The A. provides a general overview about the restructuring spatial pattern of peripheral areas in Central Europe. The Visegrad Countries are regarded as Central European countries, in this case, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary
are involved. Major methodological problems hampered the process of data collection and the comparison of different delimitations of peripheral areas in different countries. However, a general overview could have been made in order to detect the most important
alterations of the spatial structures of the investigated countries. The territorial structures of peripheral areas during the socialist era and nowadays were compared to each other. The changes in the location of peripheral areas reflect back the increasing
role and the influence of the capital cities and the largest towns and the ongoing development of the Western territories. - (AM)

African socialism and urban development: the relocation of the Tanzanian capital

The geographical structure of capitalism at the origin of cultural protest against globalization as expressed in contemporary politics of identity

The A. argues that the failure of capitalism to bring about universal prosperity is at the origin of the rise of the politics of identity. It fails to secure decent living conditions for unskilled workers in the core states of Western Europe
, and opportunities for social mobility for the equivalent of the European middle-class in the (semi)peripheral states. An analysis of three cases of politics of identity (islamism, Hindu nationalism and extreme right-wing nationalism in Europe) corroborates this view
Canada ; Capitalism ; Collective bargaining ; Economic restructuring ; Industrial organization ; Industry ; Production ; Trade unionism ; Work organization
The paper begins with a brief overview of how researchers have theorized the effects of capital's (re)organization of production on the geographies of trade unionism. Following a conceptual outline of the emergence of community unionism, two
examples of Canadian labor unions actively seeking formal coalitions with groups peripheralized by the same processes of economic restructuring are presented. The cases of Canadian postal workers and homeworkers in the garment industry demonstrate
that alternative approaches to labor organization can overcome the imposed spatial reorganization of capitalism and allow workers and communities to produce more preferable economic geographies.
