| description | The regions’ issue is recent in Europe on a historical scale. Most EU States created regions in the second half of the 20th century, but they used different models. Regional boundaries have been drawn using three main methods. The level of regions’ competences varies also greatly, from federal States to less decentralized States. Similarly, the area and the population of regions are very different from one country to another and within countries. Despite this diversity, this paper proposes a reflection to put in place a classification of European Union countries, according to their regional realities. |
