Download or read book Globalizing Regional Development in East Asia written by Henry Wai-chung Yeung and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant historical and geographical differences account for the many processes and trajectories of regional development in East Asia. These historical and geographical specificities in East Asia have prompted serious re-examination of existing theories in regional development, and in particular the "new regionalism" approach associated with such ideas as the learning region, institutional thickness, relational assets, and regional innovation system. This book brings together a group of leading researchers specializing in local and regional development in East Asian economies. Through in-depth empirical studies of specific regions and localities, these authors offer fresh and innovative perspectives on how regions evolve and develop over time in the world’s most dynamic macro-regional economy. In particular, their work points to the critical importance of local and trans-local processes in shaping regional development trajectories. The book is timely given that the debate on the nature and dynamics of regional development in both academic and policy circles has now moved on. From the earlier focus on endogenous regional assets (such as localized networks of association and trust), scholars and policymakers are now analyzing the complex relationship between economic globalization and regional change. This high calibre collection makes a significant contribution to the literature on local and regional development in Asia and provides an important resource for researchers, students, and policy makers interested in East Asia. This book was published as a special issue of Regional Studies.

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and the Regional Economy written by Jonathan Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'boom' in foreign direct investment (FDI) since the mid-1980s, continues to be paramount in policy interest. This book reviews the literature on the nature of FDI and reports the recent results on the performance of FDI plants in order to show the implications for regional economic development. It presents new evidence on the nature and performance of these plants, using a unique dataset that has been constructed and rigorously analyzed by applying econometric techniques. The role of FDI in economic development has long been poorly understood and this book contributes to improving understanding, and is of direct policy relevance. An examination is made of the generation, theory and location of FDI, as well as its implications for regional and national development. In addition to this, analysis is made of the issues at the project and plant levels, related to investment, employment and firm survival.

Download or read book Three Essays on Regional Development and Urban Growth in China microform written by Ying Ge and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation provides empirical evidence on regional development and urban growth in China. In the first chapter, we examine how Chinese cities of different sizes grow relative to each other and find that reform period since 1980 delivered significant structural change in Chinese urban system. The city size distribution remains stable before the reform but shows convergent pattern of growth in post-reform period. Secondly, we use Pearson goodness-of-fit test to examine which distribution is the best approximation of city size distribution. A parallel study of city size distribution in China and U.S. reveals substantial differences: a lognormal distribution in case of China and a Pareto distribution in case of U.S. The second chapter examines the patterns and determinants of city growth in China. We find that the city income distribution converges during the period 1990 to 1999. The geographic distribution of the Chinese urban system is uneven, and the welfare of coastal cities is significantly higher than that of inland cities. An analysis of the determinants of city growth shows that economic reform and openness of cities play important roles in accelerating urban growth. The results also lead support to the significant impact of other factors on urban growth, such as geography, industrial structure and human capital accumulation. The third chapter provides empirical evidence on the linkage between regional inequality, industrial agglomeration and foreign trade. The results indicate that the increasing regional inequality in the 1990s was accompanied by the increasing regional specialization and manufacturing industry agglomeration. Access to foreign trade and foreign investment is one of important driving forces of unbalanced geographic distribution of production in China. Industries dependent on foreign trade and foreign direct investment are more likely to locate in the regions with easy access to foreign market, and exporting industries have a higher degree of agglomeration.

Book excerpt: This book offers a critical reflection on the meaning and expected impact of the fourth industrial revolution, and its implications for industrial policy. Industrial revolutions are considered not only in terms of technological progress, but also in the context of the changing relationship between market and production dynamics, and the social and political conditions enabling the development of new technologies. Industrial Policy for the Manufacturing Revolution aims to increase our capacity to anticipate and adapt to the forthcoming structural changes. A concrete illustration of this industrial policy is provided through an experience of its implementation at regional level.

Download or read book Government Business Relations and Regional Development in Post Reform Mexico written by Theodore Kahn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the political economy of subnational development in Mexico. Like much of Latin America, Mexico underwent market reforms and democratization in the late 20th century. In addition to transforming national institutions, these changes led to sharp political and economic divergence among Mexican states. The author offers a novel explanation for these uneven results, showing how relations between local governments and organized business gave rise to distinct subnational institutions for managing the economy. The argument is developed through a paired comparison of two states in central Mexico, Puebla and Querétaro. This work will be of interest to students of Latin American and Mexican politics, regional development, and government-business relations.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union written by David Turnock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the achievement of further EU and NATO enlargement, a critical political and economic lens is now focused on East Central Europe and, to a lesser extent, the other former communist states. Economic growth in each transition state - and more broadly the region - pivots around the prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI), with decisions on where foreign investors will locate their projects now vitally important. This book - the first one devoted to a geographical survey concentrating specifically on FDI in the region - brings together a wide range of prominent authors from the US and Europe, including the late Frank Carter, to provide a timely and critical examination of the importance of foreign investment. It presents a detailed analysis of location patterns and their significance for regional development, with particular emphasis given to the important socioeconomic and political consequences of uneven distribution of FDI across the region and its constituent countries. Divided into two parts, the book first deals with general overarching themes and issues before applying these to more specific country case studies. The second part deals with regional studies, focusing broadly on the Western Balkans and Bulgaria, before looking at specific economic sectors in individual countries.
