communities had
profound implications on the sub-state levels of government. In the
European context, it is now widely recognized that the process of
integration unleashed centripetal forces.
This article revisits the effects of European integration in the internal
distribution of powers and examines the novelties introduced by the
Lisbon Treaty regarding the position, the powers, and the rights of substate
communities in EU Law.
