(The Dynamics of Economic Space)
by Luca Storti (Editor), Giulia Urso (Editor), Neil Reid (Editor)
Presenting
multidisciplinary and global insights, this book explores the nexus
between economies, institutions, and territories and how global
phenomena have local consequences.
It examines how
original and innovative economic related processes embed themselves in
societies at the local level; how boundaries between the state and the
market are placed under stress by unexpected changes. It explores
whether new types of elites and forms of social inequalities are
emerging as a result of institutional and economic changes, and whether
peripheral areas are experiencing insidious forms of economic and
institutional lock-in. Presenting empirical cases and useful analytical
and conceptual tools, the book makes current economic and territorial
phenomena more understandable.
This is an important
read for students and scholars in the fields of geography, sociology,
political sciences, anthropology, economics, regional science, and
international relations. It is also a valuable resource for
policymakers, well-educated lay readers and economic, political and
international relations journalists.
