| Research on the barriers and limits to climate change adaptation identifies many factors, but describes few processes whereby adaptation is constrained or may indeed fail to avoid catastrophic losses. It often assumes that barriers are by and large distinct from limits to adaptation. We respond to recent calls for comparative studies that are able to further knowledge about the underlying drivers of barriers and limits to adaptation. We compare six cases from across Australia, including those in alpine areas, rivers, reefs, wetlands, small inland communities, and islands, with the aim of identifying common underlying drivers of barriers and limits to adaptation. We find that the path-dependent nature of the institutions that govern natural resources and... |

| In recent years a growing body of literature has begun to consider the possible presence of path dependence in the development processes of countries. This phenomenon has always been recognized in regional and urban studies because the path of development almost naturally follows a history-dependent spatial diffusion influenced by both physical geography and the quality of institutions. In this paper, I consider the case of firm concentration in Italy and its impact on local development. A large and growing literature has argued in favour of persisting effects of past institutions on current outcomes. Hence, in order to identify the impact of firm density on income, I use instruments from the history of a set of Italian cities: namely the presence of a... |

| Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a relação de path dependence no sistema econômico e institucional do álcool combustível no Brasil. O etanol, após fases de crescimento e desafios, tornou-se parte da matriz energética brasileira. Esta trajetória reflete a persistência de uma rota (caminho) traçada sob influência de organizações (usinas e destilarias, setor de máquinas e equipamentos, indústria automobilística, Estado, organizações corporativistas, P&D) e de agentes econômicos (consumidores) voltados, direta ou indiretamente, para a manutenção dessa rota escolhida. Este arranjo de "interesses" deu sustentação ao etanol brasileiro, mesmo em momentos em que a competitividade deste combustível era questionada como opção energética mais adequada para... |
