| Abstract
|
:
|
This book's thesis is that localism is the crucial complement to globalism. This is supported by a range of European case studies, incl: Sweden, Austria, Portugal, Greece, United Kingdom. Local responses to globalizing forces depend on the nature of the interlinkages in governance from international structures, through multilateral organizations to nation states, regions and localities, as these are mediated through social-local identity. The contributors draw on numerous themes in examining the interaction between the global and the local, such as 'decay and revitalization', 'local identity and empowerment', 'opportunism through sustainability' and 'governance for the transition'.
