Partnerships for Regional Innovation and Development Implementing Smart Specialization in Europe

This monograph presents the experience in the implementation of smart specialization strategies (S3) from multilevel policy governance as well as from the bottom-up perspectives of firms clusters and networks in selected European countries. The presented research focuses on relevance and feasibility of the S3 adoption emphasizing the importance of linking policy considerations with partnerships at lower governance levels. The major contribution of the presented research rests in theoretical implications and practical recommendations relevant for the implementation of regional S3 in the European context with the possibility of place-based adoption in other environments. The book is also valuable for synthesizing the most recent advancements in smart specialization as a policy concept and the concept of transformation and growth for territorial units and economic entities. This book aims to further diffuse and expand the academic community’s learning of the new S3 approach in Europe and beyond. The book will be of interest and useful to the academic community of researchers and doctoral students focused on regional innovation development and related policy as well as on entrepreneurship networks and clusters. Public sector professionals dealing with regional development regional innovation policies and industrial transformation will also benefit from its content. | Partnerships for Regional Innovation and Development Implementing Smart Specialization in Europe

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture

Memory matters. It matters because memory brings the past into the present and opens it up to the future. But it also matters literally because memory is mediated materially. Materiality is the stuff of memory. Meaningful objects that we love (or hate) function not only as aide-mémoire but are integral to memory. Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality this book applies recent theories of new materialism to explore the material dimension of memory in art and popular culture. The book’s underlying premise is twofold: on the one hand memory is performed mediated and stored through the material world that surrounds us; on the other hand inanimate objects and things also have agency on their own which affects practices of memory as well as forgetting.

Housing Careers Intergenerational Support and Family Relations

In this comprehensive volume authors from across the social sciences explore how housing wealth transfers have impacted the integration of families society and the economy with a focus on the (re)negotiation of the ‘generational contract’. While housing has always been central to the realization and reproduction of families more recently the mutual embedding of home and family has become more obvious as realignments in housing markets employment and welfare states have worked together to undermine housing access for new households enhancing intergenerational interdependencies. More families have thus become involved in smoothening the routes of younger adult members into and up the ‘housing ladder’. While intergenerational support appears to have become much more widespread it remains highly differentiated across countries cities and regions as well as uneven between social and income classes. This book addresses the increasing role that family support and intergenerational transfers in particular are playing in sustaining the formation of new households and the transition of young adults towards social and economic autonomy. The authors draw on diverse international cases and a variety of methodologies in order to advance our understanding of housing as a key driver of contemporary social relations and inequalities.

Law and Time

Research on law's relationship with time has flourished over the past decade. This edited collection aims to put law and time scholarship into wider context advancing conversations on time and temporalities between socio-legal scholars anthropologists sociologists geographers and historians. Through a diverse range of contributions the collection explores how legal modalities of time emerge and have effects within wider clusters of social and political action. Themes include: law’s diverse roles in maintaining linear historicist models of time; law’s participation in the materialisation of times; and the unsteady effects of temporal pluralism and polytemporalities in law. De-naturalising the ‘time’ in law and time scholarship this collection positions time as something that can be enacted and materialised as well as experienced with distinct implications for questions of social justice.

Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities East meets West

Growing inequalities in Europe are a major challenge threatening the sustainability of urban communities and the competiveness of European cities. While the levels of socio-economic segregation in European cities are still modest compared to some parts of the world the poor are increasingly concentrating spatially within capital cities across Europe. An overlooked area of research this book offers a systematic and representative account of the spatial dimension of rising inequalities in Europe. This book provides rigorous comparative evidence on socio-economic segregation from 13 European cities. Cities include Amsterdam Athens Budapest London Milan Madrid Oslo Prague Riga Stockholm Tallinn Vienna and Vilnius. Comparing 2001 and 2011 this multi-factor approach links segregation to four underlying universal structural factors: social inequalities global city status welfare regimes and housing systems.

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

The book examines some of the dilemmas surrounding Europe’s open borders migrations and identities through the prism of the Roma – Europe’s most dispersed and socially marginalised population. The volume challenges some of the myths surrounding the Roma as a ‘problem population’ and places the focus instead on the context of European policy and identity debates. It comes to the conclusion that the migration of Roma and the constitution of their communities is shaped by European policy as much as and often more so than by the cultural traits of the Roma themselves. The chapters compare case studies of Roma migrants in Spain Italy France and Britain and the impact of migration on the origin communities in Romania. The study combines historical and ethnographic methods with insights from migration studies drawing on a unique multi-site collaborative project that for the first time gave Roma participants a voice in shaping research into their communities.

