Limited land and resources, along with the overexploitation of tourism and multiple other factors, make peripheral and ultra-peripheral territories relevant cases for studying governance and sustainable development. This book presents case studies of European and Mediterranean regions to study regional development and territorial sustainability, strategic planning, and territorial management and governance. Written by experts in the field, the chapters contained herein provide the reader with a deep understanding, from several perspectives, of the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities of tourism in these specific territories.
To achieve desired territorial sustainability, it is necessary to fully understand all three spheres of sustainable development from different perspectives. The territories, ecosystems, and environments involved in Mediterranean landscapes environments are not an exception. In this regard, specific fields within this main subject should be studied in more detail such as management and conservation strategies, methods for environmental planning, environmental rights and legislation, provided ecosystems services, natural-based solutions, among many other areas Management and Conservation of Mediterranean Environments is a powerful scientific contribution to the issue of territorial sustainability and dynamics, challenges, and opportunities ongoing in Mediterranean landscapes. Chapters cover research in the fields of territorial governance and management, ecosystems, economic growth, sustainability, environmental pollution, and more. This book is a valuable reference tool for academicians, researchers, technicians, decision makers, policymakers, students, and any readers interested in sustainable development and the management of Mediterranean environments.
In the last few years, advances in studies and research associated with the borderlands and the subsequent cross-border cooperation (CBC) have been increased and introduced all over the globe. Such advances essentially affect the cross-border strategies and policies, processes of border cooperation, and several complex border movements. Moreover, similar scenarios are encountered in ultra-peripheral and remote territories and low-density regions. There are common denominators, such as the limited land, water resources, and overexploitation of tourism, among many other factors, that make these specific territories critical case studies concerning their governance and sustainable development a...
In recent years, the world has been changing considerably. Within the many obstacles, barriers, and opportunities, three significant challenges should be considered for the future planning of our territories and cities: seeking to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), facing climate change, and performing a shift towards digitalization. Considering these three challenges, we can work toward a more sustainable future for the environment. The Handbook of Research on Sustainable Development Goals, Climate Change, and Digitalization elaborates on sustainability issues in the planning and development field regarding the environment. This text promotes understanding about the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities for the new decade regarding our common future planning. Covering topics such as circular economy, economic-ecological principles, and sustainable resilience, this book is essential for academicians, researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, technicians, decision makers, practitioners, and students.
The Spanish Civil War left a legacy of destruction, resentment and deep ideological divisions in a country that was attempting to recover from economic stagnation and social inequality. After Franco’s victory, the repression and purge that ensued immersed Spain in a spiral of fear and silence which continued long after the dictator’s death, through ‘the pact of oblivion’ that was observed during the transition to democracy. Memories of the Spanish Civil War: Conflict and Community in Rural Spain attempts to break this silence by recovering the local memories of survivors of the Civil War and the early years of Franco’s dictatorship. Combining oral testimony gathered in one Andalusian village, with archival research, this ethnographic study approaches the expression of memory as an important site of socio-political struggle.
La agricultura de vanguardia demanda fuerza de trabajo que no es satisfecha por lo braceros españoles.En un contexto de éxodo rural, las estrategias de las explotaciones agrícolas se vieron obligadas a abastecerse de jornaleros extranjeros, mediante la Contratación en Origen. A las primeras oleadas polacas, siguieron otras rumanas, marroquíes Actualmente, la contratación en origen ha disminuido, pero los jornaleros extranjeros están presentes en los invernaderos con un nervio económico que los sitúa fuera de la crisis.
El desarrollo local ha experimentado fuertes metamorfosis que lo han hecho sobrevivir, desaparecer o reforzase. Anclar las riquezas naturales y culturales y sus cadenas productivas al territorio debe ser un objetivo esencial del desarrollo local, evitando desarrollos espúreos y deslocalizaciones que desmantelen el tejido productivo. Desde esta perspectiva, el libro ?Sistemas productivos con anclaje territorial? ofrece una panorámica de la dialéctica que enfrenta, aparentemente, el avanzar y el afianzar los procesos de desarrollo. Por suerte, las tecnologías disruptivas están transformando el ciclo de la producción y los modelos de negocio, liberando a los ámbitos locales de la tiranía de las economías de escala.
El desarrollo local es también una práctica y un saber de fronteras para poner en valor los territorios y sus desarrollos. En estos momentos de crisis el desarrollo local ha experimentado fuertes metamorfosis que lo han hecho sobrevivir, desaparecer o reforzarse, especialmente en los territorios de fronteras, donde hay muchas tareas por hacer.
Esta obra nos sumerge en esta apasionante parte de nuestra historia que nos hizo pasar, casi de repente, de una vida agrícola a una industrial y nos permitió atisbar los primeros pasos de la globalización económica. Fue este momento el gran impuldor de la revolución industrial en Huelva con la implantación de los sistemas de transporte por ferrocarril, que con anterioridad se venían realizando a lomos de caballerías.
Los campos de invernaderos, las relaciones Marruecos-UE, el laberinto normativo de la contratación, el perfil del temporero todos ellos aspectos clave analizados en este libro que estudia la contratación en origen. Los polos de desarrollo agrario bajo plástico han consolidado un mercado de trabajo donde la presencia de jornaleros extranjeros es imprescindible. Sin embargo la competencia ha dejado de ser la clave para el éxito; ahora es necesario profundizar en otros valores distintos a la producción agraria: el impacto de las migraciones, codesarrollo, alianzas estratégicas de los agronegocios y las relaciones institucionales hispano-marroquíes y europeas.
