项目摘要

Social and spatial inequalities between and within core and peripheral regions have re-emerged as a major economic and political issue in developed economies. Such divisions have generated economic and social discontent and growing levels of political support for populist and nationalist parties in peripheral regions, particularly certain old industrial areas. This turmoil fuelled the Brexit vote in the UK and the election of Donald Trump in the US as well as support for the Rassemblement National (National Rally) and Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) in France and the Alternative für Deutschland in Germany. In response, researchers, commentators and politicians have voiced concerns about the places 'left behind' by globalisation, technological and economic change. While welcome in increasing the political visibility of social and spatial inequalities, the 'left behind' category risks hiding and over-simplifying the different experiences and development paths of people and places.The aim of the project is to develop a new understanding of demographic and socio-economic change in peripheral regions, examining the circumstances and prospects of places and people currently categorised together as 'left behind'. It will advance understandings of peripheralisation as an on-going process driven by the geographical concentration of people and prosperity in large urban centres alongside the decline or stagnation of other regions. The research is concerned with inner peripheries defined by their disconnection from external territories and networks, particularly urban regions and intermediate areas close to cities experiencing demographic and socio-economic stagnation or decline.Taking an approach that compares the experiences of France, Germany and the UK in their western European context, the research has four objectives: i) To understand the distinctive circumstances and development pathways of peripheral regions, overcoming the tendency to subsume different kinds of places beneath the broad category of 'left behind'; ii) To assess the relationships between the population dynamics of peripheral regions and socio-economic, health and political outcomes, covering both people moving from, and staying within, peripheral regions to redress the existing research bias towards migration between regions; iii) To examine the livelihood activities and practices of residents in peripheral regions, remedying the neglect of how 'ordinary' people deal with peripherality;iv) To identify new policy responses that combine conventional and alternative perspectives, moving beyond the reliance upon growing larger cities and spreading their prosperity to surrounding regions.Using a range of research methods and a cross-national research design, the research team will address these objectives by undertaking the following tasks: i) Identifying and categorising peripheral regions across western Europe to identify their different pathways of development and the key dimensions and processes of concentration and peripheralisation, drawing upon international and national secondary quantitative data;ii) Investigating the different experiences and outcomes for people moving from, and staying in, peripheral regions in France, Germany and the UK using secondary quantitative data;iii) Examining people's everyday livelihood strategies and practices in peripheral regions through six neighbourhood case studies (two per country) based on semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, livelihood infrastructures mapping, and focus groups;iv) Assessing current and informing future policy approaches to address the varied situations of peripheral regions through analysing secondary documentation and key actor interviews.v) Synthesising findings, relating them to the overall project aim and objectives, and writing up the project's research outputs (8 international journal articles, 1 monograph and policy report).

核心区域与外围区域之间和内部的社会和空间不平等再次成为发达经济体的一个重大经济和政治问题。这种分裂导致了经济和社会的不满，以及对周边地区，特别是某些老工业区的民粹主义和民族主义政党的政治支持不断增加。这场动荡推动了英国的脱欧公投和美国的唐纳德·特朗普当选，以及法国的国民联盟（Rassemblement National）和黄背心（Gilets Jaunes）以及德国的德国选择党（Alternative für Deutschland）的支持。作为回应，研究人员、评论员和政治家们对全球化、技术和经济变革“落后”的地方表示担忧。“留守”类别在提高社会和空间不平等的政治可见度方面受到欢迎，但也存在隐藏和过度简化人与地方的不同经历和发展道路的风险。该项目的目的是对周边地区的人口和社会经济变化形成新的理解，研究目前被归类为“留守”的地方和人的情况和前景。它将促进对边缘化的理解，这是一个持续的过程，由人口的地理集中和大城市中心的繁荣以及其他地区的衰落或停滞所驱动。该研究关注的是与外部领土和网络脱节的内边缘地区，特别是城市地区和靠近城市的中间地区，这些地区正在经历人口和社会经济的停滞或衰退。该研究采用了一种方法，比较了法国、德国和英国在西欧背景下的经验，研究有四个目标：i）了解周边地区的独特情况和发展途径，克服将不同类型的地方归入“落后”这一宽泛类别的倾向; ㈡评估周边地区人口动态与社会经济、卫生和政治结果之间的关系，包括迁出和留在周边地区的人口，（三）研究周边地区居民的生计活动和实践，纠正对“普通”人如何处理周边问题的忽视;（四）确定结合联合收割机传统观点和替代观点的新对策，超越对不断增长的大城市的依赖，并将其繁荣扩展到周边地区。使用一系列研究方法和交叉-根据国家研究设计，研究小组将通过开展以下任务来实现这些目标：i）利用国际和国家二级定量数据，对西欧周边地区进行识别和分类，以确定其不同的发展道路以及集中和边缘化的关键维度和过程; ㈡利用次级定量数据，调查来自和留在法国、德国和联合王国周边地区的人的不同经历和结果; ㈢通过六个社区案例研究，审查周边地区人民的日常生计战略和做法根据半结构化访谈、非参与性观察、生计基础设施测绘和重点小组，（每个国家两次）;（四）通过分析次级文件和与主要行为者的访谈，评估当前的政策方针，并为今后的政策方针提供信息，以处理周边地区的各种情况。
