The goal of this work is to present most appropriate interpretations to understand the evolution of territorial economic systems, in the current economic scenario, characterized by remarkable changes both in time and in space. To meet this objective, we suggest some analysis perspectives and we introduce the concept of fracture, which indicates the interruption in the evolution of a phenomenon and the emergence of a crisis situation, but also discontinuities and orientation towards new development trajectories and new system structures. More precisely, we propose a territorial analysis which integrates: the diachronic analysis, oriented to reconstruct the economic trajectories and to identify the interruptions (temporal fractures) and the steps towards other development dynamics; the synchronic analysis, which aims to capture the traces of the processes on regional economic forms and to identify the development differences (territorial fractures); the relational analysis, aimed at describing the internal and external relationships and the fragmentation of the phenomena that occur at different spatial scales (transcalar fractures). Using these perspectives of analysis, we examined the economic system of Pisa, trying to understand its development trajectories, the transformations left in the territorial structures, the emergent fractures, the dynamics of reconstruction and change.

Abstract
The goal of this work is to present most appropriate interpretations to understand the evolution of territorial economic systems, in the current economic scenario, characterized by remarkable changes both in time and in space. To meet this objective, we suggest some analysis perspectives and we introduce the concept of fracture, which indicates the interruption in the evolution of a phenomenon and the emergence of a crisis situation, but also discontinuities and orientation towards new development trajectories and new system structures. More precisely, we propose a territorial analysis which integrates: the diachronic analysis, oriented to reconstruct the economic trajectories and to identify the interruptions (temporal fractures) and the steps towards other development dynamics; the synchronic analysis, which aims to capture the traces of the processes on regional economic forms and to identify the development differences (territorial fractures); the relational analysis, aimed at describing the internal and external relationships and the fragmentation of the phenomena that occur at different spatial scales (transcalar fractures). Using these perspectives of analysis, we examined the economic system of Pisa, trying to understand its development trajectories, the transformations left in the territorial structures, the emergent fractures, the dynamics of reconstruction and change.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
