[{"id":163629,"title":"Culture and Regional Economic Development in Europe: Cultural, Political and Social Perspectives","subtitle":null,"description":"This book constitutes a selection of the papers presented to the conference that was organized by the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) Standing Group on Regionalism and took place at the University of Thessaly, Volos (Greece) in September 2000. This conference was organized in cooperation with the Department of Planning and Regional Development (University of Thessaly), the Centre for European Studies (University of the West of England, Bristol) and the School of European Studies (Cardiff University, Wales). The main theme is the worldwide growing importance of culture (both in its general sense, i.e. including tourism and sports, and its specific sense, i.e. cultural heritage) in the process of regional economic development. In addition, the cultural, political and social perspectives of regional development are examined. The sub-themes of the book, which reflect the specificities of culture are: i) integration, globalization and local development, ii) the socio-political, economic and cultural evolution of European regions, iii) transregional groupings and cooperation, iv) regional attitudes to multiculturalism, v) entrepreneurship, innovation and regional development, vi) aspects of tourism, vii) the urban dimension of cultural planning, and viii) the management of cultural heritage.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b166658.jpg","isbn":"960-8029-21-X","isbn13":"978-960-8029-21-7","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":470,"publication_year":2003,"publication_place":"Βόλος","price":"25.0","price_updated_at":"2011-05-24","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":406,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":166658,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/culture-and-regional-economic-development-in-europe-cultural-political-social-perspectives.json"},{"id":163628,"title":"Regional Development and Cross-Border Cooperation in Southeastern Europe","subtitle":null,"description":"This volume brings together contributions of academics and researchers from Southeastern European countries dealing with the issue of regional development and cross-border cooperation. Southeastern European states are characterized by intense regional disparities with respect to welfare levels, unemployment, economic and social infrastructure and various forms of business performance. In several countries disparities have increased considerably, leaving behind rural, peripheral and border regions. This development deteriorates the existing asymmetries of the Balkans, which is the least developed and most fragmented macro-region in Europe, with the poorest transition performance and the weaker economic structure.\u003cbr\u003eIn many cases, less advanced regions are located in border areas, requiring a combination of regional and cross-border cooperation policies in order to achieve economic development. Cross-border cooperation is a multi-dimensional process, enveloping cooperative activities in many spheres and among many different actors, which is a critical condition for most Balkan countries for their development and their accession to the European Union.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume consists of two parts. The first part is dealing with issues of regional development. It analyzes the type and degree of the problem and discusses policy issues at the local or regional level. The second part focuses on cross-border cooperation in Southeastern Europe, which was very limited in the recent past, due to institutional, cultural, political and economic constraints.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b166657.jpg","isbn":"960-8029-25-2","isbn13":"978-960-8029-25-5","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":261,"publication_year":2003,"publication_place":"Βόλος","price":"15.0","price_updated_at":"2011-05-24","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":406,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":166657,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/regional-development-and-crossborder-cooperation-in-southeastern-europe.json"},{"id":163626,"title":"International and Monetary Aspects of Transition in Southeastern Europe","subtitle":null,"description":"This volume provides a comprehensive account of international and monetary factors that have a decisive influence on the transition process in the countries of Southeastern Europe. The geographical reorientation of trade, its new sectoral structure, increasing competition, market lead integration in the international economy, greater openness, capital movement, new conditions for monetary policies and new exchange rates regimes are only some phenomena that shape the path of transition and influence strongly the prospects for stability and development in the region.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is divided in four parts. The first part is devoted to the evolution and structure of the trade relations of the Balkan countries, while the second part investigates the evolution of foreign direct investments in the region with a special focus on their determinants. The role of monetary and exchange rate policy in the transition process of the Balkan countries is examined in the third part, while the fourth part of this volume refers to the initiatives, evolution and prospects of regional economic integration in Southeastern Europe.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b166655.jpg","isbn":"960-8029-23-6","isbn13":"978-960-8029-23-1","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":328,"publication_year":2003,"publication_place":"Βόλος","price":"15.0","price_updated_at":"2011-05-24","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":406,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":166655,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/international-and-monetary-aspects-of-transition-in-southeastern-europe.json"},{"id":163689,"title":"Ηράκλειτος Εφέσιος","subtitle":null,"description":"Ο λόγος του Ηράκλειτου είναι σημαντικός και πολυσήμαντος.
