The project examines the implications of the new regionalism for regional and local governance
and explores how the establishment of new metropolitan regions affects the sharing of power
between politicians and civil servants. Its main aim is to shad light on who controls the newly
emerging regions and how. Based on a mixed-methodological approach, the project examines
how communication between civil servants and elected representatives works and whether the
new governance models lead to improved cooperation or, conversely, to tensions in intermunicipal cooperation. The theoretical ambition of the project is to bring conceptual innovation to the field of multilevel governance and to contribute to the debate on multilevel administration (MLA).
