Regional and Federal Studies Blog

This blog is dedicated to exploring Regional and Federal Studies, a leading journal on federalism, regionalism, and territorial politics. We share highlights from the journal’s articles, discuss major themes such as decentralisation, multi-level governance, and minority nationalism, and reflect on how the journal has evolved since its founding in 1991.

Our aim is to make the journal’s research more approachable by summarising key insights, providing context, and sparking discussion about how issues of divided political authority affect societies around the world. Whether you are a student, researcher, policymaker, or simply curious about how power is shared across regions and levels of government, this blog is your guide to the conversations happening in Regional and Federal Studies.
