“…Anssi Paasi's work, for example, highlights the complex processes through which regions (including peripheries) are shaped and negotiated within social networks of power (Paasi, 1995; emphasising in particular what he calls the "fragmented complexity of agency" within region-building (Paasi, 2010(Paasi, : 2300, including those of actors within peripheral areas who negotiate the meaning of and their own position within the centre-periphery relation (Paasi, 1995;Paasi, 2010Paasi, : 2229. Meyer and Miggelbrink (2013) argue in this context for the need for a subjectcentred approach to better understand peripheralisation processes. Against the established understanding of peripheral actors as economically dependent, powerless and thus insignificant (Blowers and Leroy, 1994;Barlösius and Neu, 2008) this approach recovers the responses and agency of peripheral populations in relation to peripheralisation processes and has the potential to shed light on the micro-dynamics and tactics of getting by, "domesticating" and resisting peripheralisation processes that have been the focus of research on post-socialist post-industrial and rural places particularly in the first decade of transition (Buraway et al, 2000;Rainnie et al, 2002; for more recent studies see Round et al, 2008;Round and Williams 2010;Stenning et al, 2010;Nagy et al, 2015).…”
