Sommario/riassunto

Every major industry except construction uses logistics to improve its bottom line...  Poor logistics is costing the construction industry at least £3 billion a year according to a report - 'Improving Construction Logistics' - published by the Strategic Forum for Construction.  Additional costs arise as a result of operatives waiting for materials, and skilled craftsmen being used for unskilled jobs.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the timely topic of energy security and international relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation. Pursuing a constructivist-discursive approach, it empirically analyses a

Exploring various discursive meanings assigned to the material and technical character of EU-Russian energy relations, the monograph underscores how the identities and interests of both parties are strongly affected by the norms and values which frame the individual energy discourses.
