Download Territoriality and Conflict in an Era of Globalization Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Predictions that globalization would undermine territorial attachments and weaken the sources of territorial conflict have not been realized in recent decades. Globalization may have produced changes in territoriality and the functions of borders, but it has not eliminated them. The contributors to this volume examine this relationship, arguing that much of the change can be attributed to sources other than economic globalization. Bringing the perspectives of law, political science, anthropology, and geography to bear on the complex causal relations among territoriality, conflict, and globalization, leading contributors examine how territorial attachments are constructed, why they have remained so powerful in the face of an increasingly globalized world, and what effect continuing strong attachments may have on conflict. They argue that territorial attachments and people's willingness to fight for territory depends upon the symbolic role it plays in constituting people's identities, and producing a sense of belonging in an increasingly globalized world.

This book examines the meaning of Brexit, the election of Trump and the rising tide of populist revolt on the right amidst the collapse of the left. Exploring the reaction against the establishment or ‘the system’, the author contends that we are witnessing a new divide between those who wish to see an interconnected world and those who seek distance: as transport and technology shrink the world, we witness a backlash that favours protectionism and opposes immigration. Distance is the new frontier: for some, remote players are rejected in favour of identities closer to home. This divide plays out in relation to the notion of ‘face’, as individuals react to ‘faceless’ organisations and processes such as globalisation and automation, responding to a sense of alienation on social media and developing a conception of themselves as networked individuals. Thus, we move towards a type of society characterised not by honour and dishonour, or right and wrong, but by voice and choice. A fascinating and very accessible analysis of the divisions and transformations that have come to dominate the contemporary landscape, this book will appeal to political leaders and social scientists with interests in globalisation, social movements and social theory.

Download An Introduction to Geographical Economics Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The need for a better understanding of the role location plays in economic life was first and most famously made explicit by Bertil Ohlin in 1933. However it is only recently, with the development of computer packages able to handle complex systems, as well as advances in economic theory (in particular an increased understanding of returns to scale and imperfect competition), that Ohlin s vision has been met and a framework developed which explains the distribution of economic activity across space. This book is an integrated, non-mathematical, first-principles textbook presenting geographical economics to advanced students. Never avoiding advanced concepts, its emphasis is on examples, diagrams, and empirical evidence, making it the ideal starting point prior to monographic and journal material. Contains copious computer simulation exercises, available in book and electronic format to encourage learning and understanding through application. Uses case study material from North America, Europe, Africa and Australasia.

One of the world's most insightful journalists argues that swiftly unfolding advances in telecommunications will effectively eliminate distance as a perceptible concept from our lives. She predicts that this "death of distance" between individuals & entities will become the single most important economic force to reshape society over the next half century. The Death of Distance reveals the ways-only now dimly imaginable-that the communications revolutions will tilt the balance between large & small, rich & poor, as it transforms decisions about home & work, notions of national borders, the institutions of education & government, trade patterns, & more. Among the author's more striking predictions: there will be greater economic rewards for those who promote or "boost" their information ahead of everybody else's; the world will work 24 hours a day on three shifts based on the time zones of the Americas, Europe, & the Far East; the design of the home & the office will be altered to accommodate the increasingly blurred lines between work & leisure; the strength of local cultures will be enforced, while a global culture will develop in parallel-dominated by the English language-based world on the Internet.
