“…Meanwhile, empirically regions are playing an increasingly important role on the international stage. Considering the findings of authors researching multilevel governance (Tatham, 2015;Pazos-Vidal, 2020), regions and cities exert their influence in several different ways. Tatham (2018) indicates that sub-state actors can influence, in particular, the EU through use of three tools: lobbying, formal powers, or veto rights 1 .…”

“…The role of sub-state entities in Europe, particularly regions, has grown over time (Marks, Hooghe and Schakel 2010). Today, central governments and the EU must increasingly accommodate sub-state actors throughout the policy cycle, from policy initiation to decision-making and implementation (Tatham 2018;Pazos-Vidal 2020;Abels and Hogenauer 2020). The decentralisation of some nation states' competencies following their centralisation at the EU level is perceived as the main driver of this trend.…”

Paradiplomacy and its Impact on EU Foreign Policy

Cities and regions play an increasingly vital role in international relations, even co-shaping their countries’ foreign policy. This phenomenon, usually called ‘paradiplomacy’, means that cities and regions develop links with foreign actors, both state and non-state. In this way, they contribute to the ‘pluralisation’ of diplomacy and are changing the shape of contemporary relations on the global stage. This process is also happening with regard to the international activities undertaken by the European Union (EU); yet the paradiplomacy trend is also only partially realised at the EU level. In this context, this article aims to conceptualise the impact that the paradiplomacy of European sub-state actors has on EU foreign policy. So far, it has not been adequately recognised in the academic literature as a potential factor influencing EU foreign affairs. In addition, the article analyses how cities and regions can influence the development of EU foreign policy and how the Union can use this potential for international activity on the part of local actors. The article has two parts. In the first part, we present three ways cities and regions can influence EU foreign policy. By giving specific examples, we show that cities and regions are already using their authority to: i) lobby and create networking communities, ii) use formal powers, and iii) apply direct actions. In the second part, we set out the opportunities and challenges that arise from the paradiplomatic activities of sub-state actors. To elucidate the issues, we consider the case of contemporary relations between the EU and China, which are becoming more intense at local government level but which are not used by Brussels to pursue EU interests.

“…An example is the EU Urban Agenda (European Union, 2016) with 12 informal, voluntary partnerships of EU, national, and city officials to assess the appropriateness of existing policies for urban areas. According to Pazos-Vidal (2019), this was about EU and Member States mobilizing "with" and "for" subnational government rather than "by" urban authorities. He argued that it was a case of policy fragmentation because this exercise of subnational better regulation was not structurally integrated in the wider Better Regulation process of the European Commission.…”

This book is a fresh, timely and thought-provoking analysis of this challenging dimension, in particular the policy and institutional innovations required. It is a very welcome and valuable resource." Ambassador David Donoghue, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the UN 2013-2017 and co-facilitator of the UN negotiations on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development "The book provides an excellent analysis of governance mechanisms and policy processes that effectively promote sustainable development. This is extremely important for advancing action on the SDGs, despite the Covid-19 pandemic and increasing pressures of climate change." Prof. Dr. Imme Scholz, Co-Chair of the UN Independent Group of Scientists for the Global Sustainable Development Report 2023 and Co-Chair of the German Sustainability Council (RNE) "This book helps to deepen our understanding of the governance and policy innovations that are needed to support policy coherence across sectors and actors at different levels to deliver on Agenda 2030." Alina Rocha Menocal, Principal Research Fellow at the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Director of the global Thinking and Working Community of Practice (TWP CoP) GOVERNING THE INTERLINKAGES BETWEEN THE SDGSGoverning the Interlinkages between the SDGs: Approaches, Opportunities and Challenges identifies the institutional processes, governance mechanisms and policy mixes that are conducive to devising strategies of integrated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation.The book edited by Anita Breuer, Daniele Malerba, Srinivasa Srigiri, and Pooja Balasu bramanian examines the dedicated policies targeting the SDGs, as well as political and institutional drivers of synergies and trade-offs between the SDGs in selected key areasboth cross-nationally and in specific country contexts. Their analysis moves beyond the focus on links between SDG indicators and targets. Instead, the book takes advantage of recent evidence from the initial imple mentation phase of the SDGs and each chapter explores the question of which political-institutional prerequisites, governance mechanisms, and policy instruments are suited to accelerate the imple mentation of the SDGs. The findings presented are intended to both inform high-level policy debates and to provide orientation for practitioners working on development cooperation. This volume will be of great interest to practitioners and policy makers in the field of sustainable development, as well as academics in the fields of sustainability research, political science, and economics.Anita Breuer is a senior researcher at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), leading the inter-disciplinary research project "Implementing the 2030 Agenda: Inte grating Growth, Environment, Equality and Governance".

“…Serafín Pazos Vidal solicitaba o goberno. 42 Pola contra, os anexos do Plan indican que a inmensa maioría de Investimentos abertos á participación das EELL serán en concorrencia competitiva a nivel estatal, o cal supón unha desvantaxe a aqueles concellos e deputacións que teñan menos recursos de xestión ou proxectos menos maduros dispoñibles no breve prazo (tres anos, con convocatorias anuais) dispoñible.…”

“…Partindo da gobernanza multinivel, como elemento definitorio da Política Rexional da UE e de onde de feito xurdiu este concepto,9 neste artigo contrastarémola coa gobernanza territorial do MRR e en concreto no caso español, o Plan de Recuperación, Transformación e Resiliencia ("Plan España Puede"). O Regulamento (UE) 2021/241 do Parlamento Europeo e do Consello do 12 de febreiro de 2021 polo que se establece o MMR ten como base legal o art.…”

O Plan “España Puede” e a gobernanza territorial

O Plan de Recuperación, Transformación e Resiliencia “España Puede” busca gastar ata 70.000 millóns en subvencións ata 2026 do novo fondo “Next Generation EU”. A súa xestación ata a súa presentación á Comisión a finais de abril de 2021 xerou unhas enormes expectativas sobre o seu potencial como instrumento anticrise e para afrontar as reformas estruturais pendentes pero tamén controversias sobre a súa posible xestión territorial. O Mecanismo de Recuperación e Resiliencia tende a unha xestión centralizada para facer investimentos non moi diferentes aos dos fondos tradicionais, o que supón unha crítica conceptual á Política Rexional da UE. Neste artigo faise unha primeira aproximación aos 110 Investimentos do “Plan España Puede” e ás súas consecuencias para a gobernanza territorial española.
