About the Journal
Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society is an international multi-disciplinary journal publishing refereed papers on the spatial dimensions of contemporary socio-economic-political change. The Journal is interested in both policy and theoretical innovation. As each issue is devoted to a specific topic, articles are solicited within announced themes, so submissions outside these areas can rarely be accepted.
The aim of the Journal is to understand the formative changes and developments associated with the new spatial foundations of today’s globalizing world. It also examines how changes in the global economy are playing out across different spatial scales. Authors are encouraged to engage with the public-policy implications of the issues they address. The Journal is keen to encourage articles from a diverse range of theoretical perspectives.
The Journal will publish papers that
- present cutting-edge research; and
- provide incisive critical reviews of the ‘state of the art’ of the topic or area in question.
