Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are important vectors of neoliberal globalization in India. Despite facing widespread resistance against the proposed land acquisition for these zones, they are still being promoted across the country. We argue that the wealth redistribution to the country's elites and the fractured resistance movements enable neoliberalism and its practices to grow in the countryside. Using a private sector SEZ in Gurgaon as a case study, this article explores how special economic zoning, as a neoliberal policy, has been implicated in the spatialized production of poverty. We also show that the main actors who promote neoliberalism in India (the state and the large‐scale urban private sector) have found a seemingly unlikely ally in rural India in the form of farmers with large landholdings, rural elites who are willing to let go of their land under certain conditions. The data for the article was collected in India in 2009–10.  相似文献   

Population dynamics, socioeconomic change and land colonization in northern Jordan, with special reference to the Badia Research and Development Project area     

Andrew Millington  Salem al-Hussein  Roderic Dutton 《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》1999,19(4):1059

The paper reports on preliminary observations from northern Jordan aimed at testing the view that people migrate from areas of relatively high potential for cultivation to the marginal semi-arid/arid frontier because of social differentiation, political factors or environmental constraints. Cultivated areas have been mapped from multi-date remotely sensed imagery, a typology of fields in the area has been constructed, and their dynamics between 1972 and 1992 analysed. In addition, semi-structured interviews with farmers attempted to understand the reasoning behind village growth, changing farming systems and cultivation practices. The findings are discussed in the context of the area's demography and national and regional shifts in economic policy.  相似文献

退化土地的生态重建:社会工程途径   总被引：73，自引：5，他引：68  

蔡运龙  蒙吉军 《地理科学》1999,19(3):198-204

土地退化是全球环境变化的主要表现之一,而且与贫困问题互为因果。中国各地土地退化类型中,分布最广、影响最大的是土地沙漠化和土壤侵蚀,连片贫困人口也就分布于这些地区。在人口增长和自然资源需求增加的压力下,让退化土地自然恢复的思路已不切实际,必须通过社会投入对退化土地进行生态重建。重建要医治引起土地退化的经济和社会病根。还需要发达地区和欠发达地区的共同努力,因而是一种社会工程。其途径包括：从满足人民生存  相似文献   

番禺市农业结构的转变及其效果   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

匡耀求  谭建军  黄宁生 《热带地理》1999,19(2):147-153

单一化的经济不利于充分利用资源,而多元化的经济不利于高效利用资源。为了充分而高效利用资源,应该根据区域资源的实际状况确定合理的区域农业结构和专业化程度。１９８０年以来番禺市农业结构调整的效果表明,农业结构专业化程度降低的幅度越大,结构转变的效率越低,专业化程度降低的幅度越小,结构转变的效率就越高。区域农业发展的方向应该是在具有比较优势的行业专业化发展,在专业化基础上逐步实现规模化、基地化和农工贸一体化。  相似文献

1990—2018年中巴经济走廊冰湖时空变化特征     

姚超  王欣  赵轩茹  魏俊锋  张勇 《冰川冻土》2020,42(1):33-42

中巴经济走廊是贯通南北丝路的关键枢纽。在全球变暖的背景下, 区域内冰川变化情况复杂, 部分冰川出现前进或跃动现象, 冰湖溃决的风险在不断上升, 进而威胁中巴经济走廊的建设与民生安全。基于1990—2018年Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI遥感影像, 利用目视解译方法提取了中巴经济走廊3期冰湖编目数据, 并分析了28年来该区域内冰湖的总体变化趋势、 空间异质性以及成因。结果表明： 中巴经济走廊目前共发育有2 380个冰湖, 总面积为（131.76±19.08） km², 集中分布于喀喇昆仑山脉和喜马拉雅山脉; 1990—2018年期间, 冰湖总体面积扩张速度为0.48%·a^-1, 但各个山脉不同规模冰湖面积变化差异较大。中巴经济走廊在气温和降水的共同作用下, 区内冰湖面积呈扩张趋势, 同时气温和降水变化率的空间差异使得冰湖面积变化存在空间差异; 冰川的快速退缩增加了区内冰湖溃决的风险。  相似文献   

一种海绵城市社会效益计算方法:以天津大学北洋园校区为例     

李萌萌  郭祺忠  练继建  陈亮 《地学前缘》2020,27(3):281-289

海绵城市的社会效益是指海绵设施建成后对社会的贡献,其远大于海绵城市所产生的直接经济效益。但是,海绵城市的社会效益难以客观计算,这阻碍了人们对海绵城市的深入了解。因此,客观合理计算海绵城市的社会效益不仅可以反映海绵城市建设是否合理有效,也可为政策的制定提供参考。为此,本文提出一种将主观评价与客观计算相结合的海绵城市社会效益计算方法,通过对可客观计算的社会效益进行主观评价,利用客观计算的效益值将主观评价分值货币化,以此客观计算其他仅可主观评价的社会效益。文中以天津大学北洋园校区为例计算校区内海绵设施的社会效益,结果显示:该校区雨水花园、下凹式绿地和雨水湿地等5种海绵设施的社会效益为1.0~15.5元/(m²·a),植草沟为2.97元/(m·a)。其中,社会效益最高的是雨水湿地,下凹式绿地社会效益最低。根据天津大学北洋园校区各海绵设施建设面积,该校区海绵设施总社会效益约为232.8万元/a。  相似文献   

Challenges for New Zealand's individual transferable quota system: Processor consolidation,fisher exclusion, & Māori quota rights     

《Marine Policy》2017

This paper identifies three management initiatives in New Zealand's Individual Transferable Quota system that facilitated consolidation of the processing sector and limited market access for fishers, even those with quota rights. They are: (1) the placement of responsibility onto a Māori trust in 1992 and tribes (iwi) in 2004 to manage a limited amount of quota to benefit all Māori, fishers and non-fishers, which increased the use of quota as an investment asset; (2) the creation of Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE) as a fish access right separate from the quota ownership right, which made it possible to overcome consolidation limits by leasing ACE; (3) the 1997 Licensed Fish Receiver Act that made it illegal for fishers to sell fish off the boat without food safety certification. This account of the fishery policy environment in New Zealand explains why, despite owning significant portions of New Zealand's fishing quota, few Māori are fishing, processing, or selling fish caught by Māori quota.  相似文献
