About the Regions and Cities Book Series
In today’s globalised, knowledge-driven and networked world, regions and cities have assumed heightened significance as the interconnected nodes of economic, social and cultural production, and as sites of new modes of economic governance and policy experimentation. This book series, established in 1990, brings together incisive and critically engaged international and interdisciplinary research on this resurgence of regions and cities, and is of interest to geographers, economists, sociologists, political scientists and cultural scholars, as well as to policy-makers involved in regional and urban development.
To date, the series has published over 160 books, averaging six titles a year. The series team comprises the Editor-in-Chief, four Series Editors and the publisher’s Commissioning Editor. Further information about the series is available here.
