SummaryPolitical systems across Europe and beyond have been reshaped by federalising, regionalising and devolution reforms since the 1960s. These reforms challenge the processes of state formation and nation-building that culminated in the democratic nation-states that were consolidated after World War II. Comparative Territorial Politics explores this territorial challenge across a range of topics. These include multi-level governance, territorial finance, multi-level parties and electoral competition, nationalism and constitutional politics, and multi-level policy challenges.
