Download or read book The Spatial and Economic Transformation of Mountain Regions written by Manfred Perlik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain regions are subject to a unique set of economic pressures: they act as collective enterprises which have to valorize rare resources, such as spectacular landscapes. While primarily rural in nature, they often border large cities, and the development of industries such as hydroelectric power and the rapid development of tourism can bring about sweeping socio-economic change and vast demographic alterations. The Spatial and Economic Transformation of Mountain Regions describes the socio-economic changes and spatial impacts of the last four decades, with the transformation of mountain areas held up as an example. Much of the real-world context draws on the Alps, spanning as they do the significant economies of France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Chapters address academic discourse on regional development in these mountain areas and suggest alternative approaches to the liberal-productivist societal model. This book will be essential reading for professionals, institutions, and NGOs searching for counter-models to the existing marketing approaches for peripheral areas. It will also be of interest to students of regional development, economic geography, environmental studies, and industrial economics.

Download or read book La Suisse et les grandes puissances, 1914-1945 written by Sébastien Guex and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 1999 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De 1914 à 1945, quatre grandes puissances - les États-Unis, la Grande-Bretagne, l'Allemagne et la France - dominent économiquement et politiquement la scène mondiale. Ce sont aussi les principaux partenaires économiques de la Suisse. Les études réunies dans cet ouvrage répondent à une double ambition. Il s'agit, d'une part, de mieux apprécier le poids relatif de la Suisse pour chacun des quatre pays en question, et réciproquement, grâce à des données quantitatives en partie nouvelles. D'autre part, ces études permettront de mieux comprendre certains aspects importants de la politique économique menée par la Suisse durant une période cruciale de son histoire, à l'aide d'archives peu ou pas exploitées jusqu'à maintenant. Les contributions présentées ici permettent de dégager une conclusion générale, qui tranche avec une image d'Épinal encore largement répandue aujourd'hui. Elles montrent que de 1914 à 1945, la Suisse, loin d'être un frêle esquif sans grande liberté de manœuvre face à ses partenaires étrangers, s'est affirmée comme une véritable puissance sur le plan commercial et financier, avec laquelle les grands États ont dû de plus en plus compter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThis book examines migration in a rapidly globalizing economy where it disrupts such relatively stable patterns as the trip to work, home, school and shopping on the one hand, and is itself transformed by continuously evolving information and telecommunications technology, declining relative transport cost and immigration policy dynamics. The perspective is global yet provides the reader with empirically based work representing Europe, North America and Asia, and international comparative studies of changing migration patternsÕ impact on trade and culture.Õ Ð Roger R. Stough, George Mason University, US During the last few decades the world has experienced an unprecedented level of cross-border migration. While this has generated significant socio-economic gains for host countries, as well as sometimes for the countries of origin, the costs and benefits involved are unevenly distributed. Consequently, growing global population mobility is a hotly debated topic, both in the political arena and by the general public. Amidst a plethora of facts, opinions and emotions, the assessment of migration impacts must be grounded in a solid scientific evidence base. This analytical book outlines and applies a range of the scientific methods that are currently available in migration impact assessment (MIA). The book provides various North American and European case studies that quantify socio-economic consequences of migration for host societies and for immigrants themselves. With up-to-date and broad coverage, this detailed study will appeal to academic researchers in the social sciences, policy analysts at national and international level, as well as graduate students in economics and regional science.

Download or read book Swiss Federalism written by Adrian Vatter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political and economic crisis of EU integration has made it increasingly apparent how challenging it is to bring together different sovereign cultures, languages and regions into a single political system. Switzerland – being one of the three classic federations in the world – can provide insights, particularly in relation to the accommodation of cultural, linguistic, religious and regional diversity, which can help tackle contemporary challenges. This book describes and analyses the characteristics, institutions, and processes of Swiss federalism, along with its combination of stability and change. It presents a comprehensive study of the federal system of Switzerland, where it comes from, how it operates, and the way it has changed of late. This will allow readers to appreciate the specific and current answers the Swiss case offers to the main questions raised by wider federal research. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students in federalism and territorial politics, political institutions, local and regional government studies, multi-level governance and more broadly to European and comparative politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who votes for radical right parties and why? This book argues that the increasing popularity of the radical right in Europe originates in community bonds: strong ties to one's locality motivate support for the radical right. These parties use nostalgic themes and symbolic politicking to idealize community, defend local autonomy, and ultimately draw local identity into the electoral realm. While other explanations of the radical right's popularity typify supporters as victims of macro-economic shifts and strains, the author's account explores people's day-to-day experiences that link local connections to political decisions. The analysis also raises questions about the political implications of different formal authority structures such as the level and nature of power devolved to local units. The localist model of radical right support illuminates the psychological, social, and institutional conditions and processes that render people's feelings about their cities, towns, and villages relevant for politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explains the national and regional border modifications that took place in Europe from 1870 to 2020. It provides insights that allow us to understand boundary changes for several different levels of territorial organization. The text describes the state formation process related to the regional-administrative structures in each European country, and offers insight into the degree of centralization historically by describing the extent of legislative autonomy at different administrative levels and the competences reserved for each of them. The book sheds light on the complex regional organization of Europe and the difficulties its reform has faced. The main audience will be academics and PhD/Masters students working in a variety of geography fields, and the maps included in each chapter will also be of interest to a broader audience including undergraduate and secondary-school students wishing to better understand the political history of Europe.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage constitue le neuvième volume de la collection p®opriété intelle©tuelle – intelle©tual p®operty (www.pi-ip.ch). Il rassemble les contributions qui ont été rédigées à l’occasion de la Journée de Droit de la Propriété Intellectuelle (www.jdpi.ch) organisée le 11 février 2016 à l’Université de Genève sur le thème « Indications géographiques : Perspectives globales et locales /Geographical Indications : Global and Local perspectives ». Dans notre monde globalisé et connecté qui tend à annihiler frontières et distances géographiques, l’on pourrait penser de prime abord que les rattachements territoriaux des produits et services n’ont plus de sens et n’ont dès lors plus lieu d’être (protégés). Tel n’est assurément pas le cas. L’on doit bien au contraire constater que la globalisation des échanges et de l’économie est loin d’effacer le besoin d’ancrage géographique des produits et services pour les parties prenantes concernées, qu’il s’agisse des clients (peut-être de plus en plus) sensibles à l’origine des produits et services qu’ils consomment, des producteurs de biens et des fournisseurs des services concernés toujours à la recherche d’un avantage compétitif, mais aussi des États qui perçoivent eux aussi l’intérêt à se démarquer sur un marché global très concurrentiel. Outre sa puissance symbolique – qu’il suffise de mentionner ici la désignation « Swissness » ou « Suissitude » telle qu’elle résulte des nouvelles réglementations suisses –, un rattachement géographique peut incontestablement avoir une valeur économique considérable qui appelle ainsi une protection légale efficace. C’est à l’analyse de différents aspects internationaux, régionaux et locaux de cette large thématique que s’attachent les contributions qui composent le présent ouvrage. Que les auteurs de celles-ci trouvent ici l’expression de notre gratitude pour les remarquables réflexions qu’ils y ont exposées. Nos remerciements s’adressent aussi à M. Pierre Heuzé qui a une nouvelle fois très efficacement assumé les travaux d’édition de ce nouvel ouvrage de la collection.
