Analysis of the State of Play of Multi-Level and Multi-Factor Governance in the Adriatic-Ionian Region

This research aims at assessing the state of play of regional integration and multi-level governance in the Adriatic-Ionian region (AIR). More specifically, it provides a theory- framed evaluation of the added value, structural limits, and medium-to-long term challenges of regional cooperation in the AIR, vis-à-vis the area’s socio-political dynamics. The analysis focuses on the eight countries participating in the European Union Strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian Region (EUSAIR): Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.
