Territory
ASOC territory extends beyond political borders into rural areas which face similar challenges. What do a textile factory in Royans-Vercors region in France, a nunnery in Belmonte, Italy and a cheese factory in Thesprotia region in Greece have in common? As territory we consider not just a physical space but rather a complex web of inter-relationships that includes human and non-human agents.
