Zgromadzenie Regionów Europejskich jako grupa interesów regionalnych jednostek terytorialnych
Assembly of European Regions as a group of interests of regional territorial units

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse activities of the Assembly of European Regions (AER) as an international interest group of sub-national territorial units at the regional level in Europe. The articlepresents the genesis of the Assembly, the evolution of its membership, as well as the tools and thechannels of lobbying used. The text positively verifies the hypothesis that expansion of the Assembly on administrative regions from Central and Eastern Europe caused that strong political regionsfrom Western Europe lost theirs interests in participating in AER’s works which, in turn, weakenedthe AER’s influence in Europe.
