Abstract

The work examines «What happens in regional sciences? Scores and reflections from the “Osserva-torio Studi Economici e Sociali: RIVISTA DI VITA ECONOMICA””, putting in relation the territorial dimension with the relevant economic and institutional aspects. With great satisfaction from the Director of the Aisre, who promoted it, and the Editorial Committee, who conceived it, created and realized it, the magazine gradually received more and more consent and success. REVIEW OF ECONOMIC LIFE does not erode the use of other journals, other instruments, but rather diversifies, expands, expands, expands the range of dissemination of regional sciences and, in line with its mission, strives to establish new bridges with other disciplines, institutions, actors. In this regard encouraging signs came from participants in the policy sessions of the last Aisre conference, which, by sending their contributions to the magazine, seem to have fully grasped the potential of Economic and Social Studies: REVIEW OF Regional LIFE 2. Within the regional sciences, the vocation to the multidisciplinary nature and interdisciplinary nature of the analytical perspective remains strong, irresistible, as well documented by the various academic backgrounds of the authors who have published here.
