Regional development and regionalisation in the Adriatic space

Meer over het boek

The 3rd Conference of the Adriatic Forum, held from September 23-25, 2010, in Vienna, focused on Regional Development and Regionalisation, addressing global and European challenges relevant to the Adriatic region. The proceedings feature a selection of papers that align closely with the conference theme, beginning with transnational perspectives and then examining individual countries within the Adriatic space. Milan BUFON and Damir JOSIPOVIC explore trans-border relations and ethno-demographic situations in the Upper Adriatic, while Maria Paola PAGNINI and André SANGUIN compare border region developments in the Southern Alps and the Pyrenees. Peter JORDAN concludes this section with an analysis of administrative decentralisation across Adriatic countries. The focus then shifts to Slovenia, where Lucka LORBER discusses spatial disparities in recent decades, followed by Anton GOSAR's examination of regionalisation efforts for tourism branding. Simon KERMA highlights initiatives to promote wine tourism in the Primorska region. Jelena LONCAR and Zoran STIPERSKI address the socio-economic role of Central Croatia, and Jan WENDT offers insights into Polish tourism to Croatia and Slovenia, rounding out the diverse topics presented at the conference.
