Social Capital andRural Development inthe Knowledge SocietyEdited by

HANS WESTLUNDKIYOSHI KOBAYASHI

Social Capital and Rural Development in theKnowledge SocietyRural communities are not all resource dependent and very low-density places.Not all have people leaving in droves and no newcomers. This books theoreticalarguments and case studies (from five countries) help one understand better thediversity of rural. We find population gainers, population losers; newcomers andlong-term stayers together in sizable towns; Aboriginal communities where out-migration is limited. The diversity is a key dimension in the analyses of public andprivate action to build and maintain social capital.

Roger E. Bolton, Williams College, USA

This amazingly surprising book takes the popular topic of social capital andprovocatively examines the contemporary rural development issue. New socialcapital driven thinking and insights are applied globally from a conceptual frameand locally with examples. The way forward for both urban and rural development isachieved when the variables that define social capital are simultaneously balancedaround focused development objectives. Examples show how a multidimensionalview of social capital enables meaningful rural development.

Roger R. Stough, George Mason University, USA

This book by Westlund and Kobayashi emphasizes the fact that the gap betweenurban and rural areas is no longer relevant today: all places and regions are under astrong influence from cities. The authors show in a straightforward way that thecontinuum between more and less urbanized places requires new types of regulations,based on innovation and local skills, and that rural policies cannot be based onagriculture only but primarily require the mobilization of local social capital links.

Andr Torre, INRA Agroparistech, Paris, France

Social capital is often considered a key factor for local development. This bookanalyzes the role of social capital for rural areas survival and development in thecurrent age of metropolitan growth an era in which urban is the norm andwhere rural areas must adapt to this new situation and build innovative urban-rural relations.

The traditional division between rural and urban is no longer valid in theknowledge society. Instead of being a homogeneous unit based on primarysector production, the countryside in the developed world increasingly consistsof areas with very different development paths. With examples from Europe, Asiaand America, the book discusses building and renewal of rural social capital fromboth bottom-up and top-down perspectives, and from the standpoint ofbusiness, and both the public and private sectors.

Hans Westlund is a Professor at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology andJnkping University, Sweden and Kiyoshi Kobayashi is Professor in theGraduate School of Management at Kyoto University, Japan.

Introduction to Transport PolicyA Public Policy ViewPeter Stopher and John Stanley, University of Sydney, Australia

This comprehensive and accessible book introduces the basic concepts of transport policy and decision-making. The foundations for policy are presented, incorporating a review of why policy is needed, the policy formulation process and models of decision-making that are appropriate to public sector policy makers. Chapters cover the basics of transport planning and traffic theory deemed necessary to understand policy implications of issues including congestion, safety and parking. Potential solutions to problems such as road user charges, travel demand management, voluntary travel behavior change, transport system management, public transport investment, and technological changes are prescribed. The book concludes with a discussion of the need for an integrated land transport policy and a hypothetical case study to illustrate how this might be developed for a typical metropolitan area.

Extraordinary CitiesMillennia of Moral Syndromes, World-Systems and City/State Relations Peter J. Taylor, Northumbria University, UK

This is a big book by Peter Taylor. It tells of the extraordinary world-making powers of cities across the ages, it explains why a state-centric social science has constrained recognition of these powers over the last two centuries, and it outlines a new indisciplinarity to help us make sense of a human condition increasingly forged out of the urban. Anyone troubled by the social sciences as we know them, ought to read this book.

Handbook of Creative CitiesEdited by David Emanuel Andersson, Nottingham University Business School, China, ke E. Andersson, Professor, Department of Economics, Jnkping International Business School, Jnkping, Sweden and Charlotta Mellander, Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Jnkping International Business School, Sweden, Martin Prosperity Institute, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, Canada

With the publication of The Rise of the Creative Class by Richard Florida in 2002, the creative city became the new hot topic among urban policymakers, planners and economists. Florida has developed one of three path-breaking theories about the relationship between creative individuals and urban environments. The economist ke E. Andersson and the psychologist Dean Simonton are the other members of this creative troika. In the Handbook of Creative Cities, Florida, Andersson and Simonton appear in the same volume for the first time. The expert contributors in this timely Handbook extend their insights with a varied set of theoretical and empirical tools. The diversity of the contributions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of creative city theorizing, which encompasses urban economics, economic geography, social psychology, urban sociology, and urban planning.

Handbook on Sustainable CitiesEdited by Daniel A. Mazmanian and Hilda Blanco, University of Southern California, US

Against a backdrop of unprecedented levels of urbanization, 21st century cities across the globe share concerns for the challenges they face. This Companion provides a framework for understanding the city as a critical building block for a more sustainable future within broader subnational, national, and continental contexts, and ultimately, within a global systems context. It discusses the sustainable strategies being devised, as well as the methods and tools for achieving them. Examples of social, economic, political and environmental sustainable policy strategies are presented, and the extent to which they actually increase sustainability is analyzed.

