Three Decades of Polish Socio-Economic Transformations
This edited volume analyses and discusses the systematisation of Polish socio-economic transformations of the last three decades using selected examples of the most important changes. 1989 marked the onset of the political transformation process in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The transition involved a shift from a socialist system to a parliamentary democracy and from a command economy to a market one. Due to the deep economic crisis that culminated in 1988 and the peaceful model of change developed and implemented in Poland, the magnitude and manner of implementing various initiatives was unprecedented and had specific implications. This transformation opened P...
Measuring Regional Specialisation
This book explores statistical models in regional specialization, presenting a brand new measure. It begins by reviewing existing indicators and models of regional specialization before outlining a newly created, spatially embedded model of specialization based on the spatial distribution of firms. It addresses the various applications of the model, and how the model can be used in regional policy.
European Regional Development
This book offers a comprehensive overview of contemporary issues of regional development. It places particular emphasis on its socio-economic and socio-political determinants which accompany the problem of existing and ever-widening differences in the level of regional development in various parts of Europe. In order to diagnose the scale of those differences and to indicate the main forces behind the divergence of development, the authors propose an original systematisation of regional development factors, drawing attention to the need to consider them within the framework of present-day socio-economic megatrends. The proposed approach to the development factors is also used for the author'...
Nature, Society, and Marginality
This book focuses on the interrelations between nature and humans, in particular on those segments of societies that have been left behind (marginal groups). Nature is both the friend of humans and their adversary, depending on the way people treat and use it. Consequently, the book adopts a wide perspective of marginality: nature that has been marginalized by man (ecological marginality), but also social groups marginalized by politics, economic interests, and value judgements imbedded in culture. Many chapters deal specifically with issues in Nepal, but along with the other chapters with case studies from Southeast Asia and other regions, they demonstrate that the major man-nature problems are the same everywhere and can only be solved by constructive politics through clear regulations, convincing actions and general acceptance.

Prawo do miasta a wyzwania polityki miejskiej w Polsce
Procesy i zdarzenia obserwowane w ostatnich latach na świecie wymagają adekwatnej odpowiedzi naukowej. Jedną z jej form jest redefiniowanie, dostosowywanie wcześniejszych koncepcji teoretycznych. Dotyczy to również wyzwań, wobec których stają miasta i polityka miejska. Coraz bardziej zauważalne zmiany klimatyczne i pandemia skłaniają do pogłębionej refleksji w tym zakresie. Jednym z jej punktów odniesienia jest koncepcja prawa do miasta. Zaproponowana wiele lat temu, wciąż stanowi przedmiot szerokiej międzynarodowej dyskusji (a także działań wdrożeniowych). Celem monografii jest próba dostosowania koncepcji prawa do miasta do aktualnych wyzwań miast polskich. Zadania podjęli się autorzy reprezentujący zróżnicowane dyscypliny i różne punkty widzenia: Maciej Cesarski, Paweł Churski, Jerzy Hausner, Hubert Izdebski, Tomasz Kaczmarek, Tomasz Komornicki, Tadeusz Markowski, Rafał Matyja, Maciej J. Nowak, Krzysztof Simon, Robert Simon, Marek S. Szczepański, Przemysław Śleszyński, Anna Śliz.

Dilemmas of Regional and Local Development
Dilemmas of Regional and Local Development aims to identify, diagnose and evaluate various approaches towards regional and local socio-economic development. Over the course of the book, authors from 12 countries and four continents come together to review experiences and solutions related to regional development in a range of different economic, social and political systems. The first part of the volume focuses on the fundamentals of planning regional and local development, particularly focusing on theoretical solutions and development policy concepts. The second part is more applied, looking at practical instruments and solutions for shaping the local economy, and analysing effective development policy. This book will be of interest to economics, geography, politics, and planning scholars and researchers working on regional sciences and local development.
