Local Politics, Global Impacts (eBook, PDF)

Steps to a Multi-disciplinary Analysis of Scales
Redaktion: Charnoz, Olivier; Pedregal, Virginie Diaz

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together internationally renowned as well as emerging scholars, this book presents concrete case studies framed by theoretical concern with the issue of scale. It demonstrates that a diverse array of theoretical, methodological and empirical perspectives can productively converge on a common set of problems related to social, temporal and spatial scales and contemporary globalization. Local Politics, Global Impacts will stimulate empirical and theoretical research that focuses on understanding how political concepts, practices, and instruments translate across scales, and contribute to the emergence of a self-aware community of scholars and practitioners focusing explicitly on modelling the dynamics of local-regional-global interactions.
