Regionalism and political society

Benno Werlen

pp. 1-22

Regionalism and Nationalism are transformative forces of the political landscape at the end of the 20th century. As we all know, they have a high potential of destruction. Why has traditional human geography—as the science of the regional—so little explanatory potential for these social processes? Here I offer some answers and suggest—drawing on the social philosophy of Alfred Schutz—a perspective giving social geography a greater problem-solving capacity in late-modernity.
