In Adriatic the Route Points to the Future

Abstract

An historical and sociological approach is useful to consider the trade affecting the Adriatic basin, from ancient times until the present time. Now, sustainable development relies on a new mode of transnational cooperation: the Adriatic-Ionian macroregion. It’s a dynamic system of relations between actors in the socio-economic context, and it consists in a flexible infrastructure of organisation. The four pillars lead to future prospects, through the evolution based on genetic traits: historical, geographical, cultural and socio-economic drivers. The whole system, with the dichotomy of local/global, is conditioned by infrastructural connectivity.
