This article applies a constitutional lens to the multi-level governance concept as developed in the literature of political science. The approach of this article is twofold: the first part covers the semantics, and tries to disentangle multi-level governance from federalism. I contend that multi-level governance is a better framework to descriptively capture current real-world governance, and is comparatively more suitable than federalism. However, despite the descriptive strength of the theory of multi-level governance, its normative dimension is found wanting. Therefore, the second part addresses constitutional concerns in the multi-level governance debate. A specific analysis of the values and safeguards, the formalization and proceduralization, and the justiciability of multi-level governance traits is made in order to compose a constitutional perspective. This lays down a foundation for the in-depth enquiries of the following articles of this special issue.

"This book takes stock after a year of application of the SRM and examines the situation from various perspectives: the perspective of the SRB, the NRA, the supervised bank and judicial protection. Special attention is given to the division of power between the SRB and the NRA and the impact on the supervised bank, the relationship and links between the SRM and the SSM and the query whether the right balance between national and supranational powers has been struck, also in view of the principle of subsidiarity"--Back cover

Abstract
The question at hand is located at the intersection of EU law and national constitutional law, and aims to answer the following problem: namely, how to mitigate federal concerns in the context of infringement procedures and financial sanctions under art. 260 TFEU. This article approaches this question both from the perspective of the Commission and the Court of Justice, as well as from the vantage point of the central and regional governments involved. After analysing the composition of the financial sanctions, we cover the involvement of subnational entities in the infringements proceedings in six tiered Member States (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) and the relevant national provisions for the partition of financial sanctions. The conclusions pertain to both the central and regional level and the EU institutions concerned, adhering to the multi-level relationship subjacent to this article.
