Innovation scholarship has traditionally leaned towards the analysis of innovation processes linked to conditions found in 'core' areas; well-functioning economic hubs and dynamic high-technology sectors. Although more recent work on innovation in emerging economies has begun to broaden the picture, innovation in the 'peripheral' regions and sectors of developed economies is still largely unexplored. This book is a unique exploration of how innovation processes operate in peripheral regions, while also looking at the key drivers and challenges organizations face in peripheral areas as they strive to innovate and compete globally.Adopting interdisciplinary approaches from management studies, economics and geography, this book blends theory-building and quantitative approaches to investigate the periphery and innovation nexus, with a focus on bibliometric approach, topic modelling, and patent-based analysis. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of innovation, strategic management, regional development and sustainability.Alba Marino is Assistant Professor in Management and Innovation at the University of Messina, Italy.

Praise for THE LITTLE BOOK OF BITCOIN "The Little Book of Bitcoin explains how this groundbreaking technology fixes our broken money and fosters freedom from financial repression, freedom from transactional censorship, and freedom from seizure. Reckless money printing has broken the backs of American households and funded endless wars. Bitcoin provides an offramp from this insanity." --ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., American Politician and Environmental Lawyer "The Little Book of Bitcoin provides a compelling exploration of Anthony's intellectual journey from bitcoin skeptic to prominent bitcoin investor. The book makes a strong case for incorporating bitcoin ETFs into a diversified portfolio." --PETE BRIGER, JR., Chairman, Fortress Investment Group "The Little Book of Bitcoin argues persuasively that bitcoin is inevitable and unstoppable because of spiraling government debt across the globe. Anthony does a terrific job explaining why bitcoin will become a mainstream investment asset that will be broadly owned by individuals, institutions, corporations and governments." --BRETT S. MESSING, President and Co-Chief Investment Officer, SkyBridge Capital

In this book, Natalia Forrat describes two models of authoritarianism: the first in which people see the state as their team leader and the other where they trust informal (non-state) leaders and see the state as a source of perks or punishment. Forrat compares the structures of political machines in four Russian regions, finding that the two maintaining unity-based authoritarianism demonstrated a stable performance across multiple elections, while the other two delivered less stable results. Carefully crafted and sophisticated, Forrat's theory of authoritarian power sheds new light on state-society relations in Russia and helps explain the divergent patterns of regime maintenance strategies in authoritarian countries throughout the world.
