Development Issues and Strategies in the New Europe
This book, based on a conference organized by the University of Joensuu within the training programme of the Council of Europe, brings together a leading group of development theorists and researchers in the field of geography and regional science. The book examines different development processes which are prevailing in the European regions in transition. The individual articles deal with spatio-economic restructuring in the European fringe areas, ie outside the well developed main core of Europe, bringing to light the diversity of local, regional and interregional development problems and responding strategies in the enlarged Europe. Effects of supranational integration, local opportunities and transborder connections and urban-rural structures in transition are analysed. The book presents topical development issues in the new Europe from Greece to Norway and from Estonia to Spain and Ireland.
Russian Renewable Energy
What is Russia's potential as a partner in the global race towards a low-carbon economy? This book provides a balanced analysis of Russia's impressive, understudied and sometimes surprising strengths in the renewable energy sector. The work is a first of its kind, exploring the significant political and economic obstacles to developing renewable energy in Russia. The volume explores whether effective partnerships may be achieved by combining Russia's excellence in basic research and its diverse natural resources with Western management skills - and aiming for innovation and exports. Solar power, electricity reform, market niches for renewable energy and Nordic-Russian partnership are all examined in detail. Providing crucial insights for academics, policy-makers and business actors seeking to cooperate with Russian partners, this groundbreaking book raises the vitally important question of how key countries such as Russia will approach global climate politics and their own energy supply in the post-Kyoto world.

El Terrible: Life and Labor in Pueblonuevo, 1887-1939
This book is a biography of Pueblonuevo del Terrible, a mining town located in Andalusia, Spain. Based on previously unexamined sources, the study paints a fresh portrait of industrial workers and their families in Córdoba province, enriching our understanding of this mostly agricultural region. Previous studies of laboring communities in Spain have identified radical workers, miners among them, as a destabilizing element due to their insurgent protest activity, including lethal violence. This study, by contrast, describes both worker activism and cross-class organizing as constructive, not destructive, and aimed at integration into Spanish society. Economically, the mining zone was dominat...
