Andreas Faludi, Emeritus Professor of Spatial Policy Systems in Europe, Delft, the Netherlands

'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
