Abstract
The United Kingdom has a particular administrative division that is radically different from other European countries, where there are regions or Landers and then other sub regional entities under the state. The United Kingdom is constituted of four nations, like its official name suggests. These are: United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland. Due to this division, the European integration did not affect and still does not affect the country in the same way as its partner since the entry of the UK in this supranational process. We will see in this essay, what are the major influences that increasing European integration has had and is having on movements towards "regional" government within the United Kingdom. In order to do so, we will tackle different aspects such as politics, the economy and the society.
