Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society publishes multidisciplinary 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.
Given this remit, the Journal will publish papers that include one or more of the following:
- cutting-edge multidisciplinary research;
- incisive critical reviews of the ‘state of the art’ of the topic in question;
- engagement with and interrogation of contemporary policy issues and debates.

The next issue, which will be published in Autumn 2009, is entitled ‘Transforming Work’. The aim of this special issue is to critically interrogate the claims made about the consequences of the growth of the service economy at different spatial scales. Within and between economies, regions and cities, new divisions of labour, new patterns of workplace participation, and the entry of an expanding and increasingly diverse labour force raise a range of questions, from issues of labour market polarisation, new social and spatial inequalities, job quality, feminisation, economic migration to questions about the growth of outsourcing, new patterns of trade and new global connections, making the regulation of the labour relation and employment markets increasingly complex.
Themes of future issues include
- The resilient region
- Re-regionalizing the food system?
