The U.S. craft brewing industry is transitioning to a mature, saturated market, characterised by declining growth, accelerated closures, and economic pressures. This study revisits Nilsson et al. (2019, To cluster or not to cluster? Spatial determinants of closures in the American craft brewing industry. Papers in Regional Science) by (re)examining brewery closures in during the volatile 2018–2023 period, to see if the aspatial nature of closures…
Compliance and craft
In 2015, the West African archipelago country of Cabo Verde enacted rules governing the production of grogue, a place-based sugarcane spirit primarily produced on the islands of Santiago and Santo Antão. This “grogue law” not only (re)defined the alcohol but established how grogue should be made and marketed according to food safety, environmental, and public health standards. These regulations include 11 labeling parameters required on the liquo…

Contested values of grogue in Cabo Verde
This article explores grogue, a sugarcane-based distilled spirit of Cabo Verde, and its multifaceted and contested valuations in culture, livelihoods, and well-being. Despite Cabo Verde's challenging climate, sugarcane agriculture remains significant primarily due to the importance placed on the local production of grogue. The study described in this article investigates how grogue is perceived and valued among Cabo Verdeans, questioning why it p…
Geographies of Beer, Wine, and Spirits
Alcohol has been an integral part of many societies over millennia. Regardless of the type, strength, inception, or ingredients, alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and spirits have played important cultural and symbolic roles in observing traditions and rituals, constructing behavioral norms and values, prescribing medical remedies, and upholding social systems and cultural constructs. In addition to their functional symbolic values, wine, beer…

Negotiating Intersubjectivity as Methodology
How is ethnographic knowledge fashioned and impressions managed during power-laden, discursive interview events? This chapter examines ethnographic encounters with foreign investors, development workers, and government officials in Guinea-Bissau as a way to explore intersubjectivity as a site of meaning making. These encounters take place in negotiated spaces where the dynamics of the encounter are fluid and contextually sensitive. Through an ana…
The impact of foreign-owned enterprises in low-income economies
An economic impact snapshot of foreign and domestic enterprises from the functional economic areas of Guinea-Bissau showed that not all micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are local, and not all outside investment is large scale. We find that South–South entrepreneurship has prospects to improve livelihoods as drivers of economic growth and development in a low-income economy. While political instability and a lack of resources remain as barriers …
Drivers and deterrents of entrepreneurial enterprise in the risk-prone Global South
Through the case of Guinea-Bissau, this article considers how small-scale, often cross-border entrepreneurs mitigate risk and establish resilient businesses able to cope with ongoing political and economic shocks. Nineteen interviews and 153 surveys were conducted over two months with business leaders and regulators within the commercial centers and markets of Guinea-Bissau to assess entrepreneurial profiles and activities. Findings show that sma…

Applications and Trends of Remote Sensing in Professional Urban Planning
Remote sensing and remotely sensed data provide a spatial understanding of the complex physical characteristics, land uses, growth patterns, resource distributions, environmental pressures, technological changes, and socioeconomic needs of built environments. Despite the potential for remote sensing use in urban planning, a disconnect seems evident between academic research on remote sensing applications in an urban planning context and the actua…
