区域经济空间集中化的产业成因分析——兼析海南省经济空间集中化问题

经济空间集中化起因于产业经济活动在一定空间内聚集并形成大规模的专业化生产，它以区域城市为增长中心，与区域产业结构转变有着密切的关系。经济空间集中化过程大致可以划分为三个与区域产业结构转变有关的经济增长阶段：初级阶段——均衡低速增长；中级阶段——集中快速增长；高级阶段——稳定增长。     

The Mobile Street Food Service Practice in the Urban Economy of Kumba, Cameroon

The mobile food service practice is one of multiple survival strategies adopted by poor urban households in Cameroon to maintain and expand the base of subsistence incomes, especially in the current surge of economic crisis. Though a fast-growing informal sector enterprise, it is still at an artisanal stage in urban Cameroon, creating an urgent need for a supportive policy environment that could have measurable positive impacts on improving the productivity, welfare and income levels of the micro-entrepreneurs. This study looks at the mobile food service practice in Kumba, Cameroon, in terms of its basic characteristics, the locational factors influencing its socio-spatial distribution, the critical success factors (CSFs) determining customer choices, and its impacts on the local environmental resources and quality of urban life. The mobile food service practice creates employment, generates income, and acts as a food energy-support instrument to the urban poor and local economic activities operating in Kumba. The vendors, who are mostly women, can make incomes that are 405 per cent of the national minimum wage and, thus, contribute financially towards the education, health and survival of their families. The paper provides some recommendations on ways to improve the efficiency of this sector so as to achieve sustainable economic and social development and to enhance empowerment thereof.     

Employment and Socio-spatial Relations in Australia's Cultural Economy

This paper examines the significance and contribution of Australian 'creative' industry activities in light of recent debates on the emergence of the 'cultural economy of cities'. First, census employment data and business location counts are used to illustrate patterns of metropolitan primacy and concentration in the cultural industries both across states and in Sydney. Second, the specificities of the locations of cultural production, and the links between cultural industry activities and wider urban-regional change are explored in more detail. A set of observations of urban-regional change is used to demonstrate how the notion of 'cultural economy' should include complex interactions between the material activities of consumers and producers, and the discursive worlds of image makers and place marketers. Urban renewal, housing market pressures and intra-regional migration all mediate Australian experiences of the 'cultural economy'. Such interactions, in addition to key quantitative data on employment and business activity, suggest important policy considerations.     

Archipelagos and networks: urbanization and water privatization in the South

This paper examines the interrelationship between urbanization and water supply privatization in cities in the global South. The purpose of the paper is not to evaluate the impacts of privatization; rather, the paper analyses the differences in pathways and modes of water supply privatization, focusing on urban and contrasting with rural areas. A distinction is drawn between privatization (organizational change) and commercialization (institutional change) of water supply. Emphasis is placed upon the interrelationship between regulatory change (a shift from public to private management of water supply systems), human use of and access to water, and urban waterscapes. In contrast to metaphors of 'networks' so often applied in analyses of water management, the 'archipelago' is posited as a metaphor which better captures the complex overlapping strategies of water supply provision in urban areas in the South. Building on this metaphor, and in response to the 'public–private' dualism often invoked in studies of privatization, the paper outlines an alternative typology of water management in urban areas in the South. This typology foregrounds the concepts of the territorialization of corporate power as a means of understanding the articulation between privatization and urbanization processes in the South.

区域经济整合发展研究--以上海市南汇区为例

文章从区域经济一体化和经济全球化的角度出发，分析了区域经济整合发展的动力来源、基本过程及遵循的原则，并以实例阐述了区域经济整合的主要内容为：城镇体系、产业结构、市政和基础设施及区域经济运行环境等，归纳出了5种典型的整合类型，即领土主权变动、国家重大政策推动、行政归属调整、重大工程启动及城市扩展整合等，最后通过上海市南汇区的实例进行了相应的论证。     

基于生态足迹模型的山区生态经济协调发展定量评估--以贵州镇远县为例

采用国际上逐渐引起重视的衡量可持续发展的生物物理方法——生态足迹(Ecological Footprint),在简要介绍该理论方法的基础上,针对当前我国西部山地型生态经济类型区发展现状和面临的生态问题,以我国西南山区镇远县为例,采用该地区生态经济发展的截面资料,对其生态经济协调发展的状态进行了定量评估,并对其发展趋势做了保守估计。结果表明:目前地区的生态足迹需求小于生态供给能力,生态盈余为0.0677hm~2;生态空间供需结构存在明显的不对称性;自然资源利用率低于整个西部和东部沿海省份。以目前的趋势来看,生态盈余状态最多能维持5～15a。     

试论经济全球化对非洲华人经济的影响

经济全球化使越来越多的国家和地区，甚至是一个经济体和一个经济单位都主动或被动地参与到世界经济中来，非洲的华人经济也不例外。鉴于目前有关华人经济的文章主要集中在东南亚地区和美国与欧洲，很少有人探讨过非洲华人经济的情况，所以本文试图通过经济全球化条件下的非洲经济、中非经济关系和华商对非洲的投资，来论述经济全球化对非洲华人经济的影响。
