Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions density, distance, and division are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. 'World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography' concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow. proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations. revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.

Book excerpt: "This bibliography is a companion piece to the microfilm project of same title (on 28 reels) which contains the full text of the titles listed in the bibliography. The translations were performed by linguists under contract with the United States Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS), a federal agency established in 1957 to service the translation needs of various government research units. Materials to be translated are selected by Government scientists and researchers under contract. The majority of JPRS translations are in the social sciences. The focus is on economic, political and social developments in the communist world and in other foreign areas. Upon the initiative of the Social Science Research Council a group of sixty subscribing universities began to receive the JPRS translations on China in July-August 1960. The translations issued before this date were, however, not included in this or in any other subscription-distribution program. Since that material is of equal importance for studies on China, the present microfilm project of the JPRS reports included in this bibliography intends to fill this gap in the China field in providing these translations for the researcher."--Foreword
