Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability and Markets
This book explores the interaction between sustainability, corporate responsibility, consumers, and the market. It aims to discover if consumers are seeking out small, ethical, socially responsible firms to buy from rather than large corporations; if markets and organisations are supported by a new sensitivity to social responsibility and sustainability ideas; if the integration of corporate responsibility strategies and practices change how market sectors are assembled. Bringing together international case studies – including research on the Italian wine industry, German butchers, Spanish football, Polish marketing and the Portuguese financial sector – this book is valuable reading for scholars working on corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and good governance.

Regional Intelligence
Regional Intelligence is an emerging field that leverages the lessons learned through decades of regional science. By merging spatial analysis with quantitative analytical techniques in the Anthropocene, this book contributes to the multidisciplinary understanding of regional issues. The locational aspects of regional paradigms are explored through various empirical studies that promote a rich and diversified understanding of regional issues concerning policy, governance, land use, and territorial decisions. Given its scope, the book will appeal to scholars and students of regional and spatial sciences and geography, as well as practitioners and decision makers engaged in regional planning and policymaking, looking for new methodological approaches that offer insights into sustainable development, regional prosperity, and livability. As a unique contribution, this book challenges the status quo on how complex spatial problems at an international level and at multiple scales can be comprehended.
Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice
Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice: A Critical Confluenceexamines how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to present day water crises as matters of social justice, through oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication methods and perspectives to interrogate the pressing yet mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of justice, liberty, and equity. Contributors highlight discourse and water justice movements in nonofficial spheres from activists, artists, and the grassroots. In extending the technical, economic, moral, and political conversations on water justice, this collection applies special focus on the novel rhetorical concepts and responses not necessarily unique to but especially enacted in water justice situations. Scholars of rhetoric, sociology, activism, communication, and environmental studies will find this book particularly useful.
Sustainable Tourism VIII
This volume includes papers from the 8th International Conference on Sustainable Tourism. Today tourism is becoming accessible to a growing number of people and is an important component of development, not only in economic terms but also for knowledge and human welfare.

The phenomenon has many more advantages than disadvantages. New forms of economic development and increasing wealth of human societies depend on tourism. Our knowledge of the world now includes a strong component due to tourism. Human welfare has p...
TRABAJO SOCIAL Y MEDIO AMBIENTE
Desde el trabajo social, el medio ambiente se percibe como un nuevo escenario para la práctica profesional en tres diferentes ámbitos: como un espacio de generación de empleo socio ambiental en la medida que el desarrollo de proyectos sostenibles puede implicar el acceso al trabajo de poblaciones con especiales dificultades; como una nueva necesidad formativa, puesto que requiere una actualización en los contenidos y en los procesos de intervención a desarrollar; como una posibilidad para lograr la participación ciudadana en a mejora de los entornos que habitamos
SOCIEDADES Y FRONTERAS
El libro "SOCIEDADES Y FRONTERAS" recoge las Actas del IX Congreso Andaluz de Sociología celebrado en la Universidad de Huelva entre el 23 y 24 de noviembre de 2018 y organizado por la Asociación Andaluza de Sociología y el área de Sociología de la Universidad de Huelva. Sociedades y fronteras fue el lema IX Congreso Andaluz que planteó una invitación a la reflexión académica y profesional sobre la diversidad de realidades sociales que están construyéndose en la segunda década del siglo XXI. Fronteras físicas y fronteras simbólicas. Fronteras entre el mundo real y el virtual. Fronteras que empujan a la construcción identitaria y a la movilización colectiva. Que contribuyen a ...
Territorio y cultura: desafíos contemporáneos
Los conceptos "territorio" y "cultura" han guiado las reflexiones realizadas en los coloquios de la Facultad de Humanidades y Artes que este libro ha recogido, las cuales han señalado dinámicas de ocupación de escenarios, transformaciones culturales, procesos sociales de afirmación de intereses y reivindicaciones, así como la relación del conflicto armado con el medio ambiente. Con esto se marca un horizonte para continuar en esta búsqueda de compresión de la diversidad étnica y cultural de la región del Pacífico y del país en general, pues antes que cualquier generalización será el devenir situado el que permitirá auscultar el sentido de la existencia.
Información, comunicación y cambio de mentalidad
Este libro es el resultado del trabajo cotidiano de la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad de La Habana y del congreso ICOM que celebra cada dos años: estos son parte de un todo que está abriendo en Cuba los nuevos caminos de la comunicación. Con rigor científico, nivel de reflexión y de información, los autores de esta obra se toman en serio la tarea de explorar la literatura mundial existente, y ello constituye un doble esfuerzo en un país donde el acceso a las fuentes impresas o a Internet es más difícil.
Descolonização e Despatriarcalização à Plurinacionalidade e ao Bem-Viver na Bolívia
A partir da promulgação da Constituição de 2009, que estabelecia o Estado Plurinacional e o Vivir Bien, a Bolívia ampliou um processo de acesso dos povos indígenas aos espaços de poder, bem como efetivou direitos sociais que promoveram a dignidade e qualidade de vida à sua população, em um processo de câmbio visto como um caminho para a descolonização do Estado. Por outro lado, as mulheres, especialmente as indígenas que participaram desse processo, reivindicavam suas pautas, tendo como marco a despatriarcalização do Estado e da sociedade. Nesse sentido, Mujeres Creando e o Feminismo Comunitário de Abya Yala foram vozes ativas nessas construções, organizando-se dentro da p...
