Beskrivning

This book explores the ways in which the EU features overlapping spheres of authority. Using territorial ideas prevalent in the Medieval Period, Andreas Faludi offers ways to rethink the current debates surrounding territorialism in the EU.Challenging contemporary European spatial planning, this book explores how modern planning puts the democratic control of state territories and their development in question. The notion of democracy in an increasingly interconnected world is a key issue, and as such Faludi advocates a Europe where national borders are questioned, and ultimately transgressed.Progressive and timely, this book is an invaluable read for academic and practicing planners concerned with European planning and co-operation. Critical social and political geographers will also benefit from the revolutionary insights Faludi offers.

Recensioner i media

'Andreas Faludi's book is original and inspiring. In his enquiry about ''territorialism'', he develops a concrete pedagogy of the irrelevance of national borders. Andreas, a leading expert in the field of spatial planning, modestly claims to stick to planning as his legitimate field, but has sufficient knowledge to think out of the box, and look at the big picture. Andreas is one of those rare people with the sufficient vision and systemic approach required to plan an interdependent world.'--Jean Peyrony, Mission opérationnelle transfrontalière, France'In his latest book, Andreas Faludi engagingly interweaves an academic discussion on territorialism and its challenges for spatial planning with his personal reflections on the history and possible future of the EU integration project.'--Stefanie Dühr, University of South Australia'In The Poverty of Territorialism Andreas Faludi challenges key concepts that the spatial planning community has come to love. Faludi's thoughts offer highly valuable inspiration to all those dealing with the future of regions, the nation state or even the European Union. Cutting edge planning literature!'--Jörg Knieling, HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany
