Regionalisation is understood as an academic practice of spatial delimitation of natural, social, economical, cultural or political spheres of reality. In an action-centered perspective it is understood as everyday practice, not for delimitating the ‘world’ spatially, but for using special references for the economical, political and cultural structuring of social realities. A region is the outcome of these delimitations of space. Regions are not a pre-given fact, it is that what humans make of it. And are helpful for human beings to make sense of the world around them. | Regionalisation is understood as an academic practice of spatial delimitation of natural, social, economical, cultural or political spheres of reality.
