Provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamics of contemporary natural resource based livelihoods in the marginal, drought-prone Kalahari environment of southern Africa where access to land and natural resources reflects the outcome of a long history of competition, conflict, and territorial appropriation in which sustainable livelihoods are compromised by the commercial demands of the global economy. This book contributes to both academic and policy development debates which interface the social-environment nexus.

There are now more than three hundred city-regions around the world with populations of more than one million. As globalization intensifies, these city-regions come to pose many new questions and problems. This book presents a highly-original and multifaceted review of these issues by some of the leading researchers in the field.

Der Bericht 2004 bringt die Analysen des ersten Benchmarking-Berichts von 2001 auf den neuesten Stand. Er untersucht anhand einer breiten Zusammenstellung von Zahlen und Fakten die Entwicklung von Beschaftigung und Arbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland im Vergleich zu den OECD-Landern und geht der Frage nach, inwieweit konjunkturelle, in erster Linie aber institutionelle Faktoren hierauf einwirken. Konkret stellt der Bericht die wesentlichen Kennziffern aus den Bereichen Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik, Arbeitszeit- und Arbeitsmarktregulierung, Unternehmertatigkeit, Lohn- und Tarifpolitik, Bildung sowie Innovation und Makrookonomie dar. Insbesondere zeigt er auf, inwieweit die jungsten Reformen in Deutschland zur Behebung von Schwachen im deutschen Beschaftigungssystem beigetragen haben oder entsprechende Effekte zu erwarten sind und wo weiterhin Handlungsbedarf besteht. Daruber hinaus weist er auf bewahrte Praktiken im Ausland hin, die als Anregungen in die deutsche Reformdiskussion einfliessen konnten."

The first volume of The Cambridge Economic History of the Modern World traces the emergence of modern economic growth in eighteenth century Britain and its spread across the globe. Focusing on the period from 1700 to 1870, a team of leading experts in economic history offer a series of regional studies from around the world, as well as thematic analyses of key factors governing the differential outcomes in different parts of the global economy. Topics covered include population and human development, capital and technology, geography and institutions, living standards and inequality, international flows of trade and labour, the international monetary system, and war and empire.

In der Sektoruntersuchung Stromerzeugung/Stromgrosshandel halt das Bundeskartellamt an dem Konzept des sogenannten Erstabsatzmarktes fest. Die Autoren stellen die Diskrepanz zwischen dem der Marktabgrenzung zugrundeliegenden und dem tatsachlichen Marktgeschehen und die daraus resultierende Fehlerhaftigkeit der Marktabgrenzung des Amtes dar. Die im Rahmen der Sektoruntersuchung entwickelte, auf ein oekonometrisches Instrument gestutzte Rechtsfigur der Einzelmarktbeherrschung durch mehrere Unternehmen erscheint weder rechtlich noch oekonomisch tragfahig. Methodische Defizite treten hinzu. Daher ist nach Ansicht der Autoren der vom Bundeskartellamt in der Sektoruntersuchung eingeschlagene aufwendige Weg ungeeignet zur Begrundung der Marktbeherrschung elektrizitatserzeugender Unternehmen.

In the context of great economic turmoil and uncertainty, the emergent conflict between continued globalisation and growing economic nationalism means that a geographical economic perspective has never been so important. An Introduction to Economic Geography guides students through the key debates of this vibrant area, exploring the range of ideas and approaches that invigorate the wider discipline. This third edition includes new chapters on finance, cities and the digital economy, consumption and the environment. Underpinned by the themes of globalisation, uneven development and place, the text conveys the diversity of contemporary economic geography and explores the social and spatial effects of global economic restructuring. It combines a critical geographical perspective on the changing economic landscape with an appreciation of contemporary themes such as neoliberalism, financialisation, innovation and the growth of new technologies. An Introduction to Economic Geography is an essential textbook for undergraduate students taking courses in Economic Geography, Globalisation Studies and more broadly in Human Geography. It will also be of much interest to those in Planning, Business and Management Studies and Economics.

