À partir de l'étude approfondie des manuels de Géographie et d'Histoire de la réforme de Jules Ferry à nos jours, on remarque que les représentations de la Chine et des Chinois ont beaucoup évolué. Cela s'explique, d'une part, par l'histoire contemporaine chinoise qui apporte sans cesse de nouveaux éléments que l'on essaye de traiter dans les livres d'école ; mais aussi, d'autre part, par l'influence qu'exerce les différentes politiques extérieures de la France, et les idéologies qu'elles véhiculent, sur l'écriture des ouvrages. Néanmoins, il ne faut pas oublier que certaines données et représentations sur la Chine demeurent de 1882 à 2012.

This paper is a theoretical contribution to interrogate and elucidate a term commonly used (but rarely inter-rogated) from the perspective of the economic geography field within which we work: peripheries. As researchers of "peripheries" we are all too familiar with the fuzziness and problematic nature of this term, and our long-standing research agenda is to work towards clarifying and nuancing it, addressing its role in either stigma-tizing or assuming some predetermined destiny for different regions and territories. This paper reviews the work conducted on peripheries within economic geography, and identifies a number of gaps or problems in the way in which this term is used. The paper proposes a way forwards for addressing these problems, in a series of "suggestions" as to how we can do better in researching economic geographies of peripheries. The final dis-cussion reorients our debate towards possible avenues for the research community to anchor peripheries in theoretical advancements and a more systemic approach to empirical investigations. Finally, this paper proposes a holistic framework for studying peripheries in economic geography, which take into account environmental, socio-cultural, and political elements as well as pure economic issues.

The existence and persistence of regional disparities between European regions require context-tailored policies to promote structural change. This book explores the congruence between place-based development and regional competitiveness in the EU context. Drawing on a range of social science disciplines, this book unpicks the complexity of regional transformation processes, aiming to enhance the applicability and transferability of theoretical approaches to innovation and place-based regional development in diverse European territorial settings. The contributors have a particular focus on less-favoured regions and on the application of Smart Specialisation -- a strategic approach to innovation-based regional development -- to the issues at hand. The book comes at a critical moment, meeting the growing demand of academics, practitioners and policymakers with an interest in promoting regional economic growth and well-being
