Urban and peri-urban land markets in rapidly expanding West African cities operate within and across different coexisting tenure regimes and involve complex procedures to obtain or make land available for housing.

Based on extensive ethnographic and quantitative research, conducted in Ukraine and Russia between 2004 and 2012, this book s central argument is that for many people the informal economy, such as cash in hand work, subsistence production and the use of social networks, is of great importance to everyday life. Formal work is both a facilitator of such processes and is often supported by them, as people can only afford to undertake low paid formal work as a result of their informal incomes. By looking at the informal nature of formal work and practices, informal practices, gift giving,...

ISBN: 9783642446887 / Angielski / Miękka / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Elements of such an approach are presented in this book in a number of domains: integrating transport infrastructure and land use planning,...

This book introduces the reader to local development economics and policy, with a special focus on the place-based paradigm that covers its justification, its difficulties, and the types of public intervention that it suggests. The starting point for the analysis is that economic development in lagging places is not to be expected as the result of a mechanism of automatic convergence between backward and advanced regions and that, therefore, the most appropriate development policy is not to maximize competition among all agents in all sectors and places. The failure of the Washington...
