ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the production of regions in transition and transformation as multi-scalar renegotiations of place, driven by Western European ideas of democratisation and marketisation and enmeshed with the legacies of communism and revived senses of ethnic national consciousness. It explores the competing representations of regional differentiation in transition. The conjunction of democratisation and marketisation as current processes, interacting with antecedent conditions, has recast the production of regions as a dynamic of spatial modernity in the Neo-liberal Project.
