This book responds to moves to rematerialize the social sciences, to attend to the stuff of daily life, but challenges the social sciences to think beyond objects as stable things. It argues that objects are better seen as things coming apart, as en route to becoming something else, some stuff else, somewhere else. It locates these arguments in economies of demolition, disposal and reincarnation, focusing on object death, materials recovery and re-fabrication, and the sequestration and unleashing of materials classified as wastes.

This book responds to moves to rematerialize the social sciences, to attend to the stuff of daily life but challenges the social sciences to think beyond objects as stable things. It forwards the argument that objects need to be seen not as stabilising things, or immutable mobiles – as time stilled and materials fixed and conserved in the object form – or even always in the making, as becoming but as unbecoming things. It argues that objects are better seen as things coming apart, as en route to becoming something else, some stuff else, somewhere else. It locates these arguments in economies of demolition, disposal and reincarnation, focusing on object death, materials recovery and re-fabrication, and the sequestration and unleashing of materials classified as wastes. It uses as its exemplar case the classic immutable mobile, the ship – one of the most durable and complex of fabricated objects. It illustrates these arguments through global ethnography conducted in various settings around the world, including South Asia and the EU.

The Business of Cities explores the re-urbanisation of business, discussing cities as emerging markets for firms, the re-urbanisation of business locations, the growth of "city building" as a newly globalising industry, the urbanisation of capital, cities as "test markets" for larger geographies and businesses adopting city brands and city marketing approaches.

Routledge Perspectives on Development

In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the relationship between migration and development. In particular, there has been much excitement about the potential for migration to make a positive contribution to development and concern about ensuring that development reduces the need for people to migrate. The ensuing 'buzz' has created much discussion but it is often surrounded by conceptual confusion and simplistic analyses. This volume will introduce the reader to the debates about migration and development and provide a critical overview drawing on insights from case studies of particularly migration practices, development interventions and policy initiatives from different regions of the world. The text begins by situating the recent burst of interest in broader historical currents of development discourse, examining some of the intellectual and political factors that have brought it to the surface now. It introduces the main elements of migration theory as it has been applied in the developing regions of the world, before presenting the theories proposing causal relationships between migration and development. The book will then explore these interactions in more detail by focusing on some of the key concepts that underpin much of the discussion, in particular remittances, diasporas and human capital. A central argument of the book will be that migration must be seen as intimately related to development and change rather than as a symptom of development failure. An exception is perhaps provided with the movement of refugees and other forced migrants and a chapter will examine the extent to which it is helpful to distinguish forced and voluntary migration in relation to development. The final section will critically review how the migration and development discourse has been adopted by policy makers in a range of initiatives. The book will conclude by reflecting on how the development and migration debate remains incoherent and contradictory in many respects. It will argue that migration brings a challenge to sedentary notion of development that has yet to be taken seriously by development scholars. Each chapter will include case studies from different parts of the world to illustrate the points being made. In contrast to much of the current literature on migration and development, each chapter will consider both internal and international migration

Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship

Researching Entrepreneurship argues that a critically reflexive approach is required in order to capture the messy, heterogeneous and complex nature of entrepreneurship. Accordingly, Researching Entrepreneurship challenges the researcher to take a step back in order to ask more fundamental questions prior to engaging in data collection - thus drawing attention to the critical aspects of philosophical perspectives and underpinnings

Entrepreneurship is a diverse research phenomenon which demands a multiplicity approach to aid understanding. However, despite the multi-disciplinary nature of entrepreneurship, dualistic perspectives have emerged including quantitative and qualitative; western and non-western; Europe and US, which are apparent within entrepreneurship research. Researching Entrepreneurship argues that a critically reflexive approach is required in order to capture the messy, heterogeneous and complex nature of entrepreneurship. Accordingly, Researching Entrepreneurship challenges the researcher to take a step back in order to ask more fundamental questions prior to engaging in data collection – thus drawing attention to the critical aspects of philosophical perspectives and underpinnings. This is necessary as the substitution of the word methodology for the word method has resulted in the two terms being used interchangeably. From such a position, it is then possible to explore the "taken for granted" norms of entrepreneurship scholarship and methodological myths which currently dominant entrepreneurship research. Indeed, in order to facilitate further theoretical and empirical development within the field then quite clearly, appropriate attention to philosophical underpinnings is necessary to reflect the idiosyncratic contextual nature of entrepreneurship.Aimed at academics, researchers and advanced students in the field of Entrepreneurship, Researching Entrepreneurship will adapt a critical perspective in relation to epistemological and ontological assumptions which currently shape the entrepreneurship research agenda. It will seek and challenge dualistic perspectives including quantitative and qualitative; western and non-western; Europe and US which are apparent with entrepreneurship research and place greater emphasis on the appropriateness of methodological selection in relation to research aims and objectives.

