Small and Medium Enterprises in India Infirmities and Asymmetries in Industrial Clusters

Small and Medium Enterprises in India Infirmities and Asymmetries in Industrial Clusters

Small and medium enterprises (SME) have attracted increasing interest in the last few years and industrialization is no longer seen as a linear way of development. This book analyzes how SME clusters emerge in a developing economy. Using India as a case study it addresses one central question: If growth has largely failed to be inclusive so far and if employing a work force in increasing returns activities through a different trajectory of industrialization is largely dependent upon industrial clusters of small and medium sized firms then what are the structural infirmities and asymmetries that need to be taken into account in the context of framing policies related to industrial clusters? The book identifies the structural infirmities in industrial clusters in India which could be typical to any of the developing countries and sharply in contrast to European success stories. Blending theory and empirical material it provides a middle ground between the two extremes of a uniform policy assuming ‘one size fits all’ and a specific policy based on individual cases. The book redraws the broad contours where space and production processes mutually constitute each other giving rise to outcomes somewhat generic to underdevelopment.

Creative Approaches to Planning and Local Development Insights from Small and Medium-Sized Towns in Europe

Creative Approaches to Planning and Local Development Insights from Small and Medium-Sized Towns in Europe

This book project highlights creative approaches to planning and local development. The dynamic complexity diversity and fluidity which characterize contemporary society represent challenges for planning and development endeavours. While research and policy work has extensively focused on large cities and on metropolitan regions there has been relatively little work on ‘smaller places’. This book shows that if these new challenges affect all places and regions small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs) are suffering many specific problems that call imperatively for the design and implementation of very imaginative creative approaches to planning and local development. What could enhance creativity in local development and planning? Is it possible to talk about creative capacity building at the level of a town that might release imaginative and innovative activities? Under what local and non-local conditions is creativity being initiated and flourishing? What are the major obstacles and in what way can these be contained in order to safeguard pockets of creative action? Interdisciplinary and with case studies from France Norway and other European countries this volume presents a wide range of approaches and territorial contexts of small cities and towns in which spatial dynamics and the consequences of the city-region for urban planning theory and practice in Europe are highlighted with a special focus on the challenges for - and understanding of - planning and development of SMSTs. It provides a significant body of critical comparative and contextual perspectives on the quest for urban sustainability and resilience in SMSTs therefore emphasizing collaborative and potentially innovative approaches that can be detected but also the shortcomings pitfalls and 'traps' that can lie behind the approaches aimed at concerting ecological economic and socio-cultural concerns and the discourses promoting them. | Creative Approaches to Planning and Local Development Insights from Small and Medium-Sized Towns in Europe

Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017

Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017

Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand it symbolises much that is outmoded: imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural aristocratic Englishness. On the other it endures as a global game and does so by skilful adaptation trading partly on its mythic past and partly on its capacity to repackage itself. This ambitious new history recounts the politics of cricket around the world since the Second World War examining key cultural and political themes including decolonisation racism gender globalisation corruption and commercialisation. Part One looks at the transformation of cricket cultures in the ten territories of the former British Empire in the years immediately after 1945 a time when decolonisation and the search for national identity touched every cricket playing region in the world. Part Two focuses on globalisation and the game’s evolution as an international sport analysing: social change and the Ashes; the campaigns for new cricket formats; the development of the women’s game; the new breed of coach; the limits to the game’s global expansion; and the rise of India as the world’s leading cricket power. Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017 is fascinating reading for anybody interested in the contemporary history of sport.
