Territory, Politics, Governance: call for papers
Territory, Politics, Governance is a new interdisciplinary journal from the Regional Studies Association committed to the development of theory and research in territorial politics and the governance of space. The journal is directed at a worldwide academic audience and at policy makers, activists, other communities of practice and civil servants. Its inspiration lies in the need to respond to the increasing mismatch between world economic and political geographies. Engaging with crucial debates and emerging themes will be important elements in the journal's overall approach.
The editors invite original paper submissions from political scientists, geographers, sociologists, planners, lawyers, humanists and others working on territorial politics and the governance of space. The following topics are of particular interest:
- Links between territories and politics across time and space
- State-space relations over time
- Theories of socio-spatial relations involving territories, places, scales, and networks
- Globalization and geopolitical imaginations
- Territory, planning, and development
- Territories of resistance
- Territorial identities and politics
- Spaces of postcolonial governance
- Multi-level governance, federalism, and supranational organizations
Papers should be between 7000 and 9000 words and will be subject to refereeing at international standards.
