The processes of federalisation, regionalisation and decentralisation in the member states of the EU and the candidate countries have noticeably gained dynamics. Even in the Federal Republic of Germany, a broad reform of the federal state is being discussed. Questions of territorial organisation gain more and more importance in Europe and the EU.
The Yearbook gives readers from politics, administration, research and teachings, as well as politically interested people, a broad view on current developments in science and political practice. The contributions of the fourth volume pick up current research-questions and deal with central issues of the German discussion (e.g. national standards for education, the role of the Landkreise).The country reports cover developments in the EU member states, as well as Switzerland, Poland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Canada. Several contributions deal with forms of regional cooperation in Europe and developments in the EU, especially the ongoing reform-process (European Convention). The articles are complemented by a selected bibliography and an overview of addresses on the internet.
44 experts from science and administration have drafted 34 contributions for the yearbook.
