This volume provides a unique open inter-disciplinary dialogue
across the Humanities and Social Sciences to further our
understanding of the phenomenon of regions and regionalism in a
globalized world both at the theoretical and empirical levels. What
comprises a region? What are the different regional dynamic
processes that take place? What is the relationship between the
regional and the global? What role does identity building play?
Bringing together scholars from various disciplines within and
across the Social Sciences and the Humanities to reflect on these
questions, the book explores how regions are imagined, constructed,
understood, and explained in different academic disciplines. Each
chapter addresses these common questions and uses its own
disciplinary lenses to answer them. In addition, the volume offers
interesting reflections on the academic borders constructed in the
study of regions, thus demonstrating the importance of obtaining
insights from both social scientists and humanities scholars in
order to better understand the relevance of regions in a complex
and globalized world. An important work for scholars and
postgraduate students in many fields, including political science,
international relations, sociology, economics, geography, history
and literature, as well as for those interested in regionalism and
area studies.
