also called "New Silk Road", and focuses on its regional and local
effects. Written by experts from various fields, it presents a
range of case studies on the geopolitical, socio-economic,
ecological and cultural implications of the BRI for European
regions and their stakeholders. The book is divided into four
parts, the first of which discusses the history of and China's
motivations for the BRI. The second part explores the global
phenomenon from a number of regional standpoints. In turn, the
third part presents studies on the political, socio-economic,
cultural and ecological implications of the New Silk Road project.

the Silk Road project, as tourism has established itself as an
important economic sector in many regions along the historic Silk
Road. This book will appeal to scholars of economics, international
relations and tourism, decision-makers, managers, chambers of

Football in Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe has long functioned
as a carrier of the three "non-normal" socio-political drivers that
were effective below the surface of modernity, including the
official self-image of European political systems, since the second
half of the 20th century: Tribal Politics, Imaginal Politics, and
Contextual Politics. All three are trends that are currently
surfacing prominently on an international and global level. Long
before the return of the now proverbial "Political Tribes" by the
means of populisms and neo-authoritarianisms in societies around
the world, football in Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe worked as
a subconscious vehicle of group instincts and political moods that
represented, mirrored, informed and influenced political behavior
and governmental decisions both in the post-WWII communist and
then, after 1989, the neo-capitalist societies located east of the
former iron curtain. Football has always been used by both
governments and their opponents, including the dissident civil
society, to further coherence and to symbolically represent
specific readings of power relations, system ideologies and
history. Football in Central and Eastern Europe was always able to
attract and include large parts of the population, inducing them to
symbolically express protest against the government or to sustain
the "politics from above". Through football politics, aspects of
the area's specific political mechanisms are introduced and
explained.
The nature of work is changing, due to demographic shifts,
globalization, and digitization. Regional local labor markets are
in global competition for (highly) qualified and specialized
workers. At the same time, the workforce's desire for flexibility
and the increasing speed at which skill requirements are changing
are producing disparities at the spatial, social, and economic
levels. This book discusses the global and local drivers behind
these developments. It explores the factors which cause global
inequalities between urban and rural areas, and highlights how
cities, regions and countries attract these sought-after employees
to address skills shortages. The book includes an in-depth case
study on high-skilled workers in South Tyrol, Italy. No single
academic discipline can adequately capture the dynamics of the
future labor market, and the authors therefore take an
interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from different
disciplines. This book will be a valuable resource for
policymakers, students and researchers seeking to understand the
driving forces behind the ever-changing labor market and the future
of high-skilled work.
