ABSTRACT
The territorial system of nations, states, regions and the boundaries between them has seen a continual transformation reflecting economic, political, military and administrative changes, decisions made by state organs, rulers, various classes, social groupings and enterprises (Paasi, 1996). Recent transformation in the territorial organization and ideological landscape of the former Yugoslavia has rendered the perpetual regional transformation process particularly visible. All boundaries were redefined, as were the contents of social spaces, which were endowed with new cultural and political terms. This process of territorial reorganization coincided with the transformation of the economy of the advanced capitalist societies and a new articulation of global, national and local scales associated with the increasing transnationalization of capital accumulation (Robins and Morley, 1993, cited in Paasi, 1996).
