This paper offers a comprehensive overview of modern regionalism in France, with a particular focus on the territorial administrative organization and its far-reaching effects on cultural, political, and economic regionalism. Drawing from the principles underlying the French regionalization process, we emphasize the decentralization initiatives aimed at empowering local authorities and nurturing regional identities. Our analysis traces the evolution of regionalism in France, from a historical era of centralization to the current state of territorial administrative organization, highlighting the multi-dimensional nature of regional development. Furthermore, we explore the cultural, political, and economic facets of regionalism, illuminating their interconnectedness and their impact on regional dynamics. By delving into the French regionalization model and its outcomes, this paper aims to enhance our comprehension of modern regionalism in France and its broader implications for governance and socio-economic development.
