“…Often, success of a specifi c substate actor is determined by how proactive it is in its approach, and by its own decision to actively campaign for its interests regarding individual European policies (comp. Callanan and Tatham, 2014).…”

Over the past two decades, the concept of multi-level governance (MLG) has been increasingly discussed by scholars in the fi eld of European integration. While Gary Marks wrote about a four-level arrangement (supranational, national, regional, and local), over time the regional and local levels often became lumped together as 'substate actors' and so easily conceptually interchangeable. This text, however, shows the fallaciousness of this reasoning. In certain circumstances we can fi nd a competitive relationship between cities and regions, positioning themselves against each other for resources and access to national and supranational fora, especially in the context of the new regionalism. The cities have been given substantial support from the European Commission in recent years and we argue that this new constellation may have a remarkable infl uence on relations and possibly also lead to confl icts among local and regional actors in EU multi-level governance. This was possible to be clearly seen in the Czech Republic (CR) between 2012 and 2014, when heated negotiations took place regarding the implementation of the Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI), a fi nancial instrument of EU Cohesion Policy which was implemented on the substate level -i.e., in cities and regions. In the CR this competition took place in a specifi c context, which also infl uenced its outcome.

“…The use of the expression 'substate' can, in some specifi c cases, create the impression that there exists a coherent group of actors (comp. Callanan and Tatham, 2014) with more or less similar interests and behavior, which is not necessarily the case. This 'substate' term derives from the three-level concept of policymaking.…”

“…Verdere verdiepingsslagen zijn wel gemaakt als het gaat om de wijze waarop regio's zich organiseren in Brussel en welke kanalen zij daarbij benutten om hun belangen voor het voetlicht te brengen. Callanan & Tatham (2013) concluderen bijvoorbeeld dat 'sterke' regio's die wetgevende bevoegdheden hebben, geneigd zijn hun invloedslijnen uit te zetten via de nationale overheid. Het passeren van de nationale overheid is daarbij alleen in beeld als terugvaloptie.…”

“…Als het gaat om de wijze waarop provincies hun beïnvloeding organiseren is er beduidend minder onderzoek voorhanden. Een aantal studies gaat wel dieper in op de specifieke rol van regio's en de kanalen die zij gebruiken om invloed uit te oefenen, bijvoorbeeld : Callanan & Tatham (2013), Donas & Beyers (2012), Haverland & Liefferink (2012), Breuer (2011), Marks, Haesly, & Mbaye (2010), Richardson (2006), Rooij (2003), Schobben (2000), Hoetjes (2000), Jones & Keating (1995), Toonen, Raadschelders, & Hendriks (1992) en Toonen & Hesse (1991). Deze studies blijven echter algemeen van aard.…”

“…The impact of regional players on EU decision-making has become a more prominent topic in the last decade, for example : Callanan & Tatham (2013), Donas & Beyers (2012), Haverland & Liefferink (2012), Breuer (2011), Marks, Haesly, & Mbaye (2010, Richardson (2006), Rooij (2003), Schobben (2000), Hoetjes (2000), Jones & Keating (1995), Toonen, Raadschelders, & Hendriks (1992) en Toonen & Hesse (1991). But the research remains general in its nature.…”
