Regional history
Regional history is the study of the history of a specific geographic area. It may be focused on the social development of period-specific cultures without any reference to contemporary political, economic or social organisations.〔p.332, Kotlyakov, Komarova (entry 2781)〕
The fundamental principle underlying this approach is that older political and conceptual structures exist which exercise greater influence on the spatial-social identity of individuals than is understood by the contemporary world, bound to and often blinded by its own worldview - e.g. the focus on the nation-state.〔p.151, Tägil〕
Definitions of regions vary,〔xiii, Tägil〕 and regions can include macroregions such as Europe, territories of traditional states, or smaller microregional areas. A geographic proximity is the often required precondition for emergence of a regional identity.〔 In Europe the regional identities are often derived from the Migration Period, but for the contemporary perspective are related to the 1918-1920 time of territorial transformation, and another in the post-Cold War period.〔p.82. Lehti, Smith〕
Some regions are entirely invented, such as the Middle East in 1902 by a military strategist, Alfred Thayer Mahan, to refer to the area of the Persian Gulf.〔p.65, Lewis, Wigen〕
