Spatial Politics

Spatial politics, in the context of regionalism studies, refers to how geographical spaces influence political power, decision-making, and social relations. It examines how regions—defined by physical, cultural, or economic boundaries—shape identities, governance, and interactions among communities. This concept highlights the importance of location in political issues, such as resource distribution, economic development, and social inequality. By analyzing spatial dynamics, researchers can better understand how regional identities and interests impact local, national, and global politics, revealing the interconnected nature of geography and governance.
