Place_4_Regions and nations as places

 I'll summarize a section of the book "Place" written by Tim Cresswell. 

In this section, the author explains how place or identities in it is created in political areas. He concluded that people who try to construct political entities make effort to give historical and identical meanings to their designated territories to make them more place-like. Almost all people believe that they are connected through the idea of their nation as place.  National ideology and belonging, which make a nation place, make them think in such a manner. In addition each regions in a nation also have such ideology which are made by politicians.In addition, he also quotes the statements of Anssi Paasi that 'regionalization' involves the 'formation of the conceptual symbolic space'.
