Authors: Christopherson, Susan; Clark, Jennifer
Description: This book is both a critique of the “new regionalism” and a return to the
“regional question,” including all of its concerns with equity and uneven
development. It will challenge researchers and students to consider the region
as a central scale of action in the global economy. At the core of the book are
case studies of two industries that rely on skilled, innovative, and flexible workers
– the optics and imaging industry and the film and television industry. Combined
with this is a discussion of the regions that constitute their production centers.
The authors’ intensive research on photonics and entertainment media firms,
both large and small, led them to question some basic assumptions behind the
new regionalism and to develop an alternative framework for understanding
regional economic development policy. Finally, there is a re-examination of
what the regional question means for the concept of the learning region2007-01-01T00:00:00ZThe EuropeansC. Ostergren, RobertLe Bossé, Mathias192.168.6.56/handle/123456789/504152020-09-15T13:04:01Z2011-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The Europeans
Authors: C. Ostergren, Robert; Le Bossé, Mathias
Description: This book is about the geography of a
people—the Europeans—their culture, and
the environments in which they live. It is a
regional geography, that is, an exploration
of a particular part of our world, the region
(or cultural realm) that we call Europe2011-01-01T00:00:00ZGeography and Japan’s Strategic ChoicesJ. Woolley, Peter192.168.6.56/handle/123456789/504032020-09-15T13:05:31Z2005-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Geography and Japan’s Strategic Choices
Authors: J. Woolley, Peter
Description: The aim of these chapters is to offer a brief survey of Japan’s strategic
choices over several centuries and of the ways in which these choices have
been shaped by geopolitical pressures. This approach differs from many
other explanations of Japan’s foreign and defense policies because of its
recurring focus on geographical influences throughout otherwise distinct
periods of Japanese history.2005-01-01T00:00:00ZCuban LandscapesL. Scarpaci, JosephH. Portela, Armando192.168.6.56/handle/123456789/503902020-09-15T13:07:24Z2009-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Cuban Landscapes
Authors: L. Scarpaci, Joseph; H. Portela, Armando
Description: The study of landscapes is an eclectic discipline, requiring us to cast a
necessarily broad net to capture the many nuances of Cuba and cubanidad
(“Cubanness”). Some of the earliest noncartographic representations of
the island of Cuba come to us in the form of landscape paintings. This
genre departed from 18th-century European treatments of oil portraits,
rooms, objects (flowers, vases, and quotidian features), gardens, and other
smaller spaces2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
