Description:
This article examines some theoretical issues of participation of regions of the country in international relations and global interaction. At the same time, the European Union is taken as a global and fundamental structure within which both the formation of new regionalism and the transformation of regions into subnational actors of world politics occur.The article notes both the positive aspects of involving regions of the country
in international cooperation as actors and subjects, and some negative consequences that may occur when regions are granted subjective powers.
