‘Nationalism’ may be a modern phenomenon, but national identities are not. The medieval and early modern Low Countries are a case in point. In this myriad of political and clerical territories, identities proved dynamic. Princes and rebels, soldiers and poets, all played a part in the shaping of new imagined communities. The essays in this volume show how regional and interregional identities developed, old ones survived, and novel ones came into being. They offer a fascinating insight into the continuities and discontinuities in the formation of (national) identities in the Low Countries and its neighbouring countries – and are an important contribution to the ongoing debates about national and other identities.

How regions and cities adapt to a Network Society and a globalized environment, the policies they pursue and how structures of governance are transformed in the pursuit of those policies are major themes in this volume. These issues are addressed with specific reference to the Nordic regions of Europe. Covering the four Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden plus the Faroe Islands, this volume charts the changes in networking activities and related development initiatives that have taken place over the last ten years. This means analysing regions in their pursuit of new policies, partnerships and styles of representation. Through this process regions are becoming partners and players in European integration and a movement of integrative regionalism is taking shape which is different from inward looking identity regionalism or self-centred competitive regionalism and takes regions beyond lobbying in Brussels.

This report is written within the framework of the Council of Europe's Committee of Experts for the setting up of the Pan-European Ecological Network. It gives an overview of the concept of the ecological network dealing with nature conservation at national and regional levels. In addition, it presents the experiments carried out in 17 European countries and highlights the need to put ecological measures into practice by integrating them into planning policies.

Building on the idea of inclusive learning, which entails a process of shared prosperity across the globe, this work looks at funamental changes at the start of the new milliennium, as innovation is gaining increasing importance for local economic prosperity and the emergence of learning societies.

Innovation, Networks and Learning Regions? address key issues of understanding in contemporary economic geography and local economic policy making in cities and regions in the advanced economies. Developing the idea that innovation is the primary driving force behind economic change and growth, the international range of contributors stress the importance of knowledge and information as the 'raw materials' of innovation. They examine the ways in which these elements may be acquired and linked through networks, and demonstrate that there are empirical examples of innovative areas which do not have highly developed networks yet appear to be relatively successful in terms of local economic growth. In so doing, they raise crucial questions about the ways in which regions or localities might be described as truly 'learning' areas, and about the sustainability of future economic and quality of life success based on innovation and high-technology.

In this new book, instead of a simple opposition to the new Chinese expansionist policy ("One Belt One Road Initiative"), Professor Mauricio Sousa argues that the European Union should start to formulate strategies to expand parts of productive processes of its industries to new markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America, in partnership with business groups from these developing countries. Thus, avoiding a new trade war, Eastern and Western countries would benefit from the coordination of development initiatives for these new markets, with many developing countries having opportunity to receive technologies and to train their workforce to new production patterns (such as Industrie 4.0), while expanding European, North American and Asiatic supply chains, optimizing new port and railway infrastructures that China has been building around the world. European Digital Shipping companies could play a key role in this process, since they are increasingly being able to apply Blockchain and other new technology standards in order to identify business opportunities and to plan new logistics channels, becoming a strategic link between European and North American industries and new regions in developing countries to where they could expand, accelerating the formation of more consumer markets, integrating regional clusters into global production networks.

The Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) was formally established under the framework of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) in November 2017, when its first meeting took place at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. GLOSOLAN’s objectives are: (1) to strengthen the performance of laboratories through use of standardized methods and protocols, and (2) to harmonize soil analysis methods so that soil information is comparable and interpretable across laboratories, countries and regions. In this context, GLOSOLAN plans to develop open access Standard Operating Procedures and manuals on good laboratory practices, execute regional and global proficiency testing, and increase the overall performance of laboratories through the organization of training sessions. By April 2019, over 220 laboratories from all continents were registered in GLOSOLAN. The South-East Asian Laboratory Network (SEALNET) which corresponds to the Regional Soil Laboratory Networks for the South-East Asian region decided to conduct an independent assessment of the technical performance of SEALNET laboratories through an inter-laboratory comparison. This report presents the results of the analysis using different figures to help laboratory managers and other non-specialist readers to perceive the different aspects of (i) the laboratory performance evaluation, (ii) the way to identify the technical problems in case of poor performances and (iii) suggesting which solutions can be proposed to improve the analytical performances
