  2. Regionalisation: West-East of Europe West • Waves of regionalisation • Late 1960-1970 • 1980-1990 • From administrative to political regionalization • Third waveon the horizon? • Independence referendums (Scotland, Catalonia) • Others? East • 1990’s – dissolution of complex states • SSSR • Czechoslovakia • SFRY • Size matters • Weak regional forces on sub-federal level • Administrative regionalization • Nation/state building

  3. Former Yugoslavia

  4. Points for reflection • Again: size matters when talking about regional self-government in former YU territory! • Weak democratic potential for establishment of strong regional institutions • Statistical and administrative instead of political regionalization • Political regionalization is still very much perceived as a threat to national sovereignty • Regionalization is very much perceived as a precondition for utilisation of EU cohesion policy • Regional issues are on the agenda in some countries of the region • Some of the countries have significant ethnic groups on their territory and regionalization should be considered as practical solution for loosening potential political tensions
