• Regional Insights is a magazine published by the Regional Studies Association which seeks to make research findings from early career researchers more accessible to a wider audience. Complementing the Association's existing publications, Regional Insights emphasises helping contributors to shape their research into a story which will entertain, engage and inform readers drawn from across academia, policy-makers and practitioners in the field of regional studies. Each issue endeavours to provide coverage of regional issues from across the globe, and to help place-specific issues and findings participate in a more general conversation around issues in Regional Studies
  
  The first publication, Issue 1 Volume 1, will be sent to our members in the Summer 2010.
