ABSTRACT

This book is dedicated to the theme Peripherality, marginality and border issues. It has developed out of interests and concerns over the position and attention given to such regions across the globe, but particularly within a Europe where cities and city-regions are dominating the research and policy agenda. The chapters and arguments complement the work of the associated international research network (https://www.pemabo.net" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">www.pemabo.net) which brings together facilities, expertise, experience and resources focused on peripheral and marginal communities and economies. This volume aims to support the dissemination of research from across northern Europe, foster knowledge exchange and contribute to more significant cooperation across borders.
