Abstract
AbstractThe impact of European integration on the governance of EU Member States bas received growing attention in recent years. In analysing the Europeanization of national political systems, intergovernmental relations are of special significance, particularly in strongly decentralized or federalized polities. Focusing on Germany, it can be shown that European integration has had a major impact on Federd‐Länder and inter‐Länder relations. However, rather than challenge established features of the intergovernmental system, European integration has tended to affirm, if not reinforce, key structural principles of German federalism. Europeanization is not, therefore, necessarily equivalent to the transformation of national systems of governance.
