Abstract
The contributions in this special edition of Regions include a selection of five papers taken from a total of fifteen papers presented at a seminar of the Regional Studies Association’s international research network on Leadership in Urban and Regional Development. The event was held at the University of Birmingham, UK between 12-13th November 2015 (for a separate Research Network Report, please refer to pages 30-1 of this issue).
The five papers included in this edition result from the challenge to explore different conceptions and meanings of the term ‘leadership’ in urban and regional studies; the relative strengths and weaknesses of different methodological approaches to the study of urban and regional development leadership; and how to aid understanding and categorization by explaining the many varieties of leadership found in sub-national settings.