European Cities and Global CompetitivenessStrategies for Improving PerformanceEdited by Peter Karl Kresl, Bucknell University, US and Daniele Ietri, University of Turin, Italy

Europe is in a troubled state. The macroeconomic situation is in dire straits, national governments are close to being dysfunctional, and Europeans are facing austerity and relative decline. The one bright spot on this horizon is the potential for positive action at the level of the city or of urban regions. In this book, the authors have assembled a collection of original contributions by scholars from Europe, North America and Asia who have insights as to how local authorities in Europe might be able to chart a course for their city or urban region, in this period of extraordinary difficulty.

Branding Chinese Mega-CitiesPolicies, Practices and PositioningEdited by Per Olof Berg and Emma Bjrner, Stockholm University School of Business, Sweden

This is fruitful cross-fertilisation between the perspective of business studies on brand making and the perspective of urban studies on place promotion. The studies are firmly grounded on Chinese mega-cities, yet relevant cases in the more developed world are critically reflected to illuminate the path to new practices of city marketing and governance in this emerging economy. These fascinating stories remind us of the policy mobility in this globalizing world this is a book that will attract a wide audience across disciplines.

Social innovation may not be a new idea but it is clearly an idea whose time has come, not least because the traditional models of innovation narrowly framed technical models have run their course and no longer resonate in a world of societal challenges. This Handbook has two great merits it brings conceptual rigour to the debate and it provides compelling narratives of social innovation in practice.

By critically assessing the opportunities and challenges posed by planning and governing at the megaregional scale, this innovative book examines the latest conceptualizations of trans-metropolitan landscapes. In doing so, it seeks to uncover whether megaregions are a meaningful new spatial framework for the analysis of cities in globalization. Situated within the broader contours of global urban analysis, the book draws together a range of thought-provoking contributions from scholars engaged in the study of trans-metropolitan regions. It thereby provides multiple paths of access for those wishing to familiarize themselves with this topical area of global urban studies.

Urban Economics and Urban PolicyChallenging Conventional Policy WisdomPaul C. Cheshire, London School of Economics and Political Science, Max Nathan, London School of Economics and Political Science and National Institute of Economic and Social Research and Henry G. Overman, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

Urban economics as a field has thrived over the past 15 years, yet urban economists contribute too little to the development and evaluation of urban policy. Many powerful policies intended to influence urban development and spatial differences have been developed since the late 1940s, but often as with land use planning, regeneration or enterprise zones they have been subject to little if any rigorous economic evaluation or even informal assessment in terms of basic economic principles. Even where evidence is available it has seldom influenced the development of policy. Here, the authors present new evidence on the fundamental importance of cities to both production and welfare. They argue that many policies which have developed either do little to achieve their stated aims or have unintended and counterproductive consequences.

Neighbourhood Governance in Urban ChinaEdited by Ngai-Ming Yip, City University of Hong Kong

The last decade has witnessed a surge in collective action by homeowners in China against the infringement of their rights, yet the Chinese authorities have, in turn, become increasingly sensitive to the potential risk of such actions becoming destabilising forces in urban arenas. This thought-provoking book looks at both the theoretical and empirical underpinning of the self-governance of homeowners and their collective action, as well as control mechanisms in neighbourhood governance. The book offers a window through which contending issues such as changing statesociety relations, rights-based social movements, and the emergence of civil society can be further explored.

Chinas Urbanization and the World EconomyFan Zhang, Peking University, China

Urbanization has become a new driving force of Chinas development. The increase in demand has created a tremendous impact in the international market, changing Chinas international trade patterns, foreign investment and exchange rate. This book focuses on the logic and contradictions of Chinas urbanization and its future, including a detailed estimate of Chinas domestic market and its impact on the world economy, and the policy tradeoffs the Chinese leadership face.


Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Urban EconomiesEdited by Peter Karl Kresl, Bucknell University, US and Jaime Sobrino, El Colegio de MxicoThe Handbook comprises five parts: methodology, continental distinctions, positioning cities, planning for the future, and urban structures. The methodologies section includes interviews, empirical and theoretical approaches whilst continental distinctions offers contributions on China, North America, Europe, Latin America and South Africa. Positioning treats cities in the international context and relates them to economic and administrative spaces whilst planning includes general strategic economic planning, as well as the experience of individual cities.

New Developments in Spatial Economics and Economic GeographyEdited by Philip McCann, University of Groningen, The Netherlands

This volume comprises a selection of key papers which map out the latest developments in various aspects of spatial economics and economic geography. Edited by a leading authority in the field, this collection brings together papers which reflect both the depth of analysis and also the diversity of the different lines of enquiry regarding issues of Innovation and Geography, Cities and Clustering, Labour and Land Markets, and Empirics. Together these seminal pieces represent the state-of-the-art in the field of spatial economics and economic geography and therefore provide an ideal base on which further analyses will build.

