✦ Synopsis

This paper examines the regional dynamics emerging in Switzerland through Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) devices, in which a large number of typical agricultural products get involved. Extending R. Balme's works on neo‐regionalisms, we approach those dynamics as a new, globalization‐oriented way of regional mobilization. Our empirical research shows how professional bodies together with regional authorities (“cantons”), through a relevant use of the PDO‐PGI device, enact a clear, legitimate presence of rural territories in globalization. The PDO‐PGI device can thus be analyzed as a negotiated way of connecting local and global, especially favored by the successful adaptation of neo‐regionalism to federalism logics in the Swiss context.
