Presentation
Redes – The Journal of Regional Development is a publication issued issued regularly every three months by Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento Regional da Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul – RS/Brasil. The journal is managed and published by Centro de Pesquisas em Desenvolvimento Regional – CEPEDER, its editorial policy aims to disseminate knowledge about social development, economic, cultural, political-institutional and technological processes that compose the regional space.

The first issue of journal REDES was published in July 1996. From 2007 on, it was published in electronic format, hosted by Portal de Periódicos Online da Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul and supported by SEER Sistema de Editoração Eletrônica de Revistas do IBICT.

Redes accepts theoretical and empirical nature articles that approach the processes of regional development through reflections and analysis about its different aspects and dimensions, such as the understanding of territorial dynamics, considering the different scales of action and analysis of socio-spatial processes, the historical-cultural diversity of the territory, the strategies and instruments of territorial planning and management, in the different dimensions of sustainability involved; the study of institutional capacities at its various levels, to take initiative, mediate and regulate territorial management processes; the analysis of conflicts, tensions and the production of consensuses between public power and social agents; and analysis of regional productive activity with emphasis on agents and social and economic organizations, forms of cooperation and conflicts, configured in different modes of organization of production and the market, among others.

The manuscripts must be unpublished and on subjects related to the field of studies on regional development, from the social and human sciences, notably urban and regional planning, geography, economics, sociology, political science, social communication, law, history, social service and tourism, among other disciplinary areas, as long as they address in a central way the theme of regional development.

In 2017, the digital edition of the printed editions that made up the first ten years (1996 to 2006) of Redes magazine was launched in a total of 33 editions now available for free access through the SEER platform.
