- Abstract
This paper develops a multidimensional methodological framework for examining the geographical handicaps and associated socioeconomic drawbacks of nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) III regions in Greece to conceive diverse dimensions of peripherality and target the de‐peripheralization of peripheral regions. Building on the network paradigm, empirical analysis, and policy assessment, the analysis sheds light on the unique characteristics and challenges experienced by inland, island, coastal, and borderline regions across the multiple dimensions and conceives a tailored mix of policy measures to address the specific needs and catalyze development in each region. The proposed methodological framework provides a roadmap for understanding the complex interplay between geographical and socioeconomic dynamics and policy interventions, offering methodological and empirical insights for regional policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders toward a more prosperous and equitable regional development landscape.
