Globalization ; Region ; Regional policy ; Sustainable development
Problems regions are regions with severe economic problems, a low standard of living and often a polluted environment. If a problem region has a special position in the frame of the national regional policy, then it used as an instrument of regional
policy. Recently the importance of problem regions as such an instrument has become more important. This is under conditions of globalisation, with the paradigm of sustainable development, and basic theoretical characteristics of regions. The use

Illustrated through the experience of Germany, this paper demonstrates that interaction between different networked regional spaces (eg, city-regions and cross-border regions) is resulting in new networked regional imaginaries (eg, cross-border
metropolitan regions). Its overall aim is to show that the production of entirely new networked spaces can assist in overcoming the contradictions present in one configuration of regions, but this only serves to create a new ‘regional problem’ requiring ever
