Regionalism What makes a region?

Learning Objectives To explain different views on what makes a region To judge whether regional identities are real or imagined, natural or imposed

What makes a region?

Geography Regions may form a distinctive geographical area Can be identified by consulting maps Leads to tendency to identify regions with continents Examples?Weaknesses?

Socio-cultural Regions can be based on similarities of religion, language, history or ideological belief A region may even be the geographical expression of a ‘civilisation’ Examples?Weaknesses?

Overlapping identities Regional identities are not simple – Multiple and overlapping Mexico? (NAFTA, Central America, Latin America, APEC) Not mutually exclusive – and not incompatible with national identity

Political & Social constructs The region is an ‘imagined community’ (like nations) They are ideas – not concrete entities Almost endlessly fluid – Change shape and size over time – Changing extent and purposes of cooperation Explains why regional identities are contested

Your nation state Invent a nation state and note down statistics and facts about it Using the example of your nation state – – What regional bodies would it belong to? – What purpose would they serve? – Would there be multiple, overlapping identities?

Regions as a popular idea? How much are regions a grassroots idea, coming from ‘the people’? How much are regions imposed from above?
