Description: 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 institutionalize their vision of their region as the dominant form of territorial governance.
Review Quotes: '...this is a useful volume reflecting solid research into the emergence, reproduction and contestation of regional spaces in 21st century Europe...it should prove a useful volume whether read in its entirety or dipped into in order to explore particular cases.'
