Inclusive development is defined as a new approach to development by developing an increasingly open environment, inviting and inclusive of everyone with different backgrounds, characteristics, abilities, status, conditions, ethnicities, and cultures. Urban development in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, requires a more specific approach, particularly related to the inclusive social development paradigm, which emphasizes human interaction and participation. The inclusive social development paradigm highlights important structural, social, and cultural aspects. This book demonstrates that these three aspects of development do not stand alone but are interconnected and mutually supportive, which in turn reveals how they operate. Relevant for urbanologists, city policy makers, environmental social scientists, development studies academics, and sociologists, this book is a timely contribution to discussions about Indonesian cities, their present, and their future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henny Warsilah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53628155035975,"sku":"9789819545308","price":149.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5455\/2903\/files\/global-cities-in-indonesia-ebook.webp?v=1775018885"},{"product_id":"geographys-media-turn-ebook","title":"Geography's Media Turn","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Media Are Our Situation: An Introduction to Geography’s Media Turn (Chris Lukinbeal and Stanley D.

Drawing on a real-world case of a European Virtual Reality (VR) training system prepared for deployment in Malaysia’s aerospace sector, this book investigates the cultural and cognitive translations necessary to ensure any design tool's success in a new context. Rather than documenting failure, it offers a blueprint for preventing it—by listening, adapting, and designing with local realities in mind. Drawing from ethnographic research, interviews, and human-centered design principles, this book explores the concept of anthropotechnology, aligning technology with local learning habits, social dynamics, and cultural expectations. It introduces the concept of the Anthropotechnological Islet, a bridging structure that enables imported systems to fit meaningfully into different environments before they are operationalized. The Islet is not a compromise between systems but a generative space for innovation that fosters cross-cultural adaptation and learning. This book is both a research monograph and a design manifesto. It tells the story of how a VR tool was reshaped—not just through technical refinement, but through cultural insight, institutional collaboration, and cognitive empathy. It offers practical guidance for those working in training, design, and technology transfer, especially in transnational or cross-cultural settings. In an increasingly globalized world, this book invites readers to rethink how we design for difference—early, intentionally, and with respect for local ways of knowing and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noor Ashikin Said","offers":[{"title":"Default

Rethinking and developing urban and regional spaces require new understanding and research methods in economic geography. This is achieved by exploring how value chains influence and address territorial development. It is argued that territorial development is closely connected to local control of production networks, especially concerning social and environmental sustainability. This argument is supported by ten case studies from various countries (Argentina, Ecuador, the United States, and several from Spain or authored by Spanish scholars). The chapters offer readers a chance to explore the different elements that make up value chains. The book also provides an opportunity to understand the usefulness of value chains in relation to current economic geography dynamics.

Based on an evolutionary approach, the book directly assesses variability in Roma mothers’ parental care using data from UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys 5 and 6 for the Roma settlements in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The book includes useful information about Roma communities in the Western Balkans and their history and sufferings in the region. It reviews this history against the data on unwanted childbearing globally and in low- and middle-income countries. It addresses concerns related to Roma people's integration into European society, despite their longstanding presence in Europe. The book analyses the existence of health differentials among Roma children themselves, suggesting that some children are especially vulnerable. Therefore, it critically assesses how multiple (levels of) vulnerabilities affect differential Roma parental investment in children.

Unlike some existing works that focus primarily on Mills’ theoretical contributions or political commitments, this book weaves together the personal, intellectual, and political dimensions of Mills’ life, providing readers a comprehensive point of view. The authors show how Mills developed a coherent intellectual framework against which he could undertake an analysis of the unequal distribution of power. They re-read the works of C. Wright Mills within an epistemological framework that gives pride of place to classical sociology and its great authors. They also build bridges between the critical sociology of Pierre Bourdieu and the \"politics of truth\" proposed by Mills. The book emphasizes the contemporary relevance of Mills’ ideas. By drawing parallels between Mills’ insights and current sociological works, it offers readers reading grids for a better understanding of today’s world. Rediscovering the sociological work of C.

In addition, this book challenges popular perceptions that individuals or actors are the primaries, if not the only, factors that impede or promote a party’s unity.

The next set of chapters investigate the influence of systematic cadreization on the development of esprit de corps, in which accomplishments rather than likes or dislikes define a cadre’s position, and finally, the effect of commitment to the party’s shared values or agreed-upon ideology on putting the party’s interests first is examined.

It tries to explore the deep code of state governance, describe the  characteristics of China's state, and summarize the micro-experience and mechanism of state  construction. This book tries to put forward the path of state building with \"compound country\" and  holds that contemporary China is a compound country with both tradition and modernity. On the one  hand, the state is increasingly focusing on the introduction and creation of modern governance rules; on  the other hand, traditional rules still play an important role in national governance. More importantly,  traditional rules and modern rules are often intertwined to jointly influence the shape of national  governance, which not only shapes the \"Chinese road\" of state building but also adds many uncertain  factors to China's path toward a modern state. The most important features and benefits of the book are:  1. The field investigation of this book is in-depth, and the data is relatively solid and systematic. The  author explains the interactive relationship between the government (state) and farmers through rich  and readable stories of farmers' petitions.  2.This book deeply analyzes the function mechanism of village social structure factors such as clan,  faction, and stratum differentiation in farmers’ petitions. While paying attention to the interaction  process between the state and society, it also pays attention to the function of structural variables, so as  to unify the structure and process.  3.From the perspective of the relationship between state power and rural society, this book divides  China's rural areas into four types: developed eastern areas, clan areas, family fragmentation areas, and  atomized areas.