This breakthrough scientific masterwork - and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - reveals the underlying forces that have shaped human history and will secure our future... 'Masterful. Galor answers the ultimate mystery' Lewis Dartnell The stunning advances that have transformed human experience in recent centuries are no accident of history - they are the result of universal and timeless forces, operating since the dawn of our species. Drawing on a lifetime's scientific investigation, Oded Galor's ground-breaking new vision overturns a host of long-held assumptions to reveal the deeper causes that have shaped the journey of humanity: Education rather than industrialisation Family size and gender equality as much as inventions and technology Geography and diversity rather than wars, disease and famine 'Unparalleled in its scope and ambition . . . All readers will learn something' Washington Post 'An inspiring, readable, jargon-free and almost impossibly erudite masterwork' New Statesman 'His optimism about humanity shines through' Observer 'If you need an evidence-based antidote to doomscrolling, here it is' Guardian

Digital information and data flows permeate every aspect of our society. Within this context, design extensively avails itself of the technological bounty of advanced digital tools. Yet beyond these tools, the fluidity of digital information and the seemingly immaterial nature of communication dominate most discussions. Understanding the contemporary networks of information and communication as inherently geographic, Geographies of Information attempts to realign design's relationship to information and communication technologies (ICTs) by expounding on their multiscalar complexities and contextual intricacies. From the impact of digital social media on political action and the rise of predictive technologies in speculative real estate to new ways of mapping temporal conditions of a site and the evolving role of information in how designers see, understand, and act on space, ICTs exert critical influence. This issue of New Geographies examines the forms, imprints, places, and territories of ICTs through spatially grounded and nuanced accounts of the hybrid conditions that ICTs generate, the scales at which they operate, and how this production of space is manifested in both advanced and emerging economies.

Work-Life Advantage analyses how employer-provision of family-friendly working arrangements - designed to help workers better reconcile work, home and family - can also enhance firms capacities for learning and innovation, in pursuit of long-term competitive advantage and socially inclusive growth. * Brings together major debates in labour geography, feminist geography, and regional learning in novel ways, through a focus on the shifting boundaries between work, home, and family * Addresses a major gap in the scholarly research surrounding the narrow business case for work-life balance by developing a more socially progressive, workerist dual agenda * Challenges and disrupts masculinist assumptions of the ideal worker and the associated labour market marginalization of workers with significant home and family commitments * Based on 10 years of research with over 300 IT workers and 150 IT firms in the UK and Ireland, with important insights for professional workers and knowledge-intensive companies around the world

Der EG-Binnenmarkt ist Wirklichkeit. Wozu noch ein weiteres Buch zu dieser Thematik? In der Tat ist im Vorfeld der Vollendung des Europaischen Binnenmarktes viel tiber seine wirtschaftlichen Vorteile fur die Volkwirtschaften, die Untemehmen und natiirlich die Biirger geschrieben worden. Nun sind die Barrieren fur den freien Warenverkehr gefallen. Vielen Untemehmen und manchen Biirgem wird es jetzt erst so recht bewuBt, was mit diesem historischen Ereignis am 1. 1. 1993 auf sie zugekommen ist. Gerade in dieser Situation, wo der Binnenmarkt Realitat ist, treten viele Fragen auf, die einer Antwort bediirfen. Mit diesem Buch mochte ich zu ihrer Kliirung beitragen. SchlieBlich geht es mir auch urn eine ausgewogene Darstellung des Erreichten; eine Bilanz also, in der klar sichtbar wird, wo der Binnenmarkt noch nicht vollendet ist. So manches blieb hinter den Erwartungen zuruck. Die Vollendung des Binnenmarktes fiel in eine Zeit, die von Hektik und zahlrei chen Turbulenzen in der Europaischen Gemeinschaft gepragt war. In der Tat steht die EG an einem Wendepunkt, wo naturgemiill vieles in Frage gestellt wird. Hier ging es mir darum, prazise die Defizite von den bewiihrten Praktiken und positi ven Erfahrungen in der Entwicklung der EG zu trennen. Mit der Wahl des Titels "Binnenmarkt Europa" verbinde ich die gesamteuropai sche Dimension in der Aufgabenstellung der nachsten Jahre. Daher lege ich besonderen Wert auf die Herausarbeitungjener Probleme, die mit der Einbindung der Wirtschaften Mittel- und Osteuropas in die Binnenmarktintegration vor der EG stehen. Die Assoziierungsabkommen sind ein erster Schritt in diese Richtung."

