The inter-actions between the economy, the environment, and territorial systems form a complex network that influences the structure and development of regions. The reflection is carried out both in relation to imbalances and in the reinterpretation of ecological and socio-spatial relations, col-laborative processes, and the organisation and reorganisation of space as relational goods. The issue of territorial imbalances is linked to the ques-tion of conflicts within political ecology. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to present a theoretical reflection that aims to deepen the rela-tionship between the economy, the environment, and territorial systems, focusing specifically on relational goods in the context of two spatio-temporal dimensions and referring to a territorial system as an alternative approach.
