Regionalism is one of the most debated issues in contemporary
western Europe. Yet why the region, rather than the nation state,
can have such a strong appeal for the construction of social and
political identity remains largely unexplored. Drawing on data
collected in the mountainous Trentino region of northern Italy, the
author investigates how ideas about village boundaries and private
property form the background against which regionalist ideologies
are understood. In suggesting that ideas about regionalism largely
reflect views about private property, he provides an alternative to
theories of nationalism that overlook the articulation between
official ideologies and discourses at the local level.
