Abstract

This paper is a preliminary report on a research project concerning the reshaping of territorial representation in Southern Europe that has been brought about by the ongoing process of Europeanization. The first two sections provide a definition of the two key phenomena that are connected here, representation and Europeanization, and suggest a few possible mechanisms that may account for that connection. The third section presents the main hypotheses to control empirically in order to reply to the key questions of the research. The fourth and fifth ones clarify time and space of the research, indicate the Structural Funds as the policy at the core of research, review the main results o£ previous research on either a similar topic or the same one. The sixth section presents the preliminary results of the research mainly with reference to Italy. The concluding remarks point to the path still to be covered.
