Abstract

This paper introduces a collection of short essays on "New Directions in Regional Science" based on commentaries delivered at the 37th annual meeting of the Southern Regional Science Association in Savannah, Georgia, 1998. In response to the idea of crisis in earlier reviews of regional science, I also suggest that ongoing methodological debates in geography and economics provide many opportunities for regional science in the future. Others are optimistic about an applied regional science.