Economic corridors-ambitious infrastructural development projects that newly liberalizing countries in Asia and Africa are undertaking-are dramatically redefining the shape of urbanization. Spanning multiple cities and croplands, these corridors connect metropolises via high-speed superhighways in an effort to make certain strategic regions attractive destinations for private investment. As policy makers search for decentralized and market-oriented means for the transfer of land from agrarian constituencies to infrastructural promoters and urban developers, the reallocation of property control is erupting into volatile land-based social conflicts. In Shareholder Cities, Sai Balakrishnan argues that some of India's most decisive conflicts over its urban future will unfold in the regions along the new economic corridors where electorally strong agrarian propertied classes directly encounter financially powerful incoming urban firms. Balakrishnan focuses on the first economic corridor, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and the construction of three new cities along it. The book derives its title from a current mode of resolving agrarian-urban conflicts in which agrarian landowners are being transformed into shareholders in the corridor cities, and the distributional implications of these new land transformations. Shifting the focus of the study of India's contemporary urbanization away from megacities to these in-between corridor regions, Balakrishnan explores the production of uneven urban development that unsettles older histories of agrarian capitalism and the emergence of agrarian propertied classes as protagonists in the making of urban real estate markets. Shareholder Cities highlights the possibilities for a democratic politics of inclusion in which agrarian-urban encounters can create opportunities for previously excluded groups to stake new claims for themselves in the corridor regions.

As Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat reveal in this innovative book, volatile political events such as the 2008 Georgia-Russia confrontation--and their catastrophic effects on business--happen much more frequently than investors imagine. On the curve that charts both the frequency of these events and the power of their impact, the "tail" of extreme political instability is not reassuringly thin but dangerously fat.
Featuring a new Foreward that accounts for the cataclysmic effects of the 2008 financial crisis, The Fat Tail is the first book to both identify the wide range of political risks that global firms face and show investors how to effectively manage them. Written by two of the world's leading figures in political risk management, it reveals that while the world remains exceedingly risky for businesses, it is by no means incomprehensible. Political risk is unpredictable, but it is easier to analyze and manage than most people think. Applying the lessons of world history, Bremmer and Keat survey a vast range of contemporary risky situations, from stable markets like the United States or Japan, where politically driven regulation can still dramatically effect business, to more precarious places like Iran, China, Russia, Turkey, Mexico, and Nigeria, where private property is less secure and energy politics sparks constant volatility. The book sheds light on a wide array of political risks--risks that stem from great power rivalries, terrorist groups, government takeover of private property, weak leaders and internal strife, and even the "black swans" that defy prediction. But more importantly, the authors provide a wealth of unique methods, tools, and concepts to help corporations, money managers, and policy makers understand political risk, showing when and how political risk analysis works--and when it does not.
"The Fat Tail delivers practical wisdom on the impact of political risk on firms of every description and valuable advice on how to use it. Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat offer innovative thinking and useful insight that will help business decision-makers find fresh answers to questions they may not yet know they have."
--Fareed Zakaria, best-selling author of The Post-American World
"Political risk has become increasingly complex, and The Fat Tail provides a truly new way to quantitatively assess it in established and emerging markets. It is essential reading for any CEO with multinational interests."
--Randall Stephenson, Chairman, CEO and President, AT&T Inc.
"Should be essential reading for anyone involved in international business even--perhaps especially--in places that seem politically stable."
--Bill Emmott, former editor-in-chief of The Economist

Die zentrale Fragestellung dieser Arbeit uber den postrevolu- tionaren kubanischen Entwicklungsweg war, ob, wie und warum nach 1959 die Weichen in Richtung Oberwindung der Unterent- wicklung gestellt worden sind. In dem vorhandenen Vorverstand- nis wurde Oberwindung der unterentwicklung nicht einfach als Erhoehung der Investitionsrate und des wirtschaftlichen t'lachstums interpretiert, sondern als strukturelle Transformation der Pro- duktionsstruktur und Institutionen in Richtung auf eine auto- zentrierte Volkswirtschaft, d. h. auf eine differenzierte, relativ ausgeglichene und komplette (nicht im Sinn absoluter Vollstan- digkeit und Autarkie, sondern ohne strukturelle Defizite, so z. B. inklusive einer Kapitalguterindustrie), integrierte Produktions- struktur, mit Tendenz zur Oberwindung struktureller Heterogeni- tat und zur Steigerung der nationalen Steuerungs- und Anpas- sungsfahigkei t: IvJeine 'l'hese ist, dass dies gelungen ist, ob- WUllJ. z. 'l'. auf andere Weise als zunachst in den Voruberlegungen zu den Elementen und Bedingungen autQzentrierter Entwicklung vermutet. Wahrend in der vorrevolutionaren auslandisch dominierten Plan- tagenoekonomie die Kopplungseffekte des Zuckersektors latent blie- oen oder extern genutzt wurden und die Diversifizierung der anderen Wirtschaft strukturell behindert wurde, fungiert der Zuckersektor im postrevolutionaren Kuba in der mittelfristigen Planung als ein wirksamer Leitsektor, ohne die inkrementelle Diversi- fizj, erung der 'i irtschaft aus sQziooel gesamtwirtschaftliche Erfordernisse - stimmt.

