The 'new economic geography' is one of the most significant developments to have occurred in economics in recent years. The new insights gained from this approach have been successfully applied to issues such as globalization, international integration and policy competition. Contributed to and edited by leading international academics, this topical book analyzes the research inspired by this 'new economic geography' and examines the ensuing policy implications. Issues that are connected to this approach such as core-periphery patterns, transportation costs and economic modelling are also explored in depth. Increasing integration of the world economy and the 2004 enlargement of the European Union amongst other factors, have combined to change the geography of economics. Now two renowned authorities have come together to edit this contemporary text on location and competition for students, academics and researchers in the field.

This timely book explores the demand for leadership in today’s turbulent world. Based on a wealth of academic research, it offers insights and tools that help understand what turbulence does to leaders and their organizations, and how leadership can be effective.Harry Garretsen and Janka Stoker define turbulence as a multi-level phenomenon affecting both societies and organizations, proposing ways in which leaders can navigate through.

The first part of the book also shows how leaders are affected by turbulence, and how they can effectively guide organizations and societies through unprecedented upheavals. Based on these state-of-the-art insights, in part 2 renowned academic experts provide guidance into the behaviors, mindsets, and practices effective leaders need to foster resilience, vision, and identity in turbulent contexts.Leadership in a Turbulent Era is an essential toolkit for students and academics in leadership, organizational behavior and strategic management. Its focus on the combination of research and practice will also greatly benefit business and public leaders, management consultants and human resources professionals.

This book argues that the coordination problem lies at the heart of Keynes’s economics. It shows how Keynes’s message got lost in the post-War period and develops a more fruitful extension of Keynes’s ideas within a general equilibrium framework and alternative frameworks such as post Keynesian and Austrian economics. It is demonstrated that in the absence of a coordinating device like the Walrasian auctioneer or in the presence of uncertainty, coordination can no longer be superimposed. This ultimately implies that apart from some notable exceptions, the Keynesian revolution was in fact stifled at birth because the validity of the central concepts of microeconomics have never been challenged.This lively and fascinating book is likely to provoke debate amongst economists and policymakers. Its conclusions place a question mark over the development of economic theory since the Second World War.
