Regionalism, Multi-tier Governance and Conflict Resolution
نویسنده
چکیده
The stabilisation through regional and multilateral cooperation within the framework of the European Union is the topic today. These terms are all part of standard political discourse in South East Europe, often accompanied by description of abundant initiatives by various regional or multilateral organisations. What is more often lacking is an explicit idea about how these institutional initiatives are supposed to achieve the objective of stabilisation after a prior period or even long history of regional conflict. The present paper addresses this question, drawing attention to some unconventional developments in multitier government structures relevantfor post-conflict situations. It also explores a new European regional concept, that of the Wider Europe, which is now much discussed by the EU and its neighbours.

This paper, from the perspective of New Regionalism, argues that the emergence of informal networks of governance, made all the more powerful because of globalisation, play a major part in the strengthening of democratic mores in the region. It looks at an e...
