Peripheralization and Power – Theoretical Debates

  • Chapter

Abstract

In recent decades socio-economic inequalities in Europe have been aggravated due to economic globalisation and the transformation of the welfare state. A large number of European states are characterized by a polarization between dynamic, growing metropolitan regions and rural or old industrial regions experiencing shrinking processes. Thereby, it is not only great metropolises such as London or Paris that are booming as a result of an influx of migrants, equity investments and the expansion of urban infrastructure (e.g. airports and rapid transit systems).
