Abstract: Place Peripheral examines regional development in rural, island, and remote communities from a place-based approach. This edited volume addresses themes that are receiving considerable attention in Canada and internationally as researchers and public policy analysts alike strive to better understand and apply place and place-based strategies in rural and remote regions. The volume and its contributors examine place-based economic development strategies but move beyond a naive and narrow focus on commodi!- cation to recognize the broader and deeper signifcance, meanings, and attachments often associated with place. The chapters interrogate such relationships as may exist among sense of place, cultural and social development, and environmental stewardship, for example. This introduction argues for the importance of examining place and its role in development within the contemporary periphery, and thus outlines the timely and important contribution of this volume. It also reviews the organization of the volume and introduces the individual chapters.
