As we move further into the 21st century, the prominence of regions
can no longer be taken for granted. A certain skepticism has
developed with regard to the feasibility of marginal regions
achieving self-sustained growth and states have maintained their
role as regulators of economic and social activities. Thus, the
notion of the region and its significance is currently much debated
and contested. Illustrated with a wide range of European case
studies, this volume brings together the main strands of these
contestations, as economic, political and social actors attempt to
institutionalise their vision of their region as the dominant form
of territorial governance. It questions both the external
delimitation and the internal constitution of regions and
critically analyses the societal processes circumscribing ways in
which regions are created, maintained and undermined. The volume
provides a wide range of analytical perspectives to enable an
understanding of the current mosaic of regionalism in Europe.
