About the Journal

Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society publishes multi-disciplinary international research on the spatial dimensions of contemporary socio-economic-political change. The Journal adopts a focused thematic format. Each issue is devoted to a particular theme selected by the international editorial team.

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.

Forthcoming themes include:
• Rescaling the State
• Transforming Work
• The Future of Economic Policy
• The Regional Impact of Climate Change
• Local Circuits of Global Finance
• Worlds of Migration
• Collaborative Innovation
• Spatialising the Social Sciences
• The Geopolitics of Climate Change
• Geographies of (In)security

Papers are welcome on any of the themes listed above. All papers will be subject to the standard refereeing process. Please click here for more information on the issues we are currently working on.
