Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the emergence of different forms of capitalism in Central-Eastern states in Europe and Mekong states within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). All of them (but Thailand) have historically disappeared from the regional maps for long periods of time due to colonial or imperial rule. Most of them were previously members of a soviet-type economy, and they all joined ASEAN or the European Union in the 1990s or in the 2000s. These states are characterized by a strong urge toward feelings of national sovereignty due to their experiences with colonialism and imperialism. But, due to the regional economic pressures and the globalization dynamic, these states cannot articulate protectionist policies. They are forced to open their economies in order to attract Foreign Direct Investments. This results in less regulated and more political forms of capitalism than in some more developed capitalist countries. This book analyzes forms of capitalism as the arising from a combination of three conditions: the legacy of the foreign occupations, the national construction process of the sovereign state, and lastly, the dynamics of regional integration. These states' claims to national sovereignty and the manner in which they developed suggests a causative link between the forms of political domination that have presided over these transformations and the forms of capitalism that have resulted.

This volume focuses on European geographers, including essays on individuals from Britain, France and Hungary.

A l'échelle de la région, la fragmentation politique s'est accompagnée d'une intégration à l'Union européenne par les normes et par les échanges. A l'est du continent, une nouvelle cartographie des réseaux, des fenêtres maritimes, des discontinuités socio-économiques influe également sur la recomposition de cet "entre-deux" qui s'étire de la Baltique à l'Adriatique. Les stratégies des investisseurs européens, américains et asiatiques ont dessiné de nouveaux bassins de production. A ce jeu, certains territoires sont valorisés, d'autres marginalisés.Comment dès lors contenir les disparités spatiales, réformer la gouvernance des métropoles, soutenir l'émergence d'une économie de la connaissance pour que lEurope centrale conjure enfin cette position périphérique quelle doit au moins autant à l'histoire qu'à la géographie ? Des stratégies novatrices d'aménagement et de développement des territoires sont à réinventer. Ici, l'Union européenne n'apporte pas que son marché, elle met à disposition des pratiques éprouvées, des partenariats, des financements.En s'inscrivant dans les paradigmes contemporains de la géographie économique, en comparant les stratégies de développement déployées par les Etats d'Europe centrale à d'autres, irlandaises ou asiatiques, ce livre fournit aux étudiants, aux décideurs et aux entrepreneurs une grille de lecture précieuse pour la compréhension de la nouvelle géographie du continent européen.

Download or read book International and Transnational Perspectives on Urban Systems written by Celine Rozenblat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the recent evolutions of cities in the world according to entirely revised theoretical fundamentals of urban systems. It relies on a vision of cities sharing common dynamic features as co-evolving entities in complex systems. Systems of cities that are interdependent in their evolutions are characterized in the context of that dynamics. They are identified on various geographical scales—worldwide, regional, or national. Each system exhibits peculiarities that are related to its demographic, economic, and geopolitical history, and that are underlined by the systematic comparison of continental and regional urban systems, following a common template throughout the book. Multi-scale urban processes, whether local (one city), or within national systems (systems of cities), or linked to the expansion of transnational networks (towards global urban systems) throughout the world over the period 1950–2010 are deeply analyzed in 16 chapters. This global overview challenges urban governance for designing policies facing globalization and the subsequent ecological transition. The answers, which emerge from the diversity of situations in the world, add some reflections on and recommendations to the “urban system framework” proposed in the Habitat III agenda.
