A Paradiplomacia en Europa

“A Paradiplomacia en Europa – Os casos de Galiza, Aland, Flandres e Grenlandia” is the Galician version of the book Paradiplomacy in Europe.

In recent decades, and as a result of a phenomenon accelerated by globalisation, the external action of the regions and cities, the traditional role of states in international relations becomes challenged and more complex. 

In Europe, this change can be observed very clearly, especially in those regions with distinct national traits like Bavaria or Scotland.

This research and dissemination project aims to put in a comparative framework the case of Galicia, as an Autonomous Community with historical nationality character in the Spanish State, with the regional paradiplomacy of Flanders (Belgium), the Aland Islands (Finland) and Greenland (Denmark).

The goal of this work is to provide a European and community view. Firstly, taking into account the raise and fall of the notion of the Europe of Regions within the historical process of European integration. Secondly, considering new challenges and opportunities for the representation of regional and local authorities at a European and global scale in a post-Covid world.
