Summary

The regions have a role to play when articulating new public governing, particularly any regions that have constitutional status. We are witnesses of the transformation that states are undergoing caused by the profound technological, social and cultural changes in the world today. We will take the European Union regions phenomenon as a basis in the search for effective governing favouring democracy. There is room to create a new institutional level, starting with the associated/united region formula proposed by the Basque MEP Alain Lamassoure when preparing for the Convention for the future of Europe and thanks also to the evolution of the Luxemburg Court of Justice jurisprudence.
