  • More about Subnational Authorities and the European Union: Compliance in a Multilevel Implementation System

The European Union relies on legal compliance with its policies, and strong shared rule between national and subnational authorities can improve national compliance records. Policy sectors with strong redistributive consequences impair subnational authorities' capacity to comply.

The European Union, as a regulatory polity built on integration through law, stands out as a system that arguably places greater emphasis on legal compliance with its policies than any other political framework. Building upon this foundation, this book delves into the role of subnational governments in ensuring policy compliance. By examining a dataset of infringement proceedings against federal and regionalized member states, the book demonstrates that robust shared rule, characterized by strong cooperation between national and subnational authorities, can enhance national compliance records. Conversely, policy sectors with significant redistributive consequences hinder subnational authorities' ability to comply. In essence, policy and politics hold greater significance than the mere structure of the polity itself.

The European Union, as a regulatory polity based on integration through law, relies more on legal compliance with its policies than any other political system.

This book focuses on the subnational tier and scrutinizes its role in ensuring compliance.

Drawing on a dataset of infringement proceedings against federal and regionalized member states, the book shows that strong shared rule, i.e., strong cooperation between national and subnational authorities, can improve national compliance records.

In contrast, policy sectors with strong redistributive consequences impair subnational authorities' capacity to comply.

In short, policy and politics matter more than polity.
