Economic Aspects of the Sustainability Transition in Europe
This book comprehensively examines the financial and economic aspects of the ‘sustainability transitions’ demanded by the primary components of the European Green Deal. It asks how the EU has been dealing with the allocation of resources to foster the sustainability transition, how the additional transformations required by the ‘climate emergency’ will be financed, and which actors (businesses, governments, citizens) will pay and how.Looking at how the EU has been managing this over time, through changes in the Environment Action Programmes, Structural Funds, the Multiannual Financial Framework, the book examines policy priorities and analyses the different instruments proposed as part of this evolving environment, including market support instruments for renewable energies and the creation of new instruments, such as Climate Awareness Bonds.It also highlights new developments, such as the debate on the role of environmental taxes, or the uneven development across member states of green financial instruments.The book presents an evolving puzzle into the limited possibilities of the EU to deploy resources that contribute to the overarching goal of achieving a low carbon economy and illustrates the need for acceptance towards changes and compromises that are required from all affected stakeholders. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of sustainable development, climate governance, and EU politics, and more broadly to European Studies, economics, politics, international relations or public policy.

Greece from Junta to Crisis : Modernization, Transition and Diversity
Winner of the 2021 European Society of Modern Greek Studies Book PrizeShortlisted for the 2022 Runciman AwardThe recent economic crisis in Greece has triggered national self-reflection and prompted a re-examination of the political and cultural developments in the country since 1974.While many other books have investigated the politics and economics of this transition, this study turns its attention to the cultural aspects of post-dictatorship Greece.By problematizing the notion of modernization, it analyzes socio-cultural trends in the years between the fall of the junta and the economic crisis, highlighting the growing diversity and cultural ambivalence of Greek society.With its focus on issues such as identity, antiquity, religion, language, literature, media, cinema, youth, gender and sexuality, this study is one of the first to examine cultural trends in Greece over the last fifty years.Aiming for a more nuanced understanding of recent history, the study offers a fresh perspective on current problems.

Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

Everyday Life-Environmentalism : Community Sustainability and Resilience in Asia
This book provides one of the first systematic introductions to the Japanese concept of life-environmentalism, Seikatsu-Kankyo Shugi.This concept emerged in the 1980s as a shared research framework among Japanese social scientists studying the adverse consequences of postwar industrialization on everyday life in communities. Life-environmentalism offers a lens through which the agency of small communities in sustaining their everyday life and living environment can be understood.The book provides an overview of this approach, including intellectual backgrounds and foundational concepts, along with a variety of empirical case studies that examine environmental and sustainability issues in Japan and other parts of Asia.It also includes critical reflections on the approach in light of contemporary sustainability challenges.The empirical topics covered in the book include local community responses to development projects, resource governance, disaster response and recovery, and historical environmental preservation.The chapters are contributed by researchers working at the forefront of the field.It provides only a glimpse into the vast literature that awaits further exploration and engagement in the future. The book is suitable for upper undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers interested in environmental problems, sustainability and resilience, disaster mitigation and response, and regional development in Asian contexts, particularly Japan.It is well-suited for courses in anthropology, geography, sociology, urban and regional planning, political science, Asian studies, and environmental studies.

What is a transition?
A transition is a change or shift from one state, condition, or situation to another. It can refer to a physical movement, a change in emotions or thoughts, or a shift in relationships or circumstances. Transitions can be planned or unexpected, and they often involve a period of adjustment or adaptation to the new situation.
-
Is the transition good?
The goodness of a transition depends on various factors such as its impact on individuals, communities, and the environment. A transition can be considered good if it leads to positive outcomes such as improved quality of life, increased sustainability, and reduced inequality. However, if a transition results in negative consequences such as displacement, environmental degradation, or social unrest, it may not be considered good. Therefore, the goodness of a transition is subjective and depends on its overall impact on different aspects of society.

What is transition 4?
Transition 4 refers to the fourth stage of labor, which occurs after the cervix has dilated to 8-10 centimeters. During transition, contractions become more intense and frequent, and the mother may experience strong pressure and the urge to push. This stage can be challenging and exhausting for the mother, but it is a sign that the baby will soon be born. It is important for the mother to receive support and encouragement during this phase of labor.

What is the difference between standard enthalpy of transition and phase transition enthalpy?
The standard enthalpy of transition refers to the enthalpy change when a substance undergoes a transition from one phase to another at a standard pressure and temperature. This can include transitions such as melting, boiling, or sublimation. On the other hand, phase transition enthalpy refers to the enthalpy change specifically during a phase transition, regardless of the pressure and temperature conditions. In other words, phase transition enthalpy is a more general term that encompasses all enthalpy changes during phase transitions, while standard enthalpy of transition specifically refers to these changes at standard conditions.
