Europe is facing today a strong demand for autonomy from the territories: on the one hand to protect the identity of local communities, and on the other hand to respond to the demand for a broader representation of resident citizenships. However, such demands can jeopardize the objectives of balance and integration between the areas of the territory and those who live there, objectives that have always been at the center of proposals developed in the framework of the regional sciences.
The recent crisis exacerbated instability and has widened economic and social gaps, not only between regions but also within the regions themselves. If the economic growth of the past decade had found an impulse in expanding the spaces of relations and exchanges, the responses to the threats brought by the crisis have frequently materialized in closing borders for defending local levels of wealth. Economic resilience has not always been followed by supporting of solid levels of social cohesion and integration between areas and communities.
