Abstract
ABSTRACT This brief article serves as an introduction to the five articles of this special issue which developed from the Exploratory Workshop: Urban Governance and its Disorders: Corruption in the Cities held at the Centre for Urban History, University of Leicester on the 27 April 2018 and sponsored by the International Journal of Regional and Local History. I should like to thank Professor Krista Cowman (University of Lincoln) and Professor Simon Gunn (University of Leicester) for their support in making the workshop possible and also to sponsor this collection of articles in this special issue.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
