Depending on its privileged geographic scale, the region makes reference to local logic or to global logic in fine meshes of space or in continental systems. These are two questions to which any regionalist, as a careful observer of the spectacle on Earth, can only answer in the negative. New cases of regionalism, which often have nothing to do with the old demons of ethnic purity, emerge from the ashes of nations in decline with their cultural, economic and territorial aspirations. When nations do remain strong, regionalization movements reconstruct the territories in a new administrative order. Regionalism expresses a process of consciousness of identity and facilitates spatial practices in a defined framework.
All spatial domination has an economic dimension.
History clearly shows how, after a period of force, the expansion of regions and nations, subtly takes place as a result of economic domination. Figuring among these portions of environment are the regions, defined as a natural area, an existential space and an organized space. According to the second, it reveals cultural identity and belonging to a piece of acquired land. Regional organization translates distribution logic, localization logic and the logic of the powers that be into a geo-political context. To discuss the regional concept we must understand this triple aspect that makes each one an original space-product with its physical traits and its cultural, social, economic and political milieu.
