The rapid change occurring in the economy, spatial organization, as well as institutional systems, affects states and regions, which must face crucial re-territorialization processes. In particular, European integration has produced a shrinkage of the European space and had important consequences in various fields, most of them with a spatial dimension. The result is that regions and countries (as well as economies) which were previously separated by political and customs barriers are now in close contact. As such, they gain advantages and encounter problems. In particular, the “gateways” to states and regions are being shifted from national borders to infrastructure nodes, in most cases coincident with the major metropolitan areas, while the enlarged scale of mobility and privatization processes are producing a concentration of companies operating on a global scale and the proliferation of small enterprises operating in niche markets.
