At a time of extraordinary challenges confronting the world, this
book analyses some of the profound changes occurring in the
development of cities and regions. It discusses the uncertainties
associated with the stalling of hyper-globalization and asks
whether this creates opportunities for resurgent regional economies
driven by local capabilities, resource efficiencies and domestic
production. Theory and evidence on socio-economic and environmental
transitions underway in many regions are brought together.
Implications of the shifting balance of global power towards
emerging economies in the East are explored, along with the
consequences of urbanization in the global South for politics and
democracy. Dilemmas surrounding migration are also discussed,
including whether incomers displace local workers and depress
wages, or bring benefits in the form of know-how, new technology
and investment. More integrative concepts of the region and
theories of regional development are analysed, recognising the role
of human capital, knowledge, innovation, finance, infrastructure
and institutions. This was originally published as a special issue
of Regional Studies.
This book extends current research on the political economy of
modern China, with particular regard to agricultural development
and its role in economic transition. It uses Neoclassical
principles to re-interpret agricultural growth and technological
change under complex market institutions with empirical studies on
China and selected East Asian economies. The text also questions
how technological advances in China contribute to the Great
Divergence debate. Through a comparative analysis of agricultural
technical changes in the planting of rice paddies in Japan, Taiwan
and China, Du finds that different market institutions and
structures have given rise to considerable diversity of
agricultural change between different economies in terms of the
nature, timing and duration of technological transition. Such
diversification has, in turn, affected the trajectories of
agricultural and wider economic growth. Here, Du reflects on the
nature of contemporary Chinese economic development and extends
observations on agricultural transition to the entirety of Asia,
finding that the nature, timing, and time-span of agriculture
technology transitions have varied considerably across different
economies.
To provide ubiquitous and various services, 6G networks tend to be
more comprehensive and multidimensional by integrating current
terrestrial networks with space-/air-based information networks and
marine information networks; then, heterogeneous network resources,
as well as different types of users and data, will be also
integrated. Driven by the exponentially growing demands of
multimedia data traffic and computation-heavy applications, 6G
heterogenous networks are expected to achieve a high QoS with
ultra-reliability and low latency. In response, resource allocation
has been considered an important factor that can improve 6G
performance directly by configuring heterogeneous communication,
computing and caching resources effectively and efficiently. The
book addresses a range of technical issues in cooperative resource
allocation and information sharing for the future 6G heterogenous
networks, from the terrestrial ultra-dense networks and space-based
networks to the integrated satellite-terrestrial networks, as well
as introducing the effects of cooperative behavior among mobile
users on increasing capacity, trustworthiness and privacy. For the
cooperative transmission in heterogeneous networks, the authors
commence with the traffic offloading problems in terrestrial
ultra-dense networks, and the cognitive and cooperative mechanisms
in heterogeneous space-based networks, the stability analysis of
which is also provided. Moreover, for the cooperative transmission
in integrated satellite-terrestrial networks, the authors present a
pair of dynamic and adaptive resource allocation strategies for
traffic offloading, cooperative beamforming and traffic prediction
based cooperative transmission. Later, the authors discuss the
cooperative computation and caching resource allocation in
heterogeneous networks, with the highlight of providing our current
studies on the game theory, auction theory and deep reinforcement
learning based approaches. Meanwhile, the authors introduce the
cooperative resource and information sharing among users, in which
capacity oriented-, trustworthiness oriented-, and privacy oriented
cooperative mechanisms are investigated. Finally, the conclusion is
drawn.
