Which states will lead a just transition for the Arctic? A DeePeR analysis of global data on Arctic states and formal observer states     

《Global Environmental Change》2022

A fair and equitable low carbon future depends on a just transition which, in turn, requires leadership. Where the Arctic is concerned, this leadership is currently lacking. To gauge which states are most likely to provide leadership in the global energy transition, a quantitative rank-percentile assessment of 21 Arctic Council members and Observer states was conducted, using measures relevant to the just transition. Data from multiple open-access sources were combined, creating a model to ‘evaluate energy and equity aspects of Distributional, Procedural and Restorative’ justice (DeePeR). Results suggest normative leadership on a just transition for the Arctic comprises international climate contributions in line with carbon emission records and a commitment to both fair and green jobs. Reflections are made on the positive and negative effects of a more involved EU for the just transition agenda in the Arctic.  相似文献   

Chinese Narratives on “One Belt,One Road” (一带一路) in Geopolitical and Imperial Contexts     

James D. Sidaway  Chih Yuan Woon 《The Professional geographer》2017,69(4):591-603

This article reviews Chinese-language writings on the ideas of a Silk Road Economic Belt and Maritime Silk Road that have proliferated in the last few years, now under the aegis of and visualized as One Belt, One Road (一带一路). We examine how these narratives articulate with geopolitical and strategic ones in China before exploring the history of the idea of Silk Road(s). An excavation of their origins in nineteenth-century German imperial geography leads us to reflect on the past and present relations between states, empires, and geopolitics and to begin to chart the range of responses to One Belt, One Road.  相似文献   

The exploitation of off-shore mineral resources     

Peter R. Odell 《GeoJournal》1997,42(1):17-26

The exploitation of offshore mineral wealth is generally higher cost than from land based developments. Given the availability of adequate resources relative to expected demand, interest in the exploitation of most offshore minerals seems likely to remain minimal. There are two exceptions, viz. first, sands and gravels and second, hydrocarbons. Offshore exploitation of the former is restricted to shallow sea floor deposits close to nearby onshore areas of high demand. Their extraction is a highly localised phenomenon. Offshore hydrocarbons production had similar locational characteristics as extensions of pre-existing onshore developments. Recently, however, offshore hydrocarbons have been increasingly exploited in their own right: in areas where market opportunities made such higher-cost operations economically and/or geo-politically attractive. The North Sea stands out in significance. Here, development has been highly pro-active, in terms of political, technological and entrepreneurial considerations. This has produced a unique geographical phenomenon in the maritime environment which will continue to be important for two more decades, and be extended to other north-west European offshore locations. What remains to emerge is the strength of its demonstration effect elsewhere, where the combination of the highly favourable circumstances of Western Europe for such intensive offshore hydrocarbons activities may not reoccur.  相似文献   

全球文化转变的理论背景与方法论框架——兼论中国文化的跨国实践     

钱俊希  安宁 《地理研究》2021,40(11):3103-3117

当今世界正在经历百年未有之变局,全球文化的格局也在经历二战以来最深刻的转变。本文包含三个目的：首先,本文勾勒了全球文化转变的脉络和轮廓。文章首先回顾了有关文化全球化的理论,指出这是经济全球化的一个重要结果。同时,本文指出以资本主义现代性、个人主义和消费主义为基本前提和假设的文化全球化在21世纪、尤其是911事件以来受到了强烈的挑战。其次,本文基于行动者网络理论提出一个文化跨地方实践的“转译”模型,试图将微观尺度的文化实践与宏观尺度的地缘政治关系和过程,以及中观尺度的区域背景结合起来进行整体性考察。最后,本文结合孔子学院和李子柒网络文化实践等案例,对本文提出的理论语境和方法论工具的有效性和适用性进行证明,并对中国跨国文化实践的挑战和机遇进行了简要的述评和分析。  相似文献   

西方情感地缘政治研究进展   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李鹏  姚路超  林郁倩  封丹 《热带地理》2021,41(6):1166-1174

通过对情感地缘政治早期的经典和国际学术期刊论文的梳理,对情感地缘政治的起源、主要议题进行了总结。研究发现,情感地缘政治打破了传统地缘政治理论中情感与理性的二元对立,将情感引入地缘政治分析的中心位置。借用非表征理论,情感地缘政治将地缘政治分析中的个人情感从以往边缘化的角色变成了核心的研究议题。目前西方情感地缘政治的议题主要围绕“日常生活－情感－全球政治”的权力几何关系展开,一方面从宏观上构建不同情感与政治行动的结构关系,另一方面从微观尺度解析不同文化背景中情感如何被地方化的生产并与全球地缘政治事件互动。研究的议题主要包括对于全球恐惧情感的批判地缘政治研究,日常生活与地缘政治的关系,以及情感对于外交政策的影响3个方面。  相似文献   

