Megaregions: foundations, frailties, futures
chapter
posted on 2015-01-09, 10:24 authored by John HarrisonJohn Harrison, Michael HoylerMichael HoylerIn the first section we aim
to critically examine the foundations upon which the megaregion discourse has been
constructed. In so doing, we conceptualize the position occupied by the megaregion in
debates prior to the onset of globalization, and then discuss how the concept has been
reawakened during globalization. The second section then explores four separate, yet
interrelated, lines of argumentation which cut into the megaregional debate as it is
currently constructed and form the basis for developing a more critical approach toward
megaregional research. We conclude with some cautionary remarks about the
challenges and opportunities for near-future megaregional research.
