Andrienetta Kritzinger, Stephanie Barrientos, H M Rossouw
The era of global flexibility has been described as one of generalised
precariouness and vulnerability. Global integration is leading to changing
patterns of employment, with declining permanent and increasingly insecure forms

Reintegration into the global economy is leading to both the ‘modernisation’ and
transformation of ... hiện toàn bộ

Emilie M. Bassi, John R. Parkins, Ken J. Caine
AbstractMeat production and consumption is hotly debated in many parts of the
world, in part because of ongoing animal welfare concerns. Drawing on several
contending positions about the role of human agency in social practices, coupled
with a sociology of emotion, we empirically identify a range of perspectives on
the role of emotions in social practices. Drawing on a narrative inquiry method

B.B. Bock
AbstractRural development in Europe is a long‐standing issue that has been
supported through EU policies in various ways. The effects of rural development
have been uneven, and differences between well‐to‐do and marginal rural areas

introduced as t... hiện toàn bộ

economy of rural space’ from a British perspective. It details the trajectory of
what is termed the ‘consumption countryside’ that is, the sets of increasingly
diverse ruralities which tie rural space and people to the provision of goods
and services that can be consumed by those in and beyond their particular
boundaries. Th... hiện toàn bộ
Synergy and Coherence through Collective Action: Some Insights from Wine Routes in TuscanySociologia Ruralis - Tập 40 Số 4 - Trang 409-423 - 2000
Gianluca Brunori, Adanella Rossi
A wine route can be seen as a network established around the theme of wine. The
impressive economic impact that the establishment of the Costa degli Etruschi
wine route has had on the farms involved is traced back in this article to the
collective action that produces synergies and coherence. Synergies can be
defined as linkages between two or more entities, whose joint effort produces

the local supermarket and the perceived effects of its closure over time. The
results show that respondents state that the liveability and status of the
village have ... hiện toàn bộ
The Missing Link: Intersecting Governance and Trade in the Space of Place and the Space of FlowsSociologia Ruralis - Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 384-399 - 2007
Simon R. Bush, Peter Oosterveer
AbstractCommodity chains that once involved a stepwise progression through
multiple global, national and local scales are increasingly controlled through
new ‘spaces’ of information and access, beyond the reach of scale‐dependent
governance regimes such as the state. Thus, to determine the geography of trade,
the source and influence of information and the relevance of governance systems
which med... hiện toàn bộ
