Territory, Politics, Governance is an interdisciplinary journal from the Regional Studies Association. It is committed to the development of theory and research in territorial politics and the governance of space. This journal creates a platform on which to explore the interface between territory, politics, economy, identity and the organisation of political space. It confronts topical and emergent issues of world economic and political concern. The journal publishes original, high quality international scholarship from this growing, international and increasingly vibrant field directed at a worldwide academic audience and at policy makers, activists and other communities of practice.
The journal is included in the Thomas Reuters Emerging Sources Citation Index and Scopus and has a significant circulation footprint as it is distributed with its sister journals, Regional Studies, Spatial Economic Analysis and Area Development and Policy. It will be essential reading for academics and practitioners alike.
With the advantages of being a relatively new journal with shorter average turnaround from submission to review to decision the journal publishes four issues annually.
To be accepted, a paper must adhere to a high standard of scholarship and make an important contribution to this emerging field. Original paper submissions are sought from political scientists, geographers, sociologists, planners, lawyers, humanists and others working on territorial politics and the governance of space.
We encourage contributions that develop the field and promote communication across spatial and disciplinary borders. The following examples illustrate some of the subjects of interest:
• Links between territories and politics across time and space
• Globalization and geopolitical imaginations
• Territorial identities and politics
• Theories of socio-spatial relations such as territories, places, scales, and networks
• Territory, planning, and development
• Multi-level governance, federalism, and supranational organizations
• Territories of resistance
• Spaces of postcolonial governance
