Devolution of powers and functions from national to regional level has been a\udcommon experience internationally in recent times. A range of possible driving\udforces underpinning this trend are reviewed. The city-region has become a favoured\udspatial unit for organising direct regional participation in global markets. New governance\udstructures are being forged for mobilising joint cross-communuty action in\udpursuit of broad regional objectives. A range of influences can shape the configuration\udof these structures, giving rise to a varied geography of regional governance\udarrangements. This paper focuses on the dysfunctional governance structures which\udhave inhibited the implementation of the National Spatial Strategy, introduced by\udthe Irish government in 2002 with the objective of achieving balanced regional development\udthrough the creation of a polycentric system of city-regions. These structures\udare described and their origins attributed to features of the Irish system of\udgovernment which favour administrative centralisation over devolution
