Globalization, increasingmobility and the boost in information flows are usually associated with the gradual loss of importance both of space as distance, and of the territory as an identity referential. Promoting scale changes to global changes, network systems to spaces of non-places and space permeability to the failure of territory, we live in a time ofdeep ideological crisis in terms of space organization. Faced with the threat of a logic of allotment spaces replacing that of spaces of belonging, nomadic territorial strategies substituting sedentary territorial solutions, and the nation-State becoming less and less effective at addressing issues of spatial inclusion, above or belowits operative scale, we find that a strong anchorage of a territorial nature, especially at the national, regional and local levels, seems to persist – and perhaps even increase.

State Nature

From the beginning of this book we have consistently emphasized that our multi-faceted understanding of states cannot be simplistically equated with a nationally scaled and territorially bound institution. Despite this stated aim, in many of the preceding chapters we have described a series of ways in which state natures have been produced at a national level. Whether it has been through water supply networks, national mapping and land-use surveys, nationalized pollution monitoring networks, or nationwide judicial frameworks, we have described how nature has been framed at a distinctly national scale. While exploring the national framing of nature we have seen how the national centralization of ecological knowledge and the territorial framing of the natural world have transformed the social experience, understanding, and ability to transform nature. A closer inspection of our descriptions of the nationalization of nature within the modern state, however, revels that the process of nationalization is never quite as national as it may seem. Attempts to produce a national picture or vision of nature are always based upon more localized practices and conventions than may be immediately apparent. It is our contention that attempts to manage and regulate nature through the multifarious processes of nationalization are best conceived of as the unfulfilled desire of numerous state regimes. This statement has two implications. First, it indicates that nationally based strategies for the control and regulation of nature are only one among a series of scales in and through which states can potentially manage nature. Secondly, it suggests that states could develop other (non-national) territorial strategies in their evolving historical relationships with the natural world. This final chapter is devoted to exploring these alterative sites and moments of contemporary state–nature relations. We begin by considering the rise of sustainable cities as alterative (‘post-national’) territorial strategies in and through which states are attempting to manage contemporary social relations with nature. As sub-national, decentralized territorial units, sustainable cities provide an interesting spatial and institutional perspective on contemporary manifestations of state nature. Drawing on the example of Australia’s Sustainable Cities Inquiry, we consider how states attempt to regulate nature through the control and administration of urban space.

Territorial Marking

When analyzed systematically, Tropical Africa megalithism appears to have emerged in contexts of friction between different lifeways, agriculturalists versus foragers, pastoralists versus hunter-gatherers-fishermen, or agriculturalists versus fishing folks. The monuments built were clearly part of actual territorial strategies. Research conducted by the Sine Ngayene Archaeological Project (2002-2012)  frontally addressed the “Why” of the emergence of megalithism in that part of the world, and probes the reasons for the performance of the elaborate burial practices preserved in the archaeological record. This paper emphasizes the diversity and complexity of burial protocols invented by Senegambian “megalith-builders” communities from 1450 BCE to 1500 CE. Senegambian megalithism is shown to have proceeded from territorial marking imperatives, shaping a multi-layered cultural landscape through the implemented mortuary programs anchored on the construction of Ancestorhood.

Territorial Strategies

The purpose of the article is to analyze the effectiveness of the information component for popularizing the territory brand. In modern conditions, the mobility of people and capital has reached such a level that a well-thought-out branding of the territory allows it to actively compete for resources, investment, skilled labor, partners, and so on. Therefore, the territories need to have their own identity and actively promote it. The importance of creating and promoting a brand is confirmed by both international brand ratings and the results of the development of territories after the implementation of a successfully developed brand. Territory branding helps to transform a country or a separate region from a ge-ographical unit into a full-fledged product that has its own value. The work shows that the creation of an effective brand of a territory is a com-plex mechanism that includes a system of principles, adherence to which allows one to create a brand that reflects the unique characteristics of the territory, its features and attractiveness. Additionally, a successful brand of a territory can become the ba-sis for effective brands of goods and services. The article analyzes the effective and ineffective brands of territories around the world. Based on this, it was concluded that for the marketing strategy of the territory to be successful, it is necessary to equally involve representatives of government, business and citizens themselves. An important component of promoting the brand of the territory, like any other product, is the effective dissemination of information about it to the target audience. The Internet has huge opportunities for this as one of the cheapest and easiest ways to disseminate information. The analysis of data for 2000-2020 carried out in the work showed that the share of Internet users in the world is constantly growing. In developing countries, it tends to have accelerated growth, that according to the prognosis will continue its being in the nearest future. At the same time, the main users of the networks are able-bodied and paying people aged 20 to 39 years, whose share is more than 50% of the world's population. Therefore, promoting the brand of territory using Internet technologies has undeniable advantages over other methods of promoting goods. In order to attract solvent buyers, the territory must be recognizable, have a competitive and attractive Internet portal. The analysis carried out in the work showed that the websites of the Ukrainian territorial units have a number of short-comings in comparison with the leading European practices. Therefore, the authori-ties should actively involve professional marketers to develop competitive brands, which will ultimately help the Ukrainian territories to fight equally for resources and capital. In addition, the development of the official site of the territory with the popularization of working enterprises and industries can give an impetus to attracting investment in business.
