Originally published in 1987, Regenerating the Inner City looks at
the changes to Glasgow's East End and how industrial closures and
slum clearance projects have caused people to leave. This is
reflected across the western world, and causes severe blows to
cities where these industries are located. The book draws on
Glasgow's Eastern Area Renewal Scheme, the first big urban renewal
project in Britain. The contributors to the volume come from a
range of disciplines and form practical conclusions for
policy-makers, and community activists. The book uses door-to-door
surveys in Glasgow's east end, and interviews with community groups
to gain an authentic understanding of the issue.
This book looks back over the last forty years of change and
development in Ecuador, showing how macro level changes have
impacted families and workplaces on the local level. Traditionally
a dependent economy reliant on agricultural exports, the impact of
neoliberalism and new sources of income from oil have transformed
the informal and artisanal sectors in Ecuador. Exploring these
dynamics using a combination of micro and macro analyses, this book
demonstrates how the social relations of the sector are connected
to the wider social, economic and political systems in which they
operate. The book dives into the links between micro-production and
the wider economy, including the relationships between different
types of artisanal enterprises and their customers, their
connections to the private sector and the state, the importance of
social networks and social capital and the relevance of finance
capital in microenterprise development. Overall, the analysis
investigates how artisans, entrepreneurs and family-based
enterprises seek to protect their interests when faced with
neoliberal policies and the impacts of globalisation. This
remarkable longitudinal study will be of considerable interest to
researchers of development studies, economics, sociology,
anthropology, geography and Latin American Studies.
From Roots to Rogers, Tim Hortons to Cirque du Soleil, "Ikonica" is
a witty, thoughtful tour of the prime movers, triumphs, and flops
of Canada's complex "brandscape." The first book to explore the
country's rich and unique brand heritage as well as emerging
trends, "Ikonica" draws on authors Jeannette Hanna's and Alan
Middleton's years of experience as brand strategists. They profile
global players like Four Seasons Hotels, domestic upstarts like
WestJet, and everything in between. The book includes interviews
with major business and cultural figures such as Paul House (Tim
Hortons), Robert Milton (Air Canada), Fred Schaeffer (McCain), and
William Thorsell (Royal Ontario Museum). The authors also offer a
provocative analysis of what it takes for Canadian brands to "punch
above their weight" in the economic minefield that is today's
global marketplace. Pop packaging and 150 vibrant illustrations
make "Ikonica" as appealing to students of culture as to
businesspeople, marketers, and corporate history buffs.
