Globally and Locally: Seeking a Middle Path to Sustainable Development

Globally and Locally tackles the economic difficulties of succeeding in a world that is increasingly global while surviving on the local level. It brings together the ideas of several scholars on the political and economic strategies to follow in the modern global market. The editors examine the United States, Scotland, and Japan on the corporate, community, and regional levels and make recommendations to improve the present economic structures without completely replacing them. Each concept focuses on the unique goal of charting a "middle path" that binds theory with practice, culture with nature, economy with ecology, and the global with the local. A strategy is devised for global success without neglecting matters such as culture, the environment, small towns, or rural areas.
