“…Integration has also led to regions developing their own foreign policy competences, and has allowed them to increase their political legitimacy by behaving like states on the world stage (Keating 1993;Dieringer 2010).

In fact, regional secession movements often view the EU as an attractive, viable alternative to the nation-state (Bookman 1993;van Houten 2003;Jolly 2015).…”

The literature on the relationship between European Union (EU) integration and regional power has produced two opposing theoretical models. Depending on the model, EU integration leads to either an increase or decrease in regional power. Evidence for both, however, has been largely inconclusive, and mostly derived from qualitative case studies.This paper, on the other hand, offers a quantitative, large-N analysis, using data from fiftysix countries between 1960 and 2010. Its random effects model shows that EU membership considerably increases regional authority within member states over time; and its comparison with another international organization suggests that the effect is not idiosyncratic.Additionally, this paper finds support for two possible mechanisms: the establishment of the subsidiarity principle, and the Commission's requirement to create regional government structures.
