Beyond the Territorial Fix: Regional Assemblages, Politics and Power

Abstract: Allen J. and Cochrane A. (2007) Beyond the territorial fix: regional assemblages, politics and power, Regional Studies 41, 1161-1175. The idea of regions as territorially fixed in some vital political sense is a stubborn conception, one that is both mobilized to pursue selective interests and to establish regional identities. To assert that regions are political constructs, however, is not to say that such bounded, territorial entities enclose all the political relations that produce them. This paper puts forw… Show more

“…City making is reproduced and realized by the efforts of actors located at different scales and levels and in different spaces, such as Madrid and La Chureca (i.e., multiplex cities; Allen & Cochrane, 2007). Unexpected mutations can happen, for example, when the "12 community leaders" began challenging the Acahualinca Programme, as policy is not inscribed in stone, but mutates and shifts, sometimes surprisingly and unpredictably (Andersson & McFarlane, 2011).…”

“…Ce point de vue a conduit à privilégier une approche dite « relationnelle » de la région au détriment d'une approche dite « territoriale » (par ex. Allen and Cochrane, 2007), en s'inspirant plus ou moins explicitement de la théorie de l'acteur-réseau. D'autres auteurs se sont plutôt intéressés aux modalités discursives du cadrage des problèmes à résoudre, des solutions préconisées et des justifications données ex post à la constitution d'un système de régions sub-nationales ou de régions de projet.…”

“…Na mesma direção, argumenta-se que a descentralização pode gerar problemas de coordenação entre atores no processo decisório, diferenciar critérios de elegibilidade por regiões e legitimar institucionalmente modelos divergentes de políticas sociais -o que, por conseguinte, conduziria a diferentes resultados regionais e aumentaria a desigualdade (Kazepov & Barberis 2013). Tratam-se, na realidade, de argumentos derivados da concepção de que formas difusas de governança de políticas tendem a produzir resultados espacialmente descontínuos (Allen & Cochrane 2007). Do ponto de vista lógico, o argumento em torno de tais proposições é bastante atraente.…”
