Il territorio, conteso tra mille interessi conflittuali, ha sempre più bisogno di una progettazione unitaria in quanto bene comune, alla scala in cui si abita, si lavora, si consuma: una scala che comprende luoghi urbani, reti di città, fiumi, valli, zone agricole, entroterra costieri. Rispetto al progetto architettonico e urbano, il progetto di territorio ha regole disciplinari molto più episodiche e settoriali. Esito toscano di una ricerca nazionale sul "progetto di territorio", questo volume propone il concetto di bioregione urbana come metodologia atta ad integrare analisi e progetti su: i prerequisiti ambientali dell'insediamento, la riconfigurazione di sinergie fra città e campagna, il riequilibrio policentrico dei sistemi urbani, i sistemi economici ed energetici a base locale, le forme di autogoverno per uno sviluppo locale autosostenibile a partire dalle regole per la messa in valore dei beni patrimoniali del territorio.

The Pacific Trade and Development (PAFTAD) conference series has been at the forefront of analysing challenges facing the economies of East Asia and the Pacific since its first meeting in Tokyo in January 1968. The 38th PAFTAD conference met at a key time to consider international economic integration. Earlier in the year, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union and the United States elected Donald Trump as their next president on the back of an inward-looking 'America First' promise. Brexit and President Trump represent a growing, and worrying, trend towards protectionism in the North Atlantic countries that have led the process of globalisation since the end of the Second World War. The chapters in the volume describe the state of play in Asian economic integration but, more importantly, look forward to the region's future, and the role it might play in defending the global system that has underwritten its historic rise. Asia has the potential to stand as a bulwark against the dual threats of North Atlantic protectionism and slowing trade growth, but collective leadership will be needed regionally and difficult domestic reforms will be required in each country.

The Case Against Intervention - the fourth venture of the author Quah, Chee Heong, dwells upon contemporary social and economic issues. His previous books Optimal Currency Areas in East Asia, Eccentric Views on Money and Banking, and Austrian Economics in One Lesson lay stress on money, banking, and economics. This title concentrates on societal issues that currently define and affect our day-to-day lives which would certainly complement the curricula at colleges and universities. The objective of this work is to break the status quo and defy the fallacious reasoning in mainstream thinking, as Ronald Reagan once said, "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.

The current trade war between the US and China looks like a small piece in a much larger puzzle over world leadership in which China plays the part of the ascending challenger seeking to upset the existing balance of power. Technology and innovation seem to be Beijing's weapons of choice in its frontal assault on Washington in sectors traditionally led by the US. China is not only acquiring technology. Its ambitions include the regulation of international trade and global governance. Just what a China-led global order would look like is still unclear, but the inherent dangers of technology need to be meticulously assessed, as they have the potential to alter the core values of modern societies. To what extent will technology facilitate China's rise?
