Critical Surveys is a periodic section that comprises agenda-setting work, timely reviews and grouped contributions and dialogue around important and emergent themes in regional studies. Some of these papers are specially commissioned.

The aim of the Critical Surveys section is to promote academic critiques of significant developments in regional research, policy and practice, based on reviews of internationally recognised literature and studies. The role of editor is to encourage the submission of such articles that are based on sound theory and argument; to assist authors in developing high standards of quality and rigour, and to oversee the process by which the contributions are subject to the full Regional Studies refereeing process.

The Regional Studies Association makes a financial contribution towards editorial expenses incurred but the post of editor is honorary.
