Description

This thesis was motivated by an interest in the phenomenon commonly labelled as ‘new regionalism’ and in how ‘new regionalism’ underwent a change as attention turned to cities and city-regions from around the year 2000. The main objective of this study was to develop a framework for understanding how regions and city-regions have – if at all – ‘resurged’ in Europe as new objects and subjects of policy-making. I examine new (city-)regionalism in view of the general ‘neoliberalization’ of the state and of the related changes in the role of the state as the primary unit of socio-economic regulation, political organization and identity-building. To use a much-recurring term of the body of literature that inspired this study, I approach the actual outcomes of state spatial reorganization processes as the spatial manifestations of “actually existing neoliberalisms” (Brenner and Theodore, 2002). On this basis, my aim was to elaborate a theoretical and conceptual perspective from which the ongoing struggles to (re)define the spatial organization of the state can become better understood and the concrete outcomes of the struggles be better explained.
