Sustainable Development of Territories in Contexts of Uncertainty

The pursuit of development has increasingly prioritized sustainability. Sustainable approaches to development and adopting people’s well-being as a main goal have substantial implications for the competitiveness of territories. When viewed through a nature lens, sustainability maintains a close connection with circular economy. If sustainability is the paradigm to which the world needs to commit, businesses, policy makers and people have to deal with the difficulties and uncertainties arising from those requirements and other severe phenomena, like international armed conflicts and pandemic crises. By using case studies, this book addresses territorial bottlenecks and grapples with social and developmental challenges. The book intends to function as a practical guide for policymakers and practitioners, providing them with the knowledge necessary to adopt and implement sustainable development strategies. It advocates the implementation of socially inclusive policies and the adoption of innovative governance models able to safeguard democratic principles while enhancing the efficacy of decision-making processes.

Moreover, it has become an immediate need to conserve natural and cultural heritage for the maintenance of the world’s diversity. The present anthology, divided into three sections and comprising 16 chapters, addresses the need of sustainable and responsible tourism. It provides vib...

Compatriots Or Competitors?

This is the first comparative study of the distinctive literatures and cultures that have developed in Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland since political devolution in the late 1990s, especially surrounding Brexit. The book argues that in conceptualising their cultures as 'national', each nation is caught up in a creative tension between emulating forms of cultural production found in the others to assert common aspirations, and downplaying those connections in order to forge a sense of cultural distinctiveness. The author explores the resulting dilemmas, with chapters analysing the growth of the creative industries; the relationship between UK City of Culture and its forerunner, the European Capital of Culture; national book prizes in Britain and Europe; British variations on Nordic Noir TV; and the Brexit novel. With regard to separate cultural precursors and responses in each nation, Brexit itself is debated as a factor that has widened their differences, placing the future of the UK in question.

Nos 50 Anos do 25 de Abril: Memórias e Reflexões Sobre as Mudanças da Sociedade Portuguesa

Se a revolução ocorrida em Portugal a 25 de abril de 1974 foi, para quem a viveu, um processo único, que não esquecerá, fazia todo o sentido que, na comemoração dos 50 anos do evento, se voltasse às memórias de alguns que nela participaram ou foram dela testemunho. Mais: mantendo presente os objetivos que informaram o Movimento dos Capitães, também pareceu que tinha cabimento que alguma análise de natureza académica fosse feita das transformações que foram ocorrendo na sociedade portuguesa ao longo do período volvido. Em razão disso, este livro apresenta-se estruturado em duas partes: a primeira é dedicada à apresentação de testemunhos ou memórias; e a segunda inclui te...
