Regional Economies and Policies

The International and Interdisciplinary Journal on Economies and Policies across Regional and Research Areas

 

Economies and policies cannot be separated from the multilayered systems or environments called "regions" - where humans interact from local to global or from rural to urban areas amidst technological, demographic, institutional, and environmental changes. Regional Economies and Policies serves as the international platform for the study of such regional economies and regional policies by interdisciplinary scholars. It addresses issues and policy implications emerging from the cutting edge and core of regional changes whose geographical scope ranges from local to global areas. It seeks to develop international discussions between diverse academic disciplines on regional economies and policies, including regional economics, innovation economics, regional and community development, climate change and sustainability, housing and land policies, transportation policies, environmental policies, urban culture and communication policies, spatial analyses and GIS, local finance and autonomy, and international comparative studies of regional problems and challenges.


 

AIMS AND SCOPE

 

Regional Economies and Policies aims at developing the international and interdisciplinary nexus where the up-to-date ideas, perspectives, and experiences of regional economies and regional policies are academically exchanged, shared, and diffused. It covers regional economic, public, social, and environmental issues and phenomena emerging from local to global interactions, whose analytical and policy implications are generalizable across regions. Toward an interdisciplinary understanding of regions, our international scholars will (be expected to) endeavor to synthesize or willingly share the standpoints of knowledge of regions such as: function vs. structure, (internal) system vs. environment, behavior vs. action, individual vs. organization, market vs. government, mechanism vs. organism, civilization vs. culture, objectivity vs. subjectivity, cause vs. reason, positivism vs. interpretivism, or quantitative vs. qualitative approaches. In particular, regional economies are the systems of how (much) and where to produce and redistribute what using scarce resources or public goods in the dynamics where unnecessarily-selfish social agents can interact rationally or institutionally making different regional policies and histories.
