It is also an interdisciplinary category, firmly rooted in contemporary social consciousness, so it is a concept that is widely used in various fields of knowledge, and is a reference for political and economic endeavors; It allows not only to integrate Geography, but also to "geographize" a wide range of sciences.
In this text it is intended to analyze how the Region has been approached from different geographical currents, as well as to make a balance of the state of the regional approach in Geography at the current moment of development of the discipline.
