Resumen
In the past few decades, we have witnessed the emergence of territorial and economic processes with a new dynamic: globalisation, and a new scale: global, resulting in the reorganisation of the usual territorial hierarchy in our geo-economic analyses. This is why we suggest macroregional cooperation and collaboration policies for the Mediterranean Arc Euroregion (Euram), following the examples of three regions in Italy (within the same state) and the Rhine-Alpine Corridor (among different states), specifically in the areas of projecting the Mediterranean port front, the freight railway system and the overall logistics supply. These macroregional visions do not necessary invalidate particular visions but instead complement them and prevent duplication, inefficiencies and wastage in the system of allocating fixed capital by the state and the autonomous communities. We need an overall view of the logistical potentialities of Euram and an in-depth reflection on the paradigm by which we examine our territories' relations in a globalised yet regionalised space.Key words: logistics, globalisation, infrastructures, regionalisation, macro-region.Original source: Concret.