东非油气资源开发的历史透视与现状解析     

王涛  曹峰毓 《世界地理研究》2016,(2):9-20

东非油气资源开发始于一战前,二战后出现第一个勘探高峰期。随着冷战结束,东非油气资源开发的力度不断加大,国际能源公司纷纷入驻。在中小型能源公司的积极开拓下,于2006年以后相继取得重大勘探成果。东非油气资源已呈现出分布广、储量大的特点,并吸引一批国际大型能源公司的投资,加快了能源产业的发展,推动了能源立法的建设。随着东非在全球能源版图中地位的凸显,地区外大国在该地区的博弈也日趋激烈。东非各国则获得发展的新机遇,并将推进地区一体化进程。然而,若东非各国不能妥善处理政府能力问题、腐败问题、经济结构问题、利益分配问题、恐怖主义问题等,将有可能陷入"资源诅咒"的陷阱中。  相似文献   

Food Safety and Contract Edamame: The Geopolitics of the Vegetable Trade in East Asia          下载免费PDF全文

Kuan‐chi Wang 《Geographical review》2018,108(2):274-295

This paper examines how the proliferation of the new Japanese food‐safety regime has influenced the edamame industries of China and Taiwan—the two largest producers of edamame beans in the world. Edamame is not only a popular cuisine in the Asia‐Pacific region, it is also responsible for the largest‐scale frozen vegetable flow in East Asia. This study addresses how the interaction between geopolitical realities and the subcontracting of edamame crops has created an access regime governing the vegetable trade in East Asia. By addressing the complexity of the geopolitics related to contract farming, this study considers the extent to which the Japanese edamame trade has subordinated edamame producers in multiple places in Asia, while Taiwan's edamame industry has positioned itself to obtain preferential access to the edamame flow between Japan, Taiwan, and China.  相似文献   

Fiji,rugby and the geopolitics of soft power. Shaping national and international identity          下载免费PDF全文

John Connell 《New Zealand geographer》2018,74(2):92-100

In this century, sport has steadily become a more visible and marketable part of everyday life and of global political significance. States have consequently used sport as a means of soft power in order to develop a positive international presence and, usually to a lesser extent, affirm national identity. Sport diplomacy is usually associated with mega‐events and large states, but Fiji has used its prowess in rugby, and its Sevens victory in the 2016 Olympic Games, to promote itself globally, strengthen its national image and support government claims to legitimacy. The government emphasised Fijian values to construct a banal nationalism, in the face of ethnic divisions, and external concerns over repression of civil society. At least ephemerally, Fiji acquired new international recognition, and the government gained national legitimacy, indicating the expanding role of sport in geopolitics.  相似文献   

从地缘关系视角解析“一带一路”的行动路径   总被引：11，自引：2，他引：9

“一带一路”倡议是人类历史上最伟大的全球治理工程,开辟了政治地理学研究的新纪元,为地缘关系研究提供了大舞台。地理学是从时间、空间和自然—社会系统三个维度理解陆地表层过程的科学,对地缘关系研究具有独特的功能和作用。因此,从地理学视角研究地缘关系具有其他学科无法比拟的优势。“一带一路”是当前最具挑战的科学和政策命题,从地缘关系视角研究“一带一路”,需要加强四个方面的结合：① 在科学思维上,需要还原论与系统论思维相结合;② 在科学数据建设上,需要社会人文与自然环境数据相结合;③ 在科学问题选择上,需要社会过程、人文过程、政治过程和自然过程相结合;④ 在研究方法上,需要经验方法、实证方法、系统方法与大数据研究方法相结合。中国地理学者应兼顾政治地理学科建设、地缘关系的学科交叉研究和“一带一路”全球实践开展研究。  相似文献   

21世纪以来中美科技权力空间格局与演化——高技术产品贸易视角     

张宇  刘承良  段德忠 《地理研究》2022,41(4):1032-1053

当前,技术主权化和科技逆全球化趋势日渐显现,全球迈入科技地缘政治时代,科技权力成为大国博弈的焦点。基于国家间相互依赖理论和均势理论,构建高技术产品贸易权力静态比较模型,动态刻画了新世纪以来中美科技权力空间领域及均势区变动过程：① 全球科技权力版图加速重构,科技权力重心系统性东移,由美国“一极独大”格局向“中美双核”驱动态势演化,双方在科技权力博弈上此消彼长,形成东西并立的格局;② 中国科技权力空间迅速由周边地区向“一带一路”沿线扩展,美国科技权力空间出现明显收缩,但仍居领导地位;③ 中美科技权力均势区向发达国家、创新资源禀赋型国家转移,欧洲成为双方科技权力的重要均势区,电子技术和光电技术产品则是双方博弈的焦点领域。  相似文献
