“…This grouping together of the main disciplines does not imply an absence of occasional contributions from other (traditionally less interested in the regional issue) theoretical fields. Indeed, the value of contributions taking a juridical (Domínguez, 2005) or historical (Applegate, 1999) approach, for instance, should also be pointed out. 3.…”

“…Research focused on local and regional economic differences and on the political modernization of peripheral regions. 1 A good example of this approach is offered by the 1994 special issue of Geschichte und Gesellschaft, which was dedicated to 'Nationalism and Regionalism in Western Europe.' The articles in it deal with Northern Ireland, Catalonia, the Basque Country, and various 'underprivileged' regions within France.…”

Only recently the region has become an object of analysis again. Particularly the cultural approach, focusing on the process of regional identity formation, is producing remarkable results. Nevertheless, the strength of regionalism in many European countries during the period 1890-1945, which has been neglected for many decades, is still underestimated. The regionalist movement rivalled the avant-garde in trying to reform existing high culture from an almost opposite point of view. Regionalist art and vernacular architecture were highly valued until World War II. Even in recent studies, however, regionalism and regional movements are mainly studied within one national context. Consequently, its origins and development are generally explained within the same context as well. Only a comparative study can do justice to this truly international phenomenon, which profoundly affected the sense of belonging of millions of people in this crucial period of European history.

“…According to Applegate (1999Applegate ( : 1163, the basic tendencies of the modernization paradigm with regard to regions can be reduced to three, each of them described as a kind of a disappearance of the region -economically, politically, and culturally . First -and this was fundamental -, regions disappeared as economic entities; their distinctive economic strengths and weaknesses gradually attenuated when they became absorbed into nationally-based markets, regulated by national economic institutions, and homogenized by the effects of labour and capital mobility .…”

“…Since the 1970s, a powerful resurgence of regional unrest and regional assertion has been taking place in a number of European nations, which has become, as phenomena, a new task for scholars and launched the 'regional studies' (Applegate 1999(Applegate : 1164 . One of the results was a dilemma regarding 'the true nature of regions, whether as ethnic enclaves, economic powerhouses, or civic utopias' (Applegate 1999(Applegate : 1165 .…”

Regions – between History and Social Construction

. The study aims to give a comprehensive explanation on how regional construction took place in the European history related to the state-building processes and how the historical heritage of the European state-construction influences today the social construction of the regions. With regard to the state-building processes, the study started from Hechter's model of 'primary' and 'secondary' state and his interpretation on the relationship between core regions and peripheries . This model operates with the centralizing power of the state, but from the last decades of the 20 th century it was proved via the 'new regionalism' that social construction processes became more relevant in shaping new subnational regions . This last aspect is described by Paasi, and the study argues for a new concept of regional identity as a territorial 'product' of interacting governance and local society .
