Evolutionary Economic Geography Theoretical and Empirical Progress

Evolutionary Economic Geography Theoretical and Empirical Progress

Economic geographers increasingly consider the significance of history in shaping the contemporary socio-economic landscape and believe that experiences and competencies acquired over time by individuals and entities in particular localities to a large degree determine present configurations as well as future regional trajectories. Attempts to trace understand and investigate the pathways from past to present have given rise to the thriving and exciting sub-field of Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG). EEG highlights the important factors that initiate inhibit or consolidate the contextual settings and relationships in which regions and their respective agents which comprise and shape economic activity and social reproduction change over time. It has at its core the production and destruction of novelty in space and the links between innovation and regional economic fortunes. The creation of knowledge its movement and recombination within different regional ensembles of economic agents and institutions plays a critical role in the evolution of the space-economy. EEG provides a framework to disentangle the complexity of technological change and regional economic development based on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. In only a short time EEG has established itself as a promising and rapidly evolving research framework with its focus on the driving forces of regional development across various scales and its attempt to translate findings into public policy. This book advances the theoretical foundations of EEG and demonstrates how EEG utilises and operationalises conceptual frameworks both established and new. Contributions also point to future research avenues and extensions of EEG attempting to build stronger ties between theory empirical evidence and relevance to policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Regional Studies. | Evolutionary Economic Geography Theoretical and Empirical Progress

Cybercrime in Progress Theory and prevention of technology-enabled offenses

Cybercrime in Progress Theory and prevention of technology-enabled offenses

The emergence of the World Wide Web smartphones and computers has transformed the world and enabled individuals to engage in crimes in a multitude of new ways. Criminological scholarship on these issues has increased dramatically over the last decade as have studies on ways to prevent and police these offenses. This book is one of the first texts to provide a comprehensive review of research regarding cybercrime policing and enforcing these offenses and the prevention of various offenses as global change and technology adoption increases the risk of victimization around the world. Drawing on a wide range of literature Holt and Bossler offer an extensive synthesis of numerous contemporary topics such as theories used to account for cybercrime policing in domestic and transnational contexts cybercrime victimization and issues in cybercrime prevention. The findings provide a roadmap for future research in cybercrime policing and technology and discuss key controversies in the existing research literature in a way that is otherwise absent from textbooks and general cybercrime readers.

Verifying Nuclear Disarmament

Verifying Nuclear Disarmament

Fifty years into the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) regime the risks of nuclear war terrorism and the threat of further proliferation remain. A lack of significant progress towards disarmament will cast doubt upon the viability of the NPT. By recognizing that certain fissile materials are essential to every nuclear weapon and that controlling their usage provides the foundation for international efforts to limit their spread this book presents a comprehensive framework for nuclear disarmament. Based upon phased reductions Shea provides a mechanism for the disposal of weapon-origin fissile material and controls on peaceful nuclear activities and non-explosive military uses. He explores the technological means for monitoring and verification the legal arrangements required to provide an enduring foundation and a financial structure which will enable progress. This book will be invaluable to professional organizations arms control NGOs government officials scientists and politicians. It will also appeal to academics and postgraduate researchers working on security studies disarmament diplomacy and the politics and science of verification. | Verifying Nuclear Disarmament

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

From Here to Sustainability Politics in the Real World

From Here to Sustainability Politics in the Real World

For a large proportion of the electorate national politics misses the real issues. As a result membership of campaigning organizations has soared whilst party numbers have declined. This work distils the principles and priorities of many of the leading voluntary groups into a strong and coherent programme of political aims and actions. The problem can be measured as a sustainability gap - between official policies and achievements and actual democratic participation environmental restoration and the eradication of poverty. With examples and short case studies the book translates the gap into practical and realistic recommendations for progress. | From Here to Sustainability Politics in the Real World
