Italian term or phrase: chiusura sul proprio territorio
I'm struggling with the term "chiusura sul proprio territorio" - it appears in an article about a Swiss regional broadcasting service. I suspect there's an idiomatic meaning but I can't find any clues so I'd be grateful for some help with this.

Here's the Italian in context:

La nuova società digitale impone poi una riflessione di fondo: come conciliare gli elementi tradizionali e di conservazione (tradizioni, dialetto, chiusura sul proprio territorio) con le spinte verso il centro e la centralizzazione (globalizzazione, trionfo delle aziende over the top).

---

The new digital society then imposes a fundamental consideration: how to reconcile the traditional and conservative elements (traditions, dialects, ...) with the push towards the centre and centralisation (globalisation, the success of over-the-top services).

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
Hi, I think that here "chiusura" means a special attention on local resources (for example, typical food, crops, beauties ...), potentialities, a sort of development / enhancement of that
