Regional Worlds: Advancing the Geography of Regions Hardback
Edited by Martin Jones, Anssi Paasi
Part of the Regions and Cities series
Hardback
Description
A key concern in the debate and empirical research on the geography of regions is the evolution of the conceptualizations and practical uses of the idea of ‘region’.
This idea prioritises both the intellectual and the practical development of regional studies.
This book drives the discussion further. It stresses the complex forms of agency/advocacy involved in the production and reproduction of regional spaces and space of regionalism as well as the importance of geohistory and context.
The book moves beyond the territorial/relational divide that has characterized debates on regions and regional borders since the 1990s.
The contributors answer key questions from different conceptual and concrete-contextual angles and to motivate readers to reflect on the perpetual significance of regional concepts and how they are mobilized by various actors to maintain or transform the contested spatialities of societal power relations. This book was based on a special issue of Regional Studies.
