ABSTRACT

This chapter steps outside of the case studies and looks at the important lessons learned. The goal of this chapter is to identify and explore the key characteristics that have emerged from the case studies as factors that have enabled some people and places to flourish and others not. In this chapter, the authors pull together the empirical data from the case studies to map out what structures, concepts, people and tools have proven key to engaging Settlers, such that people and places have more widely flourished economically and socially. Key discoveries are the extent to which they are locally specific or can be applied more broadly along with comments on what we might learn in order to construct a more inclusive political economy.
