Economic Futures on the North Atlantic Margin

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This are the proceedings of the 12th seminar of marginal regions. They attempt to look into the future and to assess the probable consequences of economic development's being implemented by four countries neighbouring on the North Atlantic (Britain, Ireland, Norway and Canada). The hinterlands of these countries, sparsely-populated and heavily dependent on primary production (fishing, farming, forestry and mineral extraction), are threatened with the loss of their capacity to maintain their populations, sparse as they are already, as heavy industries retrench, agricultural subsidies are scaled down, fishing grounds are depleted and the end of the Cold War brings about the closure of military installations in remote areas.

Cultural Sustainability and Regional Development
Author: Joost Dessein
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317570049
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Meeting the aims of sustainability is becoming increasingly difficult; at the same time, the call for culture is becoming more powerful. This book explores the relationships between culture, sustainability and regional change through the concept of ‘territorialisation’. This new concept describes the dynamics and processes in the context of regional development, driven by collective human agency that stretches beyond localities and marked-off regional boundaries. This book launches the concept of ‘territorialisation’ by exploring how the natural environment and culture are constitutive of each other. This concept allows us to study the characterisation of the natural assets of a place, the means by which the natural environment and culture interact, and how communities assign meaning to local assets, add functions and ascribe rules of how to use space. By highlighting the time-space dimension in the use and consumption of resources, territorialisation helps to frame the concept and grasp the meaning of sustainable regional development. Drawing on an international range of case studies, the book addresses both conceptual issues and practical applications of ‘territorialisation’ in a range of contexts, forms, and scales. The book will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduates in sustainable development, environmental studies, and regional development and planning.

Geographies of Agriculture
Author: Guy Robinson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317880064
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 609
Book Description
Agricultural Geography has changed dramatically in recent decades, reflecting the transformation of the farming industry itself. Geographies of Agriculture embraces these changes, applying ideas and methods from contemporary social science, as it moves beyond farm-based production to address current issues affecting the production and consumption of food and fibre throughout the world. The book places special emphasis on topics that reflect globalisation processes, integration of agriculture into the wider agri-food system, concern with attaining sustainable production systems, and the importance of both government and supra-government policies. Examples are drawn from North America, Western Europe and the developing world. Geographies of Agriculture will appeal especially to Geography students, but should also be of interest to a broader range of students in Sociology, Economics and Development Studies, and anyone interested in agriculture, food production and consumption, and rural development.
