The Global Challenge and Marginalization

Economists, geographers, and other social scientists from 14 countries look at those adversely effected by globalization in highly differentiated societies. Among their topics are the impact of tourism on Alaska, the Umthati School Garden Project in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, the Madrid Historical District between marginality and regeneration, territorial practices of the Sami people and the Swedish state, the global governance response to informal settlements, and a rural Southern US county faces harsh realities.
