Self‐help in housing and chengzhongcun in China's urbanization

This article focuses on the housing issues of rural migrants arising from urbanization, with particular reference to chengzhongcun, a topic with considerable impact on policymaking. An attempt is made to understand the underlying rationale of self‐help in housing and the important role of chengzhongcun in sheltering rural migrants in the context of China's rural‐urban dichotomy. As demonstrated in this study, chengzhongcun accommodate, with little in the way of government resources and assistance, millions of rural migrants because of their social accessibility and affordability. While not denying their social problems, we argue that chengzhongcun in fact act as an innovative and positive agent to promote urbanization in present day China by housing massive numbers of rural migrants and assimilating them into cities. Current government policies towards chengzhongcun have generated a wide range of interest conflicts and confrontations. The consequences of such conflicts show that the government policies were problematic and unworkable, as they violated basic market principles as well as citizen rights. Policy strategy towards the redevelopment of chengzhongcun must acknowledge their credibility in the Chinese road to urbanization and requires more thoughtful and prudent consideration of migrants' demands for affordable housing.     

Regional economic performance in China1

This paper investigates convergence patterns among China's provinces using GDP data for the period 1952–97. We analyze convergence behaviour on the basis of Markov chains proposed by Quah (1993 ) and the generalized entropy decomposition proposed by Shorrocks (1980, 1984 ). Both sets of results show similar evidence of convergence within the pre‐defined geo‐economic sub‐regions, but no evidence is found of convergence between the sub‐regions. This finding has important policy implications for regional economic development in China. JEL classification: C33, E20, O47.     

再论“三位一体”的农村改革观——农村管理模式的逻辑演进

历史上每一次土地制度、赋税制度和行政管理体制的较大规模变革,都是同步配套进行的,有其相互关联性和一般规律性.新中国成立后,在城乡对立的二元经济社会结构中,农村集体土地制度、农民收入分配制度和农村行政管理体制自成一体,封闭运行,城乡差别日益扩大,同时附带了明显的"外部性"问题.改革开放以来,国家新的农村政策导向和农村新经济因素的产生,正在促使中国经济社会结构由农村农业、城市工业的二元结构向城市、小城镇、乡村多种产业组合和多样化的生活方式并存的三元结构转换,终将形成城乡一体化发展的新格局.农村集体土地制度、国民收入分配制度和国家行政管理体制,必须要按照社会主义市场经济发展的基本规律和城乡经济社会协调发展的新要求,进行一次最彻底的整体性配套改革.     

Possibilities for remote participation in trade unions: mobilising women activists

This paper argues that trade union activism within the new era of information and communication technologies (ICTs) offers the potential for unions to become more inclusive of under‐represented groups. Traditional conceptions of activism, participation and democracy within trade unions require physical presence at meetings at times and in spaces incompatible with caring responsibilities and atypical hours of work. This restricts the participation of women and other ‘atypical’ workers in trade unions. The paper explores the complexities of electronic forms of union activism in practice, indicating that while some positive features are experienced, there are also a range of obstacles, barriers and possible negative consequences.

Network Resources for Internationalization: The Case of Taiwan's Electronics Firms*

ABSTRACT This paper illustrates foreign direct investment (FDI) as the management of important network relations, using Taiwan's electronics firms as an example. Through FDI, seemingly small and weak firms propel the process of internationalization by making maximum use of external resources to which they have access. FDI often starts at a location close to the home base where support from the domestic networks can be drawn, subsequently moving on to more distant locations after investors have accumulated new network resources. The location chosen is usually an area rich in network resources or in close proximity to such rich networks. FDI enables the investors to construct a regional, or even global, sub‐network under their control to supply a set of wide‐ranging, differentiated and low‐cost products in a flexible fashion, and sometimes within close proximity to the markets. With this capacity for versatility, investors become valuable partners for multinational firms that offer global services.     

从消费者行为差异看生活形态营销

随着人们生活水平的提高,消费者具备了满足个性消费的经济基础.人们不是仅仅要满足自己的基本需要,而是要在满足基本需要的同时来展现自己的个性、品味和身份,力求产品风格与自己的生活风格相一致,或者体现自己的生活风格.企业为了在激烈的市场竞争中准确找到自己的目标消费者,准确把握市场动向,制定正确的营销策略就必须对目标消费者的生活风格和价值观念等深层心理变量有一个透彻的了解.了解消费者的生活形态,认真研究其消费行为选择是企业在竞争中夺取市场先机的法宝.
