Regionalism

Regionalism is a complex of attitudes, loyalties and ideas which individuals and collective groups of people have over what they perceive as ‘their’ region. Regionalism exists both within states and between states and is a means of collective organisation. A prominent example of regionalism is the European Union which facilitates economic and political interaction and integration.
