Abstract
ABSTRACT In May 2019, regional elections were held in Greece, simultaneously with municipal and European elections. The regional elections were placed right at the end of the national electoral cycle and national elections were planned to be held four months later. In general, the institutional and structural setting was favouring a nationalized, second-order character of the 2019 regional elections. Nevertheless, most of the patterns identified in the election outcomes point towards regionalization rather than nationalization. Hence, the 2019 regional elections in Greece were both regionalized and nationalized.
期刊介绍：
The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