Geographies of the Super-RichEdited by Iain Hay, Flinders University, Australia

The worlds super-rich, made up of just 11 million people, have access to about US$42.0 trillion of wealth. These are people who each have a spare million of liquid wealth. Their wealth is roughly equal to two thirds of global GDP. They own most of everything. As the editor of this books states . . . library shelves and the pages of journals remain largely devoid of geographical work on the super-rich a startling lacuna this volume sets out to fill. The super-rich now own most of the planet. During the last year their share fell slightly. Times may be changing. Now is the time to begin to study the superrich in detail, especially if you are worried about where all the wealth has gone.

Handbook of Industry Studies and Economic GeographyEdited by Frank Giarratani, University of Pittsburgh, Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, US and Philip McCann, University of Groningen, The Netherlands

Economic geography and industrial economics have traditionally been two distinct fields of scholarship separated by entirely disparate literatures, methodologies and research agendas. No more. With publication of this path-breaking collection of meticulously crafted studies, the editors have forged economic geography and industrial economics into a coherent and compelling singular field of scholarship. Neither economic geography nor industrial economics can subsequently be considered in isolation but will need to be analyzed in the integrated framework introduced in this book.

This is vintage Allen Scott, but also a tour dhorizon of the state of urban studies, 2012, by one of its foremost global practitioners: compulsory reading.

Peter Hall, University College London, UK

In this book, Allen Scott enriches his longstanding research into the ways in which city-regions function as the main economic engines of global capitalism. The end result is a seminal synthesis of how city-regions are increasingly enchained with one another in intensifying relations of competition and cooperation, and is a must-read for students and scholars alike.

Islands at Risk?Environments, Economies and Contemporary ChangeJohn Connell, University of Sydney, Australia

This insightful book provides a wide ranging analysis of contemporary economic, social, political and environmental change in small islands and territories, through every ocean, and the small island states. It examines the decline of agriculture and the rise of tourism, the problems of urbanization, and the particular role of migration and remittances, within a culture of migration. It seeks to balance economic challenges with environmental threats, and social changes with the survival of culture, pointing to awkward development futures.


Multinationals and Economic GeographyLocation, Technology and InnovationSimona Iammarino, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK and Philip McCann, University of Groningen, The Netherlands

Despite often playing second fiddle to clusters in the economic geography literature, multinationals are fundamental drivers of economic development. As generators and diffusers of knowledge they have played an essential role in shaping the new world economic order. No book captures this better than Simona Iammarino and Philip McCanns Multinationals and Economic Geography, a must read for anyone eager to fully understand the new economic geography of globalisation.

Brands and Branding GeographiesEdited by Andy Pike, Newcastle University, UK

The volume edited by Andy Pike includes contributions by several leading figures in the study of brands, places and place branding. . . However, this is not what makes the book a welcome addition to the literature. What really makes the book interesting is actually the brave attempt to deal with an intrinsically difficult topic, one that is rarely if ever explored: the relationship between brands and branding with the places in and around which these operate. Several facets of this relationship are explored in the book. . . The book is introduced nicely by Andy Pike in a chapter that sets the scene and clarifies the intentions of the book. . . I am glad the first book to handle these issues is on my shelves.

The Geography of the InternetCities, Regions and Internet Infrastructure in EuropeEmmanouil Tranos, VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This timely book presents a wide range of quantitative methods, including complex network analysis and econometric modelling, to illustrate how the Internet both follows, and at the same time challenges, more traditional geographies. Emmanouil Tranos explores the spatiality of the Internet, its physical infrastructure, and the geographic and socio-economic factors that shape its spatial distribution. He shows that although the Internet is a technical system with strong topological attributes, an almost hidden spatial dimension also exists.

Three of the strongest forces in contemporary regional economic development are agglomeration, clusters and entrepreneurship, forming the basis of much of the scholarly work involving the new economic growth theory, endogenous growth theory and policy. The expert contributors to this book academics and researchers from across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia provide conceptual and methodological contributions to the growing body of knowledge that extends these theoretical concepts. They go on to prescribe policy and practical applications, and present relevant case studies that underpin the detailed empirical analyses.

Alberto Brugnoli and Alessandro Colombo have put together an important collection of essays on government and governance in Italy and Britain. This richly documented comparative study proposes to answer two key questions: how does the change from government to governance emerge, and what enables this transformation to survive and even to displace State-centric solutions to public policy issues? The book will be a milestone in highlighting the distinctive and original role of the principle of subsidiarity, in examining and assessing governance regimes, their philosophy and their organizational choices and in linking subsidiarity with the prospects of freedom, responsibility and self-governing societies in the modern world. I know of no other book that brings the principle of subsidiarity to the frontier of the most current research in social science.

