In this article, we review recent developments in the extensive literature on territorially embedded production systems in the developed world, with a particular eye towards changes that have (or have not) occurred over the last decade. Improvements in transportation and communication technologies and the advent of global production networks have put newly into play the degree to which industrial communities must be located in specific and discretely bounded territories. What had been a relative

Abstract This paper examines child labour in artisanal mining through ethnographic research in Tanzania. The poverty hypothesis argues that households send children to work to bolster household income. The sociocultural approach suggests that child mining offers valuable vocational training. This paper builds on a growing literature that complicates these approaches' straightforward claims by illustrating how household fragmentation is generated through the encounter of traditional cultural prac

Large-scale residential developments on expropriated lands in periurban Hanoi resemble forms of gentrification seen elsewhere. But is it gentrification? Current debate over the definition of gentrification has focused on whether the term has become too broad to be useful in different institutional and spatio-temporal contexts. While some push for a generalisable definition based in capitalist development, others argue that the term harbours Western assumptions that fail to usefully explain uniqu

Potter C. River of traffic: the spatial fragmentation of US ports, Regional Studies. Containerization has spatially fragmented the physical functions of US ports by reducing the friction of moving freight through ports to inland destinations. Previous studies of this shift have focused on case studies or selected municipalities. Employing descriptive statistics, regression analysis and geographical information system (GIS) mapping to explore shifts in longshoring, warehousing and trucking employ

Purpose: Practitioners are often tempted to accelerate the policy transfer process by taking shortcuts on the basis of reductive comparisons between donor and recipient. This, however, often hinders the effectiveness of policy transfer. To improve the policy transfer process and thereby the policies implemented, this paper introduces an actor-network theoretical approach to understanding policy transfer. By employing Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) as a case, the paper also seeks to incr

Development is austerity in reverse. And austerity is development in reverse, a form of de-development. This paper argues that austerity is a neoliberal technology for returning countries to positive economic growth that reduces social spending and thereby reverses development. Drawing on Sen and Nussbaum's human capabilities approach, an exploration of Korea's development since 1960 supports this and three additional claims. First, the expansion of capabilities in Korea is tied to democratizati

As part of its Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP), South Korea has prepared a series of documents that strive to consolidate Korea’s development experience into a “Korean model”. These government-sanctioned reports seek to concisely delineate the essential components of the country’s unique experience and “modularize” them for easy transfer to developing nations. Though recognizing this effort’s positive contribution, this chapter argues that Korea’s KSP would be better served by producing a multit

This study is intended to help Korean universities more successfully attract and retain international students by exploring the gap between cognitive, affective, and external expectations and experiences. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with Korean studies students across a range of ethnicities and nationalities in 2021. The paper finds that the gap can be reduced in two ways. First, universities can manage the unrealistic expectations about life in Korea created through media portraya

The deindustrialization of East Asia's leading cities, including Seoul, has been gaining pace as urban economies transition to a focus on advanced services. This process is far advanced in the United States and it is only belatedly that planners have recognized the important role that urban manufacturing still plays for workers, advanced economic sectors, and economic resilience through agglomeration economies. To avoid this mistake in newly deindustrializing cities, this study identifies indust
