Abstract [en]

Almost all of the regions and municipalities in the EU are represented by a regional representative office in Brussels and their purpose and mission with offices differs from each other. Previous research has focused on the larger more powerful regional representative offices and omits the smaller ones. This thesis aims to get a larger understanding of the regional representative's role in the EU. This thesis studies the Stockholm Regional EU Office and the North Sweden European Office within three different dimensions, at the EU level (Upload), at the regional/local level (Download) and the connection between these two levels (Crossload). The results of the thesis are based on interviews with representatives of the offices and the offices annual reports. This thesis has identified implications the regional representation offices are contributing of heading to a new form of governance, with offices' aim of influencing EU policies.
