Europe lives in age of regionalism and regional identities which offer an alternative to the rigidities of organization by nation-state. Historically, such regions have been defined--if defined at all--in cultural, linguistic, ethnic, or political terms, with little emphasis on the economic factors of the period before industrialization. Tom Scott's intensive study of one region--the Upper Rhine between 1450 and 1600--redresses this imbalance. In this locality, divided between three countries and historically marginalized, Scott reveals the existence of a modern sense of regional identity working across national frontiers, and predicated on common economic interests.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The current debate about the best methods of European organization - central or regional - is influenced by an awareness of regional identity, which offers an alternative to the rigidities of organization by nation-state. Yet where does the sense of regionalism come from? What are the distinctive factors that transform a geographical area into a particular 'region'? Tom Scott addresses these questions in this study of one apparently 'natural' region - the UpperRhine - between 1450 and 1600. This region has been divided between three countries and so historically marginalized, yet Dr Scott is able to trace the existence of a sense of historical regional identitycutting across national frontiers, founded on common economic interests. But that identity was always contingent and precarious, neither 'natural' nor immutable. A study of Europe's Upper Rhine between 1450 and 1600, which offers an alternative to the rigidities of organization by nation-state. Divided between three countries and historically marginalized, this book reveals the existence of a modern sense of regional identity working across national frontiers, and predicated on common economic interests.
