“…By the late 1970s more theory-oriented papers on regional development began to emerge which showed geographers questioning the utility of applying development models derived from experiences of the west to Third World countries (e.g. Vogeler, 1976;Nwafor, 1979;Abumere, 1980;Auty, 1985).…”

This paper reviews the articles published on human geography in the Journal since its inception, and focuses on the contributions made in the major fields of research. In the earlier years of the Journal, the themes of tropical agriculture, population and settlement geography, and historical geography were particularly strong, as was a concern with humanenvironment relationships. Over the years, articles on urban and regional planning, transport and communications, tourism and recreation, and in social geography were also published, reflecting the increasing spread of themes covered. One of the most significant dimensions of change in the Journal has been a shift from a descriptive orientation of the articles to one emphasizing theory development and evaluation.

“…The fact that the journal's birth coincided with the postwar era of formal decolonization meant that it became a vehicle for reflections on postcolonialism, the pangs of development, tropical environmental processes and the spatial translation of modernization (see, for example, McGee, 1963; Coppock, 1966; Leinbach, 1974). Hence SJTG served as a platform for many indigenous voices of the then so‐called third world (for example, Mabogunje, 1959; Sandhu, 1964; Abumere, 1980; Salih, 1982), as well as for many scholars from the ‘first world’ who found their academic calling in interrogating human–nature and spatial relationships across tropical environments. In some ways the journal represented a de facto ‘developmental’ subtheme, investigating the developmental challenges within the conceptual architecture of geopolitical realities of cold war politics (Drakakis‐Smith, 1993; Watts, 1993).…”
