Levelling Up Left Behind Places - The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge (Paperback): Ron Martin, Ben... Levelling Up Left Behind Places - The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge (Paperback)
Ron Martin, Ben Gardiner, Andy Pike, Peter Sunley, Peter Tyler
R1,136 Discovery Miles 11 360 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book aims to understand the predicaments of 'left behind places' and the scale of the policy challenge of 'levelling up' their economic prosperity. Drawing out lessons of wider international significance, it examines how places (cities, towns and localities) have grown apart over recent decades amidst deindustrialisation, post-industrial transition and the disruptive shocks of the global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Using the UK case to illustrate its arguments, the analysis identifies the different types of 'left behind places' and their distinctive economic experiences. The key features of urban and regional institutions and policies are reviewed to understand more about why, despite some successes, geographical inequalities remain an entrenched feature of the UK, blighting the life chances and quality of life of its citizens, and national economic progress as a whole. The weaknesses of past policies are highlighted, and the case is made for a new, mission-oriented policy model, because only a radical shift in economic thinking, governance and management is likely to achieve the 'levelling up' that is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon.

The Hedge Knight - The Graphic Novel (Paperback): George R. R. Martin, Ben Avery The Hedge Knight - The Graphic Novel (Paperback)

In this comic book/graphic novel adaptation set one hundred years before the events in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, "The Hedge Knight" chronicles a young squire as he travels the cruel and complex path to knighthood in the Seven Kingdoms.

Shouldering his fallen master's sword and shield, Duncan (or ?Dunk") is determined to reinvent himself as a knight in a nearby tournament. But first Dunk needs a sponsor, and that requirement sends him down a road studded with friends, foes, adventure, and hidden agendas. One such friend is Egg, who becomes Dunk's squire, yet even he may hold secret motivations of his own.

In this gripping prequel, Dunk and Egg seek glory in a world both familiar and new to "Game of Thrones" fans. What the two fortune seekers encounter, however, is a world of distrust and political machinations. Chivalry is not lost while Dunk holds fast to his dreams of honor. But such outdated virtues make him a target--and they may even lead to his ruin. This vivid and elaborately wrought tale brings new dimension to George R. R. Martin's beloved world.

This edition includes fifteen pages of new supplemental material: sketches, character designs, and original pages by Mike S. Miller, plus variant and original covers.

Martin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Sworn Sword graphic novel follows the adventures of Ser Duncan and his squire, Egg, as they quest for honor and glory in the Seven Kingdoms.

Energy Efficiency: Concepts and Calculations is the first book of its kind to provide an applied, systems oriented description of energy intensity and efficiency in modern economies across the entire energy chain. With an emphasis on analysis, specifically energy flow analysis, lifecycle energy accounting, economic analysis, technology evaluation, and policies/strategies for adopting high energy efficiency standards, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, tools and methodologies for studying and modeling macro-level energy flows through, and within, key economic sectors (electric power, industrial, commercial, residential and transportation). Providing a technical discussion of the application of common methodologies (e.g. cost-benefit analysis and lifecycle assessment), each chapter contains figures, charts and examples from each sector, including the policies that have been put in place to promote and incentivize the adoption of energy efficient technologies.

Als im Sommer 2003 erst im Nordosten der USA und spater in Italien Millionen Menschen uber Stunden von der Stromversorgung abgeschnitten waren, wurde in Europa plotzlich ein Thema wieder intensiv diskutiert: Versorgungssicherheit. Bis dahin hatten lange Zeit wirtschaftliche und vor allem okologische Aspekte der Energieversorgung im Mittelpunkt gestanden. Zu dieser veranderten Sichtweise tragt auch die Liberalisierung der europaischen Strommarkte bei, die zu grossen Veranderungen und in der Folge zu Unsicherheit unter den Marktteilnehmern fuhrt.

Knappe Ubertragungskapazitaten zwischen den nationalen Stromnetzen fuhren zu Netzengpassen, die ein Hindernis auf dem Weg zu einem europaischen Binnenmarkt bilden und eine Gefahr fur die Versorgungssicherheit darstellen konnen. Es mussen daher Wege gefunden werden, die Investitionsbereitschaft im Elektrizitatssektor zu erhohen und so eine Beseitigung der Netzengpasse und der mit ihnen verbundenen Probleme zu erreichen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage, auf welche Weise gleichzeitig Effizienzsteigerungen und eine sichere Versorgung gewahrleistet werden konnen. Dazu wird die notwendige Regulierung der Versorgungsqualitat naher betrachtet. Abschliessend wird in einem Uberblick die Umsetzung der Regulierung in ausgewahlten europaischen Landern dargestel

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Handel und Distribution, Note: 2,3, Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster (Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Volkswirtschaftstheorie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Als im Sommer 2003 erst im Nordosten der USA und spater in Italien Millionen Menschen uber Stunden von der Stromversorgung abgeschnitten waren, wurde in Europa plotzlich ein Thema wieder intensiv diskutiert: Versorgungssicherheit. Bis dahin hatten lange Zeit wirtschaftliche und vor allem okologische Aspekte der Energieversorgung im Mittelpunkt gestanden. Zu dieser veranderten Sichtweise tragt auch die Liberalisierung der europaischen Strommarkte bei, die zu grossen Veranderungen und in der Folge zu Unsicherheit unter den Marktteilnehmern fuhrt. Eine durch die Liberalisierungsbestrebungen verringerte Investitionsbereitschaft der Ubertragungsnetzbetreiber trifft mit steigenden grenzuberschreitenden Stromhandelsaktivitaten zusammen. Inhalt der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die daraus hervorgehende Problematik. Das ursprunglich fur eine regionale Stromversorgung und gegenseitige Hilfestellungen konzipierte Verbundsystem stosst durch wachsende internationale Stromtransporte an seine Grenzen. Knappe Ubertragungskapazitaten zwischen den nationalen Stromnetzen fuhren zu Netzengpassen, die ein Hindernis auf dem Weg zu einem europaischen Binnenmarkt bilden und eine Gefahr fur die Versorgungssicherheit darstellen konnen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen Wege gefunden werden, die Investitionsbereitschaft im Elektrizitatssektor zu erhohen und so eine Beseitigung der Netzengpasse und der mit ihnen verbundenen Probleme zu erreichen. Um eine geeignete Basis fur die weitere Untersuchung zu schaffen, werden zunachst die Besonderheiten des Elektrizitatssektors, insbesondere die Bedeutung der Versorgungssicherheit, dargestellt. Es folgt eine Betrachtung des europaischen Elektrizitatsmarktes. Der europaische Stromverbund wird skizziert und der W