Ein wesentliches Ergebnis des Zweiten Weltkrieges war die Teilung Europas in zwei unterschiedliche Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftssysteme. Die Systemgrenzen wurden durch Deutschland gezogen; die DDR wurde Teil des politischen Osteuropas. Ihre Grun dungsverfassung von 1949 sah die staatliche Planung der Wirtschaft vor; 1950 wurde die DDR Vollmitglied im Rat flir gegenseitige Wirtschaftshilfe (RGW). Die Verfassung von 1968 bezeichnet die Volkswirtschaft der DDR als "sozialistische Planwirtschaft." Mit der Annahme des "Komplexprogramms" im RGW 1971 beschlossen die osteuro paischen Staaten eine vertiefte Zusammenarbeit ihrer Volkswirtschaften mit dem Ziel der Integration. Die Umgestaltung von Wirtschaftssystem und Wirtschaftsorganisation sowie die Ausrichtung des Aussenhandels nach den Moglichkeiten und Bedurfnissen der osteuropaischen Partner kennzeichnen somit die Grundlinien der okonomischen Ent wicklung in der DDR. Die okonomische Struktur und Leistungsfahigkeit der DDR, ihre Erfolge und Miss erfolge werden im Westen Deutschlands aber nach wie vor vornehmlich am Wertesystem und an der Entwicklung der Buildesrepublik gemessen. Ihre Bedeutung im Rahmen des sozialistischen Weltsystems, ihre Rolle bei der sozialistischen okonomischen Integra tion dieser Lander, ihre Rangfolge in der wirtschaftlichen Leistung Osteuropas werden meist vernachlassigt. Grunde hierflir sind u. a. fehlende InfQrmationen und mangelnde Sprachkenntisse."

Can foreign capital empower dictatorship? This groundbreaking book develops a unified theory that links three prominent forms of international capital to the endurance of dictatorships. International capital empowers governments to finance two key instruments of non-democratic politics: repression and patronage. The Perils of International Capital uses theory, case studies, and cross-national statistical evidence to demonstrate causal effects between foreign capital and authoritarian politics. These finding are crucial to scholars and policymakers alike, as they call for a recalibration of the welfare effects associated with greater financial globalization. Ahmed reveals that, while foreign capital may improve economic development, it can tragically hinder democratic governance in the process.

In recent years, investors have learned the hard truth that in the international economy, politics often matters at least as much as economic fundamentals for the performance of global markets. Too many companies and investors haven't yet learned to read the warning signs: their expertise lies much more in economics than politics, and the temptation is to hope that highly volatile situations such as the 2008 Georgia-Russia confrontation will be few and far between. But as Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat demonstrate, these scenarios--and their catastrophic effects on business--happen much more frequently than we imagine. On the curve that charts both the frequency of these events and the power of their impact, the 'tail' of extreme political instability is not reassuringly thin but dangerously fat.

Authored by Ian Bremmer (author of the bestselling The J-Curve) and Preston Keat, the president and research director (respectively) of Eurasia Group, the world's leading political risk consultancy firm, The Fat Tail is an indispensable guide for anyone involved in the international economy.

"Combes, Mayer, and Thisse have just given me an indispensable teaching tool and a great text for my students. Their book offers the most up-to-date, balanced, comprehensive treatment of both theoretical and empirical research."--Kiminori Matsuyama, Northwestern University

"In the field of geographical economics, this is exactly the kind of book that I have been waiting for. After presenting lucid and comprehensive coverage of the current state of theory, it provides the modern methodology for measuring spatial concentration and inequalities. Then it confronts the challenging task of comparing theory with facts. This book will serve as an ideal textbook for graduate students and scholars in economic geography, regional development, international trade, and public policy."--Masahisa Fujita, RIETI, Japan

"Economic geography has undergone something of a revolution in the last fifteen years with the application of formal theoretical modeling and econometric estimation to old questions. The many advances have, however, left us with a literature that is discursive, disparate, and disjointed. This book does an exceptional job of adding the needed structure, and helps all of us move toward a more complete and integrated understanding of this still-evolving area."--James R. Markusen, University of Colorado at Boulder

"Combes, Mayer, and Thisse have put together a marvelous book on economic geography. With clear, lucid writing, they present the theory and empirics of economic geography in a way that will provide insights to both those new to the field and those in search of an excellent reference work."--David Weinstein, Columbia University