Transport, the Environment and SecurityMaking the ConnectionRae Zimmerman, New York University, US

Transportation planning and policy making have followed a particular model for more than fifty years. Rae Zimmerman begins with the premise that we are in a rut and that the old ways of thinking need to be replaced. An enormous amount of evidence is presented that together argues a strong case for the systematic integration of planning for transportation, the environment, and security. While the book does not get us to an integrated process, it points us to one and starts us down a creative path. A great introduction to the complexities of these relationships.

Social Capital and Rural Development in the Knowledge SocietyEdited by Hans Westlund, Royal Institute of Technology and Jnkping University, Sweden and Kiyoshi Kobayashi, Kyoto University, Japan

This book by Westlund and Kobayashi emphasises the fact that the gap between urban and rural areas is no longer relevant today: all places and regions are under a strong influence from cities. The authors show in a straightforward way that the continuum between more and less urbanized places requires new types of regulations, based on innovation and local skills, and that rural policies cannot be based on agriculture only but primarily require the mobilization of local social capital links.

Local Societies and Rural DevelopmentEdited by Shinichi Shigetomi and Ikuko Okamoto, Institute of Developing Economies (IDE), the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Japan

The importance of community-based and participatory approaches to rural development in developing countries has long been emphasized. Rural people, who are economically and politically weak as individuals, can only participate in development projects when they are collectively organized. However, this is no easy task. This book aims to identify the mechanisms in each local society through which rural people can best organize themselves to meet their development requirements. It stresses the need to find local mechanisms that motivate and control the members of a new organization in order to achieve organizational goals.

Chinas Peasants and Workers: Changing Class IdentitiesEdited by Beatriz Carrillo and David S.G. Goodman, University of Sydney, AustraliaThis unique and fascinating book explores three decades of economic change in China and the consequent transformation of class relations and class-consciousness in villages and in the urban workplace. The book illustrates how the development of the urban economic environment has led to changes in the urban working class, through an exploration of the workplace experiences of rural migrant workers, and of the plight of the old working class in the state owned sector. The expert contributors raise questions on the extent to which migrant workers have become a new working class, are absorbed into the old working class, or simply remain as migrant workers. They also highlight changes in class relations in villages in the urban periphery, where the urbanization drive and in-migration has lead to a new local politics of class differentiation.

Stough, George Mason University, Songdo Campus, Korea

This book highlights the role of entrepreneurship, social capital and governance for regional economic development. In recent decades, many researchers have claimed that entrepreneurship is the most critical factor in sustaining regional economic growth. However, most entrepreneurship research is undertaken without considering the fundamental importance of the regional context. Other research has emphasized the role of social capital but there are substantial problems in empirically relating measures of social capital to regional economic development.

Mapping National Innovation EcosystemsAmnon Frenkel, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Israel and Shlomo Maital, TIM-Tel Aviv, Israel and S. Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology, Technion, Haifa, Israel

Researchers and policymakers alike are becoming increasingly aware that innovations are generated by complex and dynamic national ecosystems that include government, industry, universities, schools, and the interactions among them. This book shows how such systems are strongly influenced by culture and differ widely across nations. The contributors of this book argue that both effective policy and research require a systems approach where policy consensus is built on a clear, common understanding of how each nations innovation ecosystem works. Mapping National Innovation Ecosystems provides an innovative methodology for constructing visual maps of national innovation ecosystems and presents these maps for six countries (Israel, Poland, Germany, France, Spain and Singapore) and two regions (Greater Toronto and Zhiangjiang Technology Park, Shanghai), along with the implications which emerge in each case.

One of the most important economic events in recent decades has been the ongoing process of European integration. This book provides a basic yet rigorous understanding of the current issues and problems of economic integration and innovation in Europe, and argues that national or regional economic development depends mainly on technical change, social and human capital, and knowledge creation and diffusion. This is clearly evident in the role of the quadruple innovation helix of government, university, industry and civil society.

Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index 2013Zoltn J. cs, George Mason University, US, Lszl Szerb, University of Pcs, Hungary and Erkko Autio, Imperial College London Business SchoolAcclaim for the 2011 edition:

The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index focuses on high-growth companies. It tries to measure the ambition of entrepreneurs as well as the prevalence of start-ups. It presents its results in ways that are designed to capture the attention of policymakers. It produces a ranking of 71 countries (for all their faults, nothing makes a politician jump like a league table). It also identifies bottlenecks that prevent countries from doing better. The index concludes that development and enterprise are correlated.

Christine Bae and Harry Richardson make an appropriate and significant contribution to understanding the Korean peninsula by dealing with the broader issues there, including reunification and hot spatial policy issues raised in South Korea. . . the contents of the book as a whole are fascinating and insightful.
