摘要:

ABSTRACTEast‐Central Europe (Hungary, Czecho‐Slovakia and Poland) has been undergoing an extraordinary transformation of its political and economic structures. The ultimate objective of the newly resurrected and still fragile democracies is re‐integration with global economy and Western Europe in all spheres of political, economic and social life. However, the success of this process depends not only on the policies implemented in ECE but also on the response and policies of the West and member countries of the European Community. Despite the officially declared support for the reform process, the EC and its organizations have been slow to develop a coherent strategy towards this region. The lack of a long‐term strategy is apparent not only in the political but also in the economic sphere. The emerging political cleavages within the EC are reflected in the ambiguous approach it has adopted towards ECE and Eastern Europe in general. This article aims to survey and evaluate the EC's policies and economic initiatives towards the three countries of ECE since 1989. In particular, attention is focused on the nature and likely impact of the Association Agreements with the EC, the role of newly created Community financial institutions and mechanisms, and direct foreign investment and assistance in the privatization programme. We conclude that the future political and economic stability of ECE and Western Europe depends, to a large degree, on the ability of the EC's political and economic institutions to respond to the long‐term challenge posed by changes in ECE and other regions of the former ‘East

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article develops adisaggregateandcomparativeapproach to discern the role of immigrants in urban economies. We disaggregate Asians into four dominant subgroups, and we disaggregate gross industrial employment categories into an industrial‐occupational matrix. Using a relative measure of employment, we compare industrial‐occupational niches for each Asian group in twosimilarurban contexts, Los Angeles and New York. Empirical findings indicate that neither the supply‐side nor demand‐driven perspectives on immigrants' role in urban economies sufficiently explains the complex patterns we identified. Our results suggest that the neoclassical vision of immigrants ‐ filling particular niches for which they “fit”, by virtue of qualifications or corporate need ‐ overlooks the possibility that immigrants may work tocreatetheir own niche orcompetitive advantagethrough managing or manipulating the system. This possibility must be explored through interviews. We suggest that interview procedures be preceded by the type of analysis conducted here, so that specific, targeted questions can be develope

摘要:

In the Netherlands the labour force participation of women has risen rapidly in the last fifteen years, resulting in large generation differences. Clear gender differences can also be found when the effects related to age, year of birth and time of occurrence are distinguished. Increasing mobility and increasing distance between work and home is found to be a general process for all cohorts of men, but not for women, among whom only the younger cohorts have reached a higher mobility pattern. Evidence is also found indicating that distance to work does not decrease with larger time budget problems resulting from more hours worked. Finally, it is shown that gender differences in the links between residences and place of work did not decrease during the eighties.

摘要:

ABSTRACTSeveral studies have examined the macro‐economic impact and social costs of Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) currently being implemented by many developing countries. Conspicuously lacking from the existing body of literature are reviews that explicitly ask and examine some pertinent geographical questions. The primary objective of this article is to assess the spatial implications of Ghana's economic recovery programmes that have been pursued since 1983 under the directions and dictates of the IMF and the World Bank. It argues that, in spite of the moderate successes recorded at the macro‐economic level, a significant flaw of structural adjustment programmes is the neglect of the spatial dimensions of economic developm
