Abstract
The Europeanization of regional governance has long been addressed from the sole perspective of the regional policy of the EU, hence almost exclusively from a top-down perspective. Limited attention was paid to the different types of regions involved, especially those emerging regions with a legislative capacity (Carter and Pasquier, 2006). Meanwhile, attempts to capture the complexity of domestic change as a consequence of Europeanization processes have focussed mainly on the state level. Putting forward the EU adaptation pressure as one of the main impetuses for changes to policy and legislation often led to neglecting the role of subnational domestic agents and institutions.
