Abstract
The proposed state-region co-constitution model aids in understanding post-Soviet regional governance and its morphogenesis. The Conclusions summarise the replies provided for the original research questions, i.e., why regional organisations in the former Soviet space proliferate and why references to the regionals appears to be a recurrent, enduring feature in both post-Soviet politics and elites’ discourses and narratives, in spite of dysfunctional/ineffective regional organisations and the repeated failure of regionalist projects.
