在许多欧洲国家，出现了区域或中间一级的政府，承担着重大的政策责任。有人认为，社会和经济利益的代表性并没有随之而来，因此政策社区仍然是全州范围内的，给出了“没有地区主义的地区”。这项研究的利益集团在六个欧洲国家审查他们的适应权力下放，重点是组织，认知变化和关系。它发现，利益代表已经区域化，但它是不平衡的，取决于地方政府的力量，领土身份和社会行为者的利益。企业、工会、农民组织和环保团体都在区域问题上受到相互压力。在某些情况下，该区域正在成为利益中介的场所。一些地区正在出现领土政策社区，但在大多数情况下，这些社区是对全州政策社区的补充，而不是取代。
In many European countries a regional or meso level of government has emerged, with significant policy responsibilities. It has been suggested that the representation of social and economic interests has not followed, so that policy communities remain state‐wide, giving ‘regions without regionalism’. This study of interest groups in six European states examines their adaptation to devolution, focusing on organisation, cognitive change and relationships. It finds there has been a regionalisation of interest representation, but it is uneven, depending on the strength of regional government, territorial identities and the interests of social actors. Business, trades unions, farmer organisations and environmental groups are all cross‐pressured on the regional question. The region is emerging in some cases as a site of interest intermediation. Territorial policy communities are emerging in some regions, but in most cases these supplement, rather than replace, state‐wide policy communities.
