Economies Institutions and Territories

<p>Presenting multidisciplinary and global insights, this book explores the nexus between economies, institutions, and territories and how global phenomena have local consequences.</p><p>It examines how original and innovative economic related processes embed themselves in societies at the local level; how boundaries between the state and the market are placed under stress by unexpected changes. It explores whether new types of elites and forms of social inequalities are emerging as a result of institutional and economic changes, and whether peripheral areas are experiencing insidious forms of economic and institutional lock-in. Presenting empirical cases and useful analytical and conceptual tools, the book makes current economic and territorial phenomena more understandable.</p><p>This is an important read for students and scholars in the fields of geography, sociology, political sciences, anthropology, economics, regional science, and international relations. It is also a valuable resource for policymakers, well-educated lay readers and economic, political and international relations journalists.</p> <p>1.Economies, Territories, Institutions: Analytical Fragments of a Complicated Relationship - Luca Storti, Giulia Urso, and Neil Reid. <em>Part I-Integration between the Economy and Society: Innovation, Tensions and Dilemmas. </em>2.Change and Innovation within Florida's Food System in Response to COVID-19 - David Outerbridge, Christa D.
