The challenges of New Regionalism: Towards modern community and territory

Summary/Abstract: The paper contains ascertainments that changes taking place in the structure of modern territory and transformations in modern society are/or will be still determined by the processes of transfer of technologies and innovations; diffusion of creativity and differential development of civilizations. Indigenization of globalization (which the author interprets as glocalization) represents a shift from a more territorialized learning process bound up with the nation-state society to one more fluid and translocal. New Regionalism as a paradigm for regional development emphasizes smart; inclusive and sustainable economies. In particular; the author presents a framework for analysing New Regionalism which should include determinants such as innovative capacity; creativity; networks; high level of social capital and the role of civilization in developing regional economic resilience.
