摘要:

ABSTRACTThe way in which employment is managed is a crucial dimension in the operation and restructuring of industry, but has been sorely neglected in studies of labour and industry. In concert with processes of economic restructuring, and in broadly similar manner to other Western economies, labour‐management (industrial) relations in Australia are undergoing extensive change. This article reviews key themes in industrial geography, industrial relations and human resource management, identifying and developing connections between these diverse schools of thought. Within this conceptual framework, a case study of the Australian coal industry is used to illustrate aspects of restructuring and the benefits of enhanced ‘dialogue’ between these disciplinary r

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article examines the implications of the convergence of information technology (IT) and telecommunications into ‘telematics’ for local economies. Despite the crucial importance of such technologies for local economic development, there is increasing evidence that engagement with such technologies is uneven, both between areas and within areas. Peripheral and underdeveloped areas may lose out to the core areas and certain communities and types of firm may be disadvantaged. Several local economic development agencies and authorities have identified telematics development as a key area for strategic intervention. This article investigates the issues involved in such strategies and provides details from a Manchester‐based project ‐the Manchester Host computer

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe objective is to establish the nature and intensity of the economic and social gradients across the former inner‐German frontier at the time of frontier opening in 1989. This focus on the borderlands on either side of the frontier is justified theoretically and empirically. Location theorists have categorised border regions as disadvantaged, and this proposition is tested. Empirically, the spatial juxtaposition of the former frontier districts serves to accentuate the degree of convergence which has to be achieved between the former economic and political systems. Using data primarily at a planning region level, the analysis demonstrates not only the presence of significant divergences across the inner‐German frontier, but also the existence of many shared and fundamental geographical characteristics. The former are creating enormous pressures in the short term, but the latter will have an important bearing on the longer‐term adjustment of these former borderlands to their new role in a unified Germany. The article concludes by cautioning against the adoption of over‐simplified responses to the frontier‐open

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn the early 1960s, the United States dominated aid‐giving to Latin America; the US, the European states and Japan all disbursed aid to the Asian nations; and the European states provided most of the aid to Africa. Since then, three major changes have occurred in the Western aid regime. First, the international coordination of the Western aid programs has increased. Second, the US role as the dominant aid donor has come to an end. Instead, it is the countries of the European Community and Japan that dominate Western aid‐giving today. Third, a framework for coordination of the aid programs within the EC has emerged. Although these changes fundamentally have altered the geographic distribution of aid from the 1960s, they do not conclusively point to a development toward a tripolar panregional division among the Western don

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article examines the local socio‐economic impact of the arrival of Mozambican refugees in the Eastern Province of Zambia. Previous studies of forced migration elsewhere in Africa have suggested that not only stresses, but also positive gains for local development may be felt in areas hosting significant numbers of refugees. It is suggested here that an appropriate framework from which to analyze the impact of refugees is to focus separately on the effects of population increase on the one hand, and the specific characteristics of refugees on the other. Using this distinction, a model is developed of potential beneficial changes resulting from the arrival of refugees. Key assumptions of this model are then identified to be of relevance to policies designed to promote local economic development under conditions of refugee migratio
