EU in local politics – a study of agendas from municipalities, county councils and regions

This folder is a summary of a report written for SALAR in 2010 by a political scientist from Lund University. The report examines the influence of the European Union on Swedish municipalities, county councils and regions. It provides a quantitative estimate of the number of political issues dealt with on local and regional level, which are affected by the EU. It also describes more closely the main areas influenced by the EU.
