“…As mentioned above, the countryside has experienced a transformation from production and consumption and has become a commodity that can be bought and sold (Floysand andJakobsen, 2007, Kneafsey et al, 2001). Regional branding rides this trend of "commodification".…”

“…The culture economy model has four modes. Mode I can be compared with the commoditization put forward by Floysand and Jakobsen (2007) and Kneafsey et al (2001), among others. Mode II activities emphasize the incorporation of cultural resources into a territorial identity in order to promote the territory to the "outside" (Kneafsey, 2000).…”

Within the globalizing world, regions and their identities are subjected to great pressure. At present, places are engaged in a process of “territorial competition” in an integrated world economy. The identity of the region can be used as a starting point to brand a region and differentiate it from others. In the regional branding process, the region as a whole becomes a product or brand and offers a “basket” of regional products and services. Regional branding is aimed at creating a more distinctive image or reputation, which helps to increase regional competitiveness. This paper discusses the possibility of regional identity as a mobilizing force for rural development, by studying best practice examples of regional branding. Using the grounded theory approach, we conducted interviews in three case regions:West Cork (Ireland), Groene Woud (the Netherlands) and Pajottenland (Belgium). The study of these cases led to the formulation of critical success factors on the organization of regional branding. Comparative analysis of the cases demonstrates the importance of passionate initiators as ambassadors of the region and the advantage of a well-coordinated internal network in the region. Next to that, the internal marketing of the region is considered an important critical success factors.

“…Rural restructuring due to globalization has been on the agenda of rural studies for a while. There are several reasons for this, one being socio-economic transformations in which an economy based on agricultural production is turned into a service-based economy, including a view of landscapes as consumable (Marsden 1990;Cloke 2006;Fløysand & Jakobsen 2007;Conradson & Pawson 2009). Another reason is spatial complexity as a consequence of time-space compression -fuelled by communication technology (Cloke 2006;Paniagua 2009).…”
