REGIONAL LOBBYING IN THE EU : A comparative case study of regional representative offices / Regional lobbying i EU: : En jämförande fallstudie av regionala representations kontor

Skoglöf, Stina January 2024 (has links)
Almost all of the regions and municipalities in the EU are represented by a regional representative office in Brussels and their purpose and mission with offices differs from each other. Previous research has focused on the larger more powerful regional representative offices and omits the smaller ones. This thesis aims to get a larger understanding of the regional representative's role in the EU. This thesis studies the Stockholm Regional EU Office and the North Sweden European Office within three different dimensions, at the EU level (Upload), at the regional/local level (Download) and the connection between these two levels (Crossload). The results of the thesis are based on interviews with representatives of the offices and the offices annual reports. This thesis has identified implications the regional representation offices are contributing of heading to a new form of governance, with offices' aim of influencing EU policies.

De regionala framgångskriterierna i Bryssel : En kartläggning och analys av svenska subnationella aktörers EU-arbete och deras olika typer av organisering / The regional keys to success in Brussels : Unpacking Swedish subnational actors’ approach to EU and their different forms of organisation

Ericsson, Rickard January 2023 (has links)
Up until today, nearly all Swedish regions have decided to set up an EU office in Brussels. However, earlier research on the subject shows that there are big differences concerning what the regions are trying to achieve with their EU office. The aim for this study was therefore to analyse Swedish subnational actors’ EU work within three different arenas and dimensions: at the Brussel arena (upload), at home ground (download) and lastly, the coordination between these two arenas (crossload). To achieve this, an extensively material on the subject was gathered by interviewing key persons from both Brussels and the subnational actors’ home organizations. In order to analyse the material, the theoretical framework multi-level governance was put into practice. The theoretical framework offered a definition on how the regions interact within the EU, and it also provided the framework for the analyses.  The study was able to unpack three Swedish subnational actors’ EU approaches and their different forms of organization regarding their work with EU. In addition, the study could for each explored arena set up a collection of criteria’s that Swedish subnational actors must achieve in order to succeed with their strategic work with EU. Those criteria’s, with numerous important subheadings, were categorised as effectiveness, legitimacy, and strategical selection.
