Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

Prison building has moved from the margins to the mainstream of our penal politics. In recent years the UK Government has invested billions in new prison building and the main political parties are currently locked into a penal arms race over who can, and who will, build the most additional prison places in England and Wales. Prison building is now widely lauded as the definitive policy solution to the current prisons crisis and yet, this remains an elusive sphere of penal policymaking. Academic research remains in its infancy, and we still know very little about how these large investment decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons.
In seeking to shine a light on this subterranean and largely closed sphere of contemporary penal policymaking, this book presents the first systematic study of prison building programmes in England and Wales since the mid-1990’s punitive turn. Drawing upon extensive archival research, 28 exploratory qualitative interviews, publicly recorded data, historic satellite imagery and other mapping techniques this book has three main aims: (1) to provide an authoritative historical account of prison building activity in England and Wales since the mid-1990s punitive turn, (2) to explain why successive governments have chosen to invest in new prison building programmes and (3) to reflect upon how the prisons we build - functionally, architecturally, geographically – continue to shape our politics long after they have been constructed.

Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts verliert der Rangordnungskonflikt zwischen Alteingesessenen und Zugewanderten an Schwung. Binäre Konstellationen lösen sich auf, neue Figurationsprozesse gewinnen an Bedeutung. Im Zuge dieser Refigurationen werden neue identitätspolitische Grenzen gezogen, aus denen neue Fragmentierungen und Spaltungen hervorgehen. Jörg Hüttermann und Johannes Ebner setzen bei Prozessen, Brüchen und Mechanismen an, die den Wandel der gelebten Diversität in den letzten 25 Jahren geprägt haben. Dabei schärfen sie die (migrations-)soziologische Urteilskraft dahingehend, dass sie die Frage danach, in welche Richtung die Migrationsgesellschaft steuert, angemessen beantworten kann.

The Basics

Through a concise and accessible overview, Economic Geography: The Basics examines how geographical concepts - place, space, territory, networks, and scale - enable the study of economic phenomena from a spatial perspective.Readers will develop an understanding of the diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that define Economic Geography. The book highlights how economies constitute and are constituted by their geographical contexts. The five chapters will cover the internal complexities and contradictions of the field, its fluid boundaries, and its diverse contexts. Methodologically, it addresses critical challenges, such as the bias towards national-level analysis that neglects regional and local nuances, and the tendency to oversimplify diverse groups, treating them as uniform entities and ignoring internal complexities. The book also underscores the importance of considering inherent power dynamics between the researcher and their 'subjects'. These critical reflections collectively underscore the importance of economic-geographical research for explaining how economies function.Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Geography, Business, Economics, Sociology, and Politics, Economic Geography: The Basics equips students with the spatial analytical tools to explore a wide range of economic activities and their broader societal implications, including but not limited to markets, state interventions, industrialisation processes, the organisation of labour, and the dynamics of social reproduction.

Economic Geography: The Basics

How can human flourishing arise from what the poet Mary Oliver called 'good work/ongoing'? In its attentiveness to the material, form and purpose of distinct, well-made things, craft epitomizes good work. In its disciplined, quiet giving over to the repetitions of tradition, craft is ongoing. Perhaps more than any other practice, craft work reveals the intimacy between a manifest sense of self and the imperative of its common expression. In a world broken into shuttered units, each separated from the other for the purpose of measured comparison and control, Robin Holt argues that craft work can produce the unassigned remainder that refuses being broken up: it generates its own sufficiency and joy.

Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy

There is growing global interest in understanding how digital technologies and physical spaces, particularly within the framework of digital and green agendas, can transform cities, influence behaviour, and stimulate innovation. This book advances a novel and interdisciplinary framework for understanding intelligent environments, grounded in the concept of connected intelligence, the integration of human, collective, and machine intelligence.It explores how this integration operates within real-world smart ecosystems to drive transformative innovations in sustainability, carbon neutrality, urban efficiency, and liveability. Departing from approaches that treat intelligent systems as purely technological constructs, such as urban Artificial Intelligence (AI), cyber-physical infrastructure, digital twins, and machine learning vision, it reframes intelligent environments as socio-technical systems that remain fundamentally human-centric, even in the age of AI. It distinguishes itself from existing smart city literature, which often isolates digital technologies and IoT infrastructures for cities, by offering a comprehensive investigation of smart ecosystems as digital-institutional-physical (DIP) spaces; an analysis of real-world environments where connected intelligence is enacted, including industrial sectors evolving into smart-green ecosystems, platform services augmented by generative AI, carbon-neutral residential districts; and the development of a universal architecture of connected intelligence, applicable across diverse ecosystems.By bridging theory and practice and integrating technological, institutional, and territorial perspectives, the book introduces a conceptual and practical lens to understand how smart ecosystems enable ongoing transformative innovations that are reshaping the near future of cities and regions. It offers insights into how smart cities are evolving into intelligent environments and will serve as a valuable reference for researchers and students of innovation systems, smart city planning, urban, transportation and environmental planning, governance, computer science, and engineering.