Routledge Studies in Crime, Security and Justice

This book examines the concept of 'urban security' in a European context, tracing the origins of the problem in public policy discourse through to the desire of the European Union to create an 'area of freedom, security and justice'.

Often forgotten as an important political site for social contacts, public opinion, democracy, freedom and openness - characteristics which are frequently ascribed to streets and squares - this accessible and novel open access study puts public transport at the heart of political debates about public space. 
 
Public transport can be an intensely sensory experience, leaving impressions both favourable and unfavourable on its users, and gathering around itself an extensive archive of representations since the early 19th-century. Bringing together contributions from a range of key scholars and public intellectuals, as well as literary texts, this volume offers a richly illustrated commentary on public transport as public space which combines theoretical analysis and practical case studies.

The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

The Routledge Human Development and Capability Debates

Ideas which engage with the lived experiences of indigenous communities are crucial if we are to understand indigenous peoples' struggle for rights and recognition. Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach introduces readers to the human development and capability approach and shows how it might be used to help us to understand the values, needs, and aspirations of indigenous peoples. Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach is the first book to bring indigenous perspectives into conversation with the capability approach and will be essential reading for both students and policy makers with an interest in the well-being and development of indigenous communities.

Despite some achievements gained during the indigenous struggle for rights and recognition, many indigenous groups continue to fight against unjust social, political, environmental, and historical conditions. Ideas which engage with the lived experiences of communities themselves, such as the human development and capability approach, are crucial if we are to understand the conditions in which the struggle for self-determination take place.Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach introduces readers to the human development and capability approach and explores how it might be used to help us to understand the values, needs, and aspirations of indigenous peoples. Split into three handy sections, the book explores the key concepts, methods and applications of the capability approach and indigenous perspectives to well-being and development. Using a range of examples and case studies from Maori, First Nations, Native American, Aboriginal, African, and Asian indigenous communities, the book provides a window into the lived experiences of some of the most marginalised and vulnerable groups in the world. The first book to bring indigenous perspectives into conversation with the capability approach, Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach will be essential reading for both students and policy makers with an interest in the well-being and development of indigenous communities.

Routledge Explorations in Development Studies

Bridging theory and practice, this comprehensive book critically examines regional and spatial strategies for development and their outcomes, drawing on a wide range of international examples. It highlights lessons learned from the implementation of spatial and regional approaches to development, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these various approaches and promotes a new framework of spatial and regional development, advocating a dynamic approach to local-national-global integration.

Many changes worldwide have taken place since frameworks and policies for regional and spatial development were introduced during the 'decade of development'. This book addresses the need to critically review various experiences in order to extract lessons about their strengths and weaknesses so as to facilitate more effective approaches. Bridging theory and practice, this book critically examines regional and spatial strategies for development and their outcomes, drawing on a wide range of international examples. It provides a comparative perspective in the Asia Pacific region and includes coverage of Western approaches in the United States, Europe and in Latin America. The book highlights lessons learned from the implementation of spatial and regional approaches to development and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these various approaches in relation to issues such as national settlements, urbanization, rural development, industrialization, land use, rural-urban relations, and transport infrastructure. This book promotes a new framework of spatial and regional development, advocating a dynamic approach to local-national-global integration and a focus on new issues such as governance and inclusion, innovation and knowledge, economic and trade blocks, and regional and decentralized political economy. It argues that spatial and regional approaches would be redefined through enhanced information and communications technologies, participatory governance, developed transport networks, and better supply chain and logistics for production and distribution, with the aim to reduce spatial disparities and inequalities, spatial impediments in development and increase opportunities for economic integration and interdependencies across geographical entities. This comprehensive book is of great value to students, scholars and practitioners in regional and development planning and policy, spatial planning, economic geography, and development economics.

Spatial and Regional Development in Perspective

The dinosaur-bird transition has been intensively studied using both fossil and embryological evidence. In recent years, the notion that birds are living dinosaurs has become the mainstream opinion in paleontology. But some embryologists and ornithologists remain skeptical and accuse paleontologists of ignoring conflicting evidence. This book resolves these conflicts. Careful re-evaluation of those features in seeming contradiction reveal that such characteristics actually support and corroborate the mainstream view that birds are in fact members of a dinosaurian lineage - they are living dinosaurs.
