  • More about Political Geography of Cities and Regions: Changing Legitimacy and Identity

This book explores the relationship between legitimacy and identity from a relational and territorial perspective,applying it to the metropolitan regions of Amsterdam and Ruhr in the Netherlands and Germany over 500 years. It argues that identity and political legitimacy are embedded in history and that both perspectives are time and place dependent. It provides valuable insights for advanced students, researchers, and policymakers.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 174 pages
Publication date: 09 October 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This monograph presents a novel typology of relational and territorial perspectives on legitimacy and identity, which is then applied to two different political and historical contexts: the trajectories of the metropolitan region Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the metropolitan region Ruhr in Germany. The historical discussion spans 500 years, providing valuable depth to the study.

Taken as a whole, the book provides a new perspective within the territorial-relational dichotomy and the geographies of discontent debate. Its key insights are that identity and political legitimacy are embedded in history and that both relational and territorial perspectives on these issues are time and place dependent.

This book will be stimulating reading for advanced students, researchers, and policymakers working in political geography, human geography, regional studies, and broader social and political sciences.