SHORTLISTED FOR BLACKWELL'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITING 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026 SHORTLISTED FOR THE SHERBORNE PRIZE FOR TRAVEL WRITING 2026 LONGLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2026 From celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane comes this brilliant, perspective-shifting new book - which answers a resounding yes to the question of its title. At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings - who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept. The book flows first to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining. Then, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way. And finally, to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river - the Mutehekau or Magpie - is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign. At once Macfarlane's most personal and most political book to date, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, spark debates and lead us to the revelation that our fate flows with that of rivers - and always has. 2025 BOOK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO SPECTATOR, I PAPER, ECONOMIST, ESQUIRE, TIME

A Human History of Thirst

The Search for Water

Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization

One of the most pressing issues in development today is the employment challenge in low- and middle-income countries. As more young people enter the labor force--and as structural transformation unfolds amid deindustrialization, technological disruption, and global competition--the question of how to create sufficient decent jobs has become central to the economic future of the Global South. Although this is a shared challenge across developing regions, it is particularly acute in Africa, where rapid demographic change and urbanization are colliding with limited industrial expansion. Bringing together leading international scholars, The Future of Work in Developing Countries examines the employment problem from multiple perspectives. Early chapters develop conceptual frameworks around corporations and the global hierarchy of production. Subsequent contributions investigate the dynamics of structural transformation, the role of firms in linking production and labor to surplus, and the design of industrial and technology policies. Later chapters turn to detailed case studies--especially from Africa--that illustrate the possibilities and limits of different growth paths, and comparative insights from Asia and Latin America provide further perspective. By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book demonstrates that employment creation is not an automatic byproduct of growth but a political and institutional project. It offers fresh insights for scholars of development, political economy, and economic history, as well as for policy makers seeking strategies to promote inclusive transformation in Africa and beyond.

The Future of Work in Developing Countries

Discover how past climatic events have shaped economic, political, and social structures.
&nbsp;
This book discusses the effects of climate change on major historical junctures, including: the evolution of our species to anatomically modern humans, human dispersal from the cradle of humanity, the peopling of our world over time, the transition to sedentary life, the introduction of farming, the collapse of complex societies, the demise of civilizations, the decline of kingdoms and empires, the outbreak of conflicts, and the spread of infectious diseases. Historical episodes explored include the evolution of hominins, human migration patterns, the development of agriculture, and the rise and fall of civilizations especially during the 4.2 ka event, the Late Bronze Age Crisis, and the Little Ice Age. Blending theoretical perspectives and evidence from multiple disciplines, the book examines how climate anomalies have led to societal changes.
Exploring the interplay between climate and economies, Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures amplifies the connections between climate change and human history. Throughout the book, economist Sherif Khalifa emphasizes the economic consequences of climate change, offering unique insights into how environmental factors have driven historical outcomes. Chapters underscore the significance of understanding these historical patterns to predict—and mitigate—potential future impacts of ongoing climate change.
&nbsp;
Sherif Khalifa is Professor of Economics at California State University, Fullerton. He also served as a diplomat for Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His research is oriented around a few key areas, including development economics, international economics, political economy, and Middle East affairs. He is the author of Geography and the Wealth of Nations as well as Egypt’s Lost Spring.

Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development

Addressing the big questions to advance the debate on good governance for sustainable development, this book asks: what is governance for sustainable development? What makes governance 'good'? And what are the factors that inhibit good governance?With contributions from experts in Development Studies, Economics, Geography, Management, Environmental Science, Politics, and Public Policy, this interdisciplinary volume critically engages with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) whilst reflecting on the inherently political nature of good governance. Chapters draw on cases from a range of geographical contexts (local, national, supranational, and global) and diverse policy areas, including global environmental and labour governance, gender equality, decolonial governance in the Coral Triangle, supranational governance in the EU, and resource governance in the car industry. By doing so, this book provides an overview of the current challenges and possibilities for achieving good governance and sustainable development, and calls for a return to the critical spirit of the original concept of good governance, to reclaim it as the radical idea it was intended to be.This book will act as an insightful and valuable guide for academics, scholars, and students of Development Studies, Economics, Politics, Environmental Science, Geography, and Management, as well as policymakers and practitioners working in sustainable development.
