Immigration, local policy, and national identity in the suburban United States
  • Immigration, local policy, and national identity in the suburban United States
  • Chicago ; Ethnic minority ; Illinois ; Immigration policy ; International migration ; National identity ; Suburbs ; United States of America ; Urban policy ; Washington D.C.
  • This article examines four local immigration policies in the Chicago and Washington DC metropolitan areas to explain how suburbs justify their policy positions. It shows that these suburban communities rely on conceptions of American identity
  • and the ‘American Dream’ in support of their policies, but leverage these tropes in vastly different ways depending on the broader strategic purposes of the policies. These divergent suburban immigration policies both challenge traditional notions of suburban
  • political and cultural homogeneity and reveal how such heterogeneity has produced a distinct unevenness in contemporary local policy responses to undocumented immigration within metropolitan regions.

Agglomeration and regional growth policy: externalities versus comparative advantages
  • Agglomeration and regional growth policy: externalities versus comparative advantages
  • Cluster ; Depressed region ; Externalities ; Regional economy ; Regional policy
  • This paper explores the existence of different types of static and dynamic externalities and shows the relationship between externalities, interregional trade, and cluster policy. First, it contributes to a better characterization of dynamic
  • to the clustering mode of production in the regional context. Third, the paper contributes to give a more accurate theoretic basis to the regional cluster policy and to help policy-makers in choosing the right policy for increasing the well-being of depressed
  • regions. The major conclusion is that policy must pursue a combination of the comparative advantage principle with one type of dynamic externalities un-covered in this paper: the “related variety benefits” of agglomeration.

Institutional conditions and innovation systems : on the impact of regional policy on firms in different sectors
  • Institutional conditions and innovation systems : on the impact of regional policy on firms in different sectors
  • Agribusiness ; Chemical industry ; Economic sector ; Firm ; Industrial cluster ; Innovation ; Regional economy ; Regional policy ; Scania ; Sweden
  • This paper deals with institutional conditions in regional innovation systems: how institutions affect the organization of innovation activities among firms; and in what ways regional policy initiatives can be supportive. The analysis draws on data
  • on innovation networks, activities, and regional policies targeting the life science, media and food industries in Scania, Sweden. The study takes account of the ways in which regional policies can impact individuals' and organizations' action in relation
  • to each other by being internalized. It is argued that such ability is decisive for the success or failure of the policy initiative.

Agricultural Landscape Sustainability under Pressure : Policy Developments and Landscape Change
  • Agricultural Landscape Sustainability under Pressure : Policy Developments and Landscape Change
  • Pathways towards Local Scale Policy Integration in Agricultural Landscapes
  • Agricultural landscape ; Agricultural policy ; Agriculture ; Counterurbanization ; Denmark ; Farmer ; Planning ; Sustainable development ; Urbanization
  • Agricultural landscape sustainability is affected by combinations of agricultural developments and various forms of urbanisation. This paper analyses how public policy, including spatial planning, has responded over time and affected these two
  • differently to full-time farmers, while they also affect demand for land and thus price levels. Furthermore, long-term and recent developments in public policy as responses to changing agricultural landscapes are analysed and discussed. With a focus on counter
  • -urbanisation, the paper discusses how agricultural policies, environmental policies and spatial planning policies are poorly integrated and—when viewed together—fail to respond to the intersecting dynamics of agricultural developments and urbanisation
  • . The paper proposes a collaborative landscape planning approach to ensure policy integration and to promote agricultural landscape sustainability.

  • as a whole, might improve their community garden policies are discussed.

Measurementality’ in biodiversity governance : knowledge, transparency, and the Intergovernmental Science–Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
  • Measurementality’ in biodiversity governance : knowledge, transparency, and the Intergovernmental Science–Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
  • This article examines measurementality’ in biodiversity governance through knowledge, transparency, and the Intergovernmental Science–Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). It suggests that this approach aims to coordinate
  • the science–policy interface in order to optimize the generation of user-friendly knowledge of those elements of biodiversity that are considered politically and economically relevant. It concludes that measurementality is part and parcel of the neoliberal
  • paradigm in which science produces the raw materials for subsequent control and exchange and that, as a result, the intersection of science, discourse, policy, and economics within these governance systems requires sustained critical scrutiny.
