| Journal Description : | Region and Periphery is an interdisciplinary journal which aims to establish itself a forum for the exchange of scientific views on issues and political interventions related to regional development from a historical, legal, institutional, political, social, environmental, cultural, spatial and economic point of view.
The English title of the journal comprises two related, but different terms, in order to convey the twofold meaning of the Greek word “periphereia” (pe??f??e?a). On the one hand, “periphereia” refers to a specific geographical area, which becomes an object of social scientific analysis (region). On the other hand, it is conceptualized as a space defined by its dialectic relationship with a “centre”, which can be found at a national, European or international level (periphery).
Thus, under the first conceptualization, regional development refers to an individual and independent analysis of the regions of Calabria or Darmstadt, the federal state of Bavaria, the city of Shanghai or any other spatial unit. According to the second conceptualization, regional development refers to the juxtaposition of the “peripheral” region of Calabria to the “central” region of Darmstadt, the development of Greece as part of the European periphery in relation to the European “core, or the development of a “third world” country in relation to the developed world. This twofold reading of the world «pe??f??e?a» is central to the identity of the journal itself. |
