Abstract

Petrov A. N. Redrawing the margin: re-examining regional multichotomies and conditions of marginality in Canada, Russia and their Northern Frontiers, Regional Studies . This paper pursues four objectives: to conceptualize and identify organizational logics of space-economy and dimensions of regional differentiation; to identify regional conditions of marginality and group regions along the core--periphery--margin continuum; to examine regional differences within the Norths; and to compare marginal regions in the Canadian versus Russian North. The analysis is based on the multichotomic view of core--periphery--margin relationships that rests on multiscalar, multiscale, and multicentre interpretation of regional polarities. The regional structures of Canada and Russia are ‘remapped’ and it is shown that a great degree of resemblance is shared. The contemporary North is an economically marginalized and fractured, but also a strikingly similar, space. Petrov A. N. Redessiner les limites: r�examiner les multichotomies r�gionales et les conditions de la marginalit� au Canada, en Russie et à leurs frontières septentrionales, Regional Studies . Cet article poursuit quatre objecifs: conceptualiser et identifier la logique organisationnelle de l'espace-�conomie et l'importance de la diff�renciation r�gionale; identifier les conditions de la marginalit� et regrouper les r�gions le long du continuum centre--p�riph�rie-limites; examiner les �carts r�gionaux au sein des zones septentrionales; et comparer les r�gions marginales des zones septentrionales canadiennes à celles des zones septentrionales russes. L'analyse est fond�e sur le point de vue multichotomique des raports centre--p�riph�rie-limites et qui d�pend d'une interpr�tation de la polarsiation r�gionale à scalaires, à �chelles et à centres multiples. On ‘refait’ la carte des structures r�gionales canadiennes et russes, et on montre qu'il existe un degr� de similarit�. La zone septentrionale contemporaine s'avère un espace �conomiquement marginalis� et fissur�, mais à la fois remarquablement similaire.

Neudefinition des Randes: eine erneute Überprüfung der regionalen Gegensätze und der Bedingungen der Marginalität in Kanada, Russland und deren nördlichen Grenzen, Regional Studies . Mit diesem Beitrag werden vier Ziele verfolgt: eine Konzeptualisierung und Identifizierung der organisationellen Logik der Raumwirtschaft und der Dimensionen der regionalen Differenzierung, eine Identifizierung der regionalen Bedingungen der Marginalität und Gruppierung der Regionen entlang dem Kontinuum Kern--Peripherie-Rand, eine Untersuchung der regionalen Unterschiede zwischen den nördlichen Regionen und ein Vergleich der marginalen Regionen im Norden Kanadas und Russlands. Die Analyse basiert auf einer gegensätzlichen Sicht der Beziehungen zwischen Kern, Peripherie und Rand, die auf einer multiskalaren bzw. auf mehreren Maßstäben und Zentren gründenden Interpretation der regionalen Polaritäten aufbaut. Die regionalen Strukturen in Kanada und Russland werden neu kartiert, wobei sich zahlreiche Ähnlichkeiten herausstellen. Der moderne Norden ist ein wirtschaftlich marginalisierter und frakturierter, aber auch überraschend ähnlicher Raum. Regionalstruktur Peripherie Russland Kanada Kr äfte der regionalen Differenzierung Petrov A. N. Nueva definición de margen: un reexamen de las multicotom�as regionales y las condiciones de marginalidad en Canadá, Rusia y las fronteras norteñas, Regional Studies . En este art�culo perseguimos cuatro objetivos: conceptualizar e identificar las lógicas organizativas de la econom�a espacial y las dimensiones de la diferenciación regional; identificar las condiciones regionales de marginalidad y agrupar las regiones a lo largo de la secuencia de centro, periferia y margen; examinar las diferencias entre las regiones norteñas; y comparar las regiones marginales al norte de Canadá en comparación con el norte de Rusia. Este análisis se basa en la perspectiva multicotómica de las relaciones entre el centro, la periferia y el margen que se basa en la interpretación multiescalar, de varias escalas, y multic�ntrica de las polaridades regionales. Tras reexaminar las estructuras regionales de Canadá y Rusia, se observa que comparten muchas caracter�sticas similares. El norte contemporáneo es una región con una econom�a marginalizada y fracturada pero tambi�n un espacio sorprendentemente similar.