"Combes, Mayer, and Thisse have produced therare text that is of value to both theorists and empirical researchers. They present the current state of knowledge about economic geography in an accessible way, paying equal attention to formal models and applied work. Their framework provides an elegant synthesis of concepts in regional economics, international trade, and economic development, which will be of broad interest to scholars and policymakers alike."--Gordon Hanson, University of California, San Diego

"A welcome addition to the literature. The authors are well-known researchers in the subject both on the theoretical and empirical sides. They put heavy emphasis on recent empirical research, not only reviewing the literature but also teaching the methodologies commonly used. No existing textbook in economic geography does this. This book fills a real gap."--Philippe Martin, coauthor of "Economic Geography and Public Policy"

"This book is well-written, extremely clear, and very well-focused. Other books are either too advanced for anyone starting in the field or too basic to be of any use beyond basic undergraduate courses. Beyond teaching, this book should also be very useful as a reference."--Gilles Duranton, University of Toronto

Ausgangspunkt der Darlegungen ist das Verhaltnis zwischen der Bevolke rungsdichte eines Gebietes und seiner wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung. Zwi schen diesen beiden Grossen besteht kein zwingender Zusammenhang. Ein ho her Lebensstandard kann grundsatzlich in dicht besiedelten und auch in dunn besiedelten Landern erreicht werden. Wichtiger als die Einwohner zahl sind die Naturverhaltnisse sowie der Grad der Technisierung und Industrialisierung. Die Bevolkerungsdichte muss jedoch bei der wirtschaft lichen Entwicklung Beachtung finden. Fur ein dicht besiedeltes Gebiet sind andere Massnahmen und Techniken angebracht als in einem Lande mit geringer Bevolkerungsdichte. Bildet hier der im Uberfluss vorhandene Raum den Ausgangspunkt der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, so muss dort in er ster Linie der Menschenreichtum in den Dienst des sozialen Fortschritts gestellt werden. Die Entscheidung zwischen der arbeitsintensiven und der mehr kapitalintensiven Produktionsweise sowie uber die Standortwahl der Erzeugungsstatten wird hierdurch beeinflusst. Bevolkerungsverteilung und industrielle Standortplanung sind Elemente der regionalen Wirtschaftspoliti. k. Aus der raumbezogenen Wirksamkeit be hordlicher und einzelwirtschaftlicher Entscheidungen ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, die raumlichen Belange bei der Erschliessung und Entwick lung eines Gebietes in Rechnung zu stellen. Auf keinen Fall darf uber der erstrebten allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung die Herausbil dung eines organischen Raumgefuges vernachlassigt werden. Die rechtzei tige Berucksichtigung wichtiger Gesichtspunkte der Raumordnung ist ge eignet, den storungsfreien Ablauf des Entwicklungsprozesses zu sichern und das Entstehen volkswirtschaftlicher Reibungsverluste zu verhindern."

A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2022: Politics Everything you know about income inequality, poverty, and other measures of economic well-being in America is wrong. In this provocative book, a former United States senator, eminent economist, and a former senior leader at the Bureau of Labor Statistics challenge the prevailing consensus that income inequality is a growing threat to American society. By taking readers on a deep dive into the way government measures economic well-being, they demonstrate that our official statistics dramatically overstate inequality. Getting the facts straight reveals that the key measures of well-being are greater than the official statistics of the country would lead us to believe. Income inequality is lower today than at any time in post- World War II America. The facts reveal a very different and better America than the one that is currently described by policy advocates across much of the political spectrum. The Myth of American Inequality provides clear and convincing evidence that the American Dream is alive and well.

Doreen Massey (1944-2016) changed geography. Her ideas on space, region, labour, identity, ethics and capital transformed the field itself, while also attracting a wide audience in sociology, planning, political economy, cultural studies, gender studies and beyond. The significance of her contributions is difficult to overstate. Far from a dry defence of disciplinary turf, her claim that "geography matters" possessed both scholarly substance and political salience. Through her most influential concepts - such as power-geometries and a "global sense of place" - she insisted on the active role of regions and places not simply in bearing the brunt of political-economic restructuring, but in reshaping the uneven geographies of global capitalism and the horizons of politics. In capturing how global forces articulated with the particularities of place, Massey's work, right up until her death, was an inspiration for critical social sciences and political activists alike. It integrated theory and politics in the service of challenging and transforming both. This collection of Massey's writings brings together for the first time the full span of her formative contributions, showcasing the continuing relevance of her ideas to current debates on globalization, immigration, nationalism and neoliberalism, among other topics. With introductions from the editors, the collection represents an unrivalled distillation of the range and depth of Massey's thinking. It is sure to remain an essential touchstone for social theory and critical geography for generations to come.
