Regional Politics of EU and Cultural and Linguistic Problems of European Regions

在对欧盟及其地区政治的研究中，我们首先确认了欧盟成员国的地区一体化趋势，并解释了这种趋势与欧盟地区政治的关系。我们的研究领域是以下8个地区：英格兰、威尔士、瓦隆（比利时）、不列颠（法国）、阿尔萨斯（法国）、科西嘉（法国）、卡塔卢尼亚（西班牙）、南蒂罗尔（意大利）。此外，我们还考虑了新文化活动频繁的城市化地区--法兰西第二大区（IIe de France）。作为研究结果，我们可以指出以下事实和趋势。1）由于欧盟的政治有利于地区发展，近年来欧盟成员国推进了政治和行政分权。典型的例子是英国。2）在某些领土和语言冲突激烈的地区，（例如南蒂罗尔），各国人民的和平共处是通过“欧元区”的建设和欧盟的其他政治来保证的。欧盟有利于少数民族文化的政策鼓励在某些地区表达适当的身份和使用适当的语言。特别是在威尔士和布列塔尼，他们的母语在教育、大众传媒甚至经济活动中被激活。4）在欧洲一些移民和其他少数民族人口集中的大城市地区，发展了新的由年轻人承担的多元文化艺术活动。这也将标志着欧洲另一种区域文化的诞生。

In our studies on EU and its regional politics, we confirmed, first of all, the autonomization of regions in EU member states and explained how this tendency relates to the regional politics of EU. And we investigated how these autonomized regions advanced their politics of development, and how, as conditions of regional development, the culture and the identity of people cooperated with it. The fields of our research were following 8 regions : England, Wales, Wallony, (Belgium), Britany(France), Alsace(France), Corsica(France), Catalunya(Spain), South Tyrol(Italy). In addition to these, we took into consideration an urbanized region, IIe de France, where the new cultural activities are observed.As results of our research, we can point out the following facts and tendencies.1) Owing to the EU's politics favorable to the regional development, the political and administrative decentralization was advanced in recent years in EU member states : typical case is the UK.EU's politics for the promotion of minority cultures encouraged much2) In certain regions where the territorial and linguistic conflicts had been fierce(e.g. South Tyrol), pacific coexistence of peoples was secured by the construction of "Euro-region" and by other politics of EU.3) The EU s politics favorable to the minority culture encourages much the expression of proper identity and the use of proper languages in certain regions. It is especially in Wales and Brittany that their proper languages are activated in education, mass media and even in economic activities4) In certain big urban areas in Europe where is concentrated the immigrants' and other minorities' population, developed new multicultural artistic activities beared by youth. This would also mark the birth of another regional culture in Europe.
