By conceptualizing the rise of the hybrid domain as an emerging
institutional form that overlaps public and private interests, this
book explores how corporations, states, and civil society
organizations develop common agendas, despite the differences in
their primary objectives. Using evidence from India, it examines
various cases of social innovation in education, energy, health,
and finance, which offer solutions for some of the most pressing
social challenges of the twenty-first century. Yuko Aoyama and
Balaji Parthasarathy position social innovation at the intersection
of changing state-market relations, institutional design, and
technological innovation. By demonstrating how corporations, social
entrepreneurs, and social finance increasingly cross borders to
devise local solutions with global technologies, this book
illustrates how collaborative governance can serve as a useful
alternative to blend economic and social objectives by overriding
organizational boundaries which were previously considered
ideologically incompatible and, therefore, unbridgeable. Engaging
with the question of collective capacity building, this book will
be of interest to a broad and multi-disciplinary audience, from
those studying innovation, science and technology policy, and
entrepreneurship, to those working in international governance and
development.
Global Movements: Dance, Place, and Hybridity provides a
theoretical and practical examination of the relationships between
the global mobility of ideas and people, and its impact on dance
and space. Using seven case studies, the contributors illustrate
the mixture of dance styles that result from the global diffusion
of cultural traditions and practices. The collection portrays a
multitude of ways in which public and private spaces-stages,
buildings, town squares as well as natural environments-are
transformed and made meaningful by culturally diverse dances.
Global Movements will be of interest to scholars of geography,
dance, and global issues.
"A comprehensive and highly readable review of the conceptual
underpinnings of economic geography. Students and professional
scholars alike will find it extremely useful both as a reference
manual and as an authoritative guide to the numerous theoretical
debates that characterize the field." - Allen J. Scott, University
of California "Guides readers skilfully through the rapidly
changing field of economic geography... The key concepts used to
structure this narrative range from key actors and processes within
global economic change to a discussion of newer areas of research
including work on financialisation and consumption. The result is a
highly readable synthesis of contemporary debates within economic
geography that is also sensitive to the history of the
sub-discipline." - Sarah Hall, University of Nottingham "The nice
thing about this text is that it is concise but with depth in its
coverage. A must have for any library, and a useful desk reference
for any serious student of economic geography or political
economy." - Adam Dixon, Bristol University Organized around 20
short essays, Key Concepts in Economic Geography provides a cutting
edge introduction to the central concepts that define contemporary
research in economic geography. Involving detailed and expansive
discussions, the book includes: An introductory chapter providing a
succinct overview of the recent developments in the field. Over 20
key concept entries with comprehensive explanations, definitions
and evolutions of the subject. Extensive pedagogic features that
enhance understanding including figures, diagrams and further
reading. An ideal companion text for upper-level undergraduate and
postgraduate students in economic geography, the book presents the
key concepts in the discipline, demonstrating their historical
roots and contemporary applications to fully understand the
processes of economic change, regional growth and decline,
globalization, and the changing locations of firms and industries.
Written by an internationally recognized set of authors, the book
is an essential addition to any geography student's library.
