Swinging Peripheries And Centers in Europe (SPACE): Comparative Legal Dimensions of Territory

PRIN 2022 Ragone

Abstract

The SPACE project challenges the traditional, State-based legal approach to territory through the lens of the center/periphery cleavage by investigating the processes of configuration and reconfiguration of centers and peripheries in Europe over the past decades. The research project applies comparative methods and is structured around three core pillars, each representing a distinct but interconnected dimension of the legal concept of territory: 1) The European Dimension: Integration and Disintegration; 2) The Cooperative Relational Dimension; 3) The Spatial Dimension of Rights. SPACE is developed by 5 research units: UNIBO (University of Bologna), UNIVR (University of Verona), UNICAL (University of Calabria), UNIFI (University of Florence) and LUM (LUM University De Gennaro, Casamassima–Bari). The objectives of the project are threefold: 1) to advance critical knowledge on the legal dimensions of the territory by underpinning a comparative analysis characterised by methodological pluralism; 2) to contribute to scholarly debates on comparative law and legal geography; 3) to enhance dialogue with civil society, policy-makers, schools and civil society through the dissemination of the project results. The expected outcomes cover scholarly pieces (one book and several special issues and individual publications); academic events in all universities involved to share intermediate and final results; events involving stakeholders in all universities involved.
