Across the whole of our modern world, territory is directly linked to sovereignty to mould politics into a fundamentally state-centric social process: the state'scapture of politics is premissed upon territoriality. The domination of political

The A. examines the claim of the decreased relevance of existing structures of multipurpose territorial government. He points to configurations of governance that usually lead to situations of diffused accountability and limit the field
of democratic accountability. A change in the existing structures through which territorial self-government and administration are organized is not necessary in order to cope with the pressures and uncertainties of globalization.
Unlike countries, cities and regions compete on the basis of an absolute advantage principle and not a comparative advantage principle. The competitiveness of territories emerges as a central issue, in order to secure employment stability, benefits
for external integration, continuing growth of local well-being and wealth. The arguments put forward by P. Krugman, defining the concept of competitiveness, are wrong and misleading, and cannot be accepted in a territorial regional and urban context.
