The Master seminar discusses theoretically and empirically the role, agency, competences and different ways of how regions and local actors are interwoven within the EU multilevel polity and governance. The political and administrative cooperation in Europe will be assessed by focusing on the interaction of different levels (supranational, national/ intergovernmental, regional, local) with regard to actor interaction, networking, governance and/or cooperation in the EU with its regions and municipalities. The seminar is built on paper readings and discussions, input presentations by the lecturer and the students and excursions.
