abstract Region is a polysemous concept, partially defined by several disciplines: sociology, international relations, geography, economy, law or politics. Even within the realm of an own discipline, the concept can be analysed in different ways: at supra- or sub-state level, but also from bottom-up (regionalism) or top-down (regionalization) perspectives.
