This (EXCELLENT) paper expands the understanding of development traps and peripheral regions by showing how stories and imaginaries held by key actors materialise and become regional realities and calls for more place sensitivity. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Andrés Rodríguez-Pose

Remaining in a development trap for long periods leads to discontent, causing social & political resentment towards a system that does not benefit left-behind areas. Excellent article by Max Roessler on why regions fall into traps. doi.org/10.1080/001300… doi.org/10.1080/216813…

👋 Greetings! We, the Economic and Social Geography Group, are looking forward to getting in touch with you, giving you an insight into our work and sharing our latest research Uni Greifswald and beyond! Let's get connected! 🌍📈🧑‍🎓
