ABSTRACT
Addressing regional accountability and executive power in Europe, the REGALIEN Project has focused on notions that are familiar to every legal scholar, as well as to every actor of public life, be it at the local, national, supranational or international levels. Responsibility truly appears as a building block of contemporary constitutional theory. Bearing witness to the diffraction of the theme, this book provides a mapping of existing situations, identifies evolving patterns, highlights practical transfers and interactions, and describes part of the doctrinal puzzlements that ensue. It especially sheds light on the multiplicity of stakeholders that are in fact involved in a widely interactive institutional intellectual process. A truly interdisciplinary approach combining a multiplicity of academic approaches and a wide variety of practical experiences contributes to a kaleidoscopic exploration of the topic.
