Sci: Energy & Earth Sciences Social Sciences

La mondialisation et les nouvelles technologies semblent avoir affaibli les effets de la proximité et de la distance dans l'organisation de l'espace des sociétés. Pourtant les marques profondes laissées par des siècles de restriction des échanges du fait des difficultés et du coût de franchissement de la distance sont encore très apparentes dans l'organisation du monde. Les principales régions économiques, les grandes aires culturelles, des alliances territoriales se sont formées dans ce contexte. Aujourd'hui encore, le potentiel de la proximité continue à structurer les réseaux d'échanges avec leurs inégalités et leurs asymétries.
