Abstract: Abstract Peripherality generally connotes distance, difference and dependency. A typical periphery is geographically remote, economically lagging, dependent upon external political and industrial decision-making, and culturally obsolete. In this vein, the paired antinomy “centre versus periphery” is often used to loosely characterise asymmetrical relationships and the disparities of regional systems.