Marketisation Ethics and Healthcare Policy Practice and Moral Formation

How does the market affect and redefine healthcare? The marketisation of Western healthcare systems has now proceeded well into its fourth decade. But the nature and meaning of the phenomenon has become increasingly opaque amidst changing discourses policies and institutional structures. Moreover ethics has become focussed on dealing with individual clinical decisions and neglectful of the political economy which shapes healthcare. This interdisciplinary volume approaches marketisation by exploring the debates underlying the contemporary situation and by introducing reconstructive and reparative discourses. The first part explores contrary interpretations of ‘marketisation’ on a systemic level with a view to organisational-ethical formation and the role of healthcare ethics. The second part presents the marketisation of healthcare at the level of policy-making discusses the ethical ramifications of specific marketisation measures and considers the possibility of reconciling market forces with a covenantal understanding of healthcare. The final part examines healthcare workers’ and ethicists’ personal moral standing in a marketised healthcare system with a view to preserving and enriching virtue empathy and compassion.

Visual Representations in Science Concept and Epistemology

Visual representations (photographs diagrams etc. ) play crucial roles in scientific processes. They help for example to communicate research results and hypotheses to scientific peers as well as to the lay audience. In genuine research activities they are used as evidence or as surrogates for research objects which are otherwise cognitively inaccessible. Despite their important functional roles in scientific practices philosophers of science have more or less neglected visual representations in their analyses of epistemic methods and tools of reasoning in science. This book is meant to fill this gap. It presents a detailed investigation into central conceptual issues and into the epistemology of visual representations in science.

Cells in Evolutionary Biology Translating Genotypes into Phenotypes - Past Present Future

This book is the first in a projected series on Evolutionary Cell Biology the intent of which is to demonstrate the essential role of cellular mechanisms in transforming the genotype into the phenotype by transforming gene activity into evolutionary change in morphology. This book —Cells in Evolutionary Biology — evaluates the evolution of cells themselves and the role cells have been viewed to play as agents of change at other levels of biological organization. Chapters explore Darwin’s use of cells in his theory of evolution and how Weismann’s theory of the separation of germ plasm from body cells brought cells to center stage in understanding how acquired changes to cells within generations are not passed on to future generations.

National Interest Organizations in the EU Multilevel System

Political scientists have always accorded interest organizations a prominent place in European Union (EU) policy-making because they connect the EU institutions to citizens provide important information to EU policy-makers and control resources that impact on the problem-solving capacity of EU policies. In other words they are vital to both the input legitimacy and the output legitimacy of the EU. So far research on interest organizations in EU policy-making has concentrated on EU-level interest organizations and EU-level politics. This edited book draws attention to the role national interest organizations play in the EU multilevel system.

Classical Heritage and European Identities The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of classical antiquity have been used to construct European identities and especially the concept of citizenship in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day. It implements a critical historiographical perspective in line with recent work on the reception of classical antiquity that has stressed the dialectic relationship between past present and future. Arguing that the continuous employment and appropriation of lassical heritages in the Danish context constitutes an interesting case of an imagined geography that is simultaneously based on both national and European identities the book shows how Denmark’s imagined geography is naturalized through very distinctive uses of classical heritages within the educational and heritage sectors.

Whole-of-Society Peacebuilding

The complex problems of peace security and development in societies affected by conflict increasingly demand innovative ideas and comprehensive strategies to tackle the diverse simultaneous and daunting challenges faced in trying to rebuild states and communities after war. This comprehensive collection sets out a ‘Whole-of-Society’ (WoS) approach which focuses on the social contexts within which conflict resolution and prevention take place. The aim of WoS is to grasp the complexity both within local society and in the relations between external peacebuilders and the people they set out to help. The book argues that by understanding multiple actors their relationships and the conditions in which they operate complexity becomes an opportunity to be grasped not simply an impediment to building peace.

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

Questions concerning free will are intertwined with issues in almost every area of philosophy from metaphysics to philosophy of mind to moral philosophy and are also informed by work in different areas of science (principally physics neuroscience and social psychology). Free will is also a perennial concern of serious thinkers in theology and in non-western traditions. Because free will can be approached from so many different perspectives and has implications for so many debates a comprehensive survey needs to encompass an enormous range of approaches. This book is the first to draw together leading experts on every aspect of free will from those who are central to the current philosophical debates to non-western perspectives to scientific contributions and to those who know the rich history of the subject.

All hollow organs such as blood vessels the gastrointestinal tract airways male and female reproductive systems and the urinary bladder are primarily composed of smooth muscle. Such organs regulate flow propulsion and mixing of luminal contents and storage by the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle cells respond to numerous inputs including pressure shear stress intrinsic and extrinsic innervation hormones and other circulating molecules as well as autocrine and paracrine factors. This book is a review of smooth muscle cell regulation in the cardiovascular reproductive GI and other organ systems with emphasis on calcium and receptor signaling. Key selling features:Focuses on smooth muscles of different types Describes ion channel signaling mechanismsReviews calcium and receptor signalingIncludes novel cutting-edge methodologiesSummarizes studies of mice with genetically encoding sensors in smooth muscleChapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a CC-BY 4. 0 license. https://s3-us-west-2. amazonaws. com/tandfbis/rt-files/docs/Open+Access+Chapters/9781498774222_oachapter9. pdf | Signal Transduction and Smooth Muscle
