Population, employment and economic capacity continue to concentrate in and around large urban centres. If geography (measured
as proximity to large centres of population) increasingly matters in the knowledge economy, then there may be no future for
periphery locations. This paper critically reviews and refutes this hypothesis by looking at the world’s small islands. Handicapped
by size and distance, they are unable to generate scale dynamics nor to regularly access any neighbouring, large metropolitan
centres. Nevertheless, jurisdictional resourcefulness resulting from sovereignty or sub-national autonomy fosters compensatory
policy capacity. Demand for niche-technology manufactures and craft-based, labour-intensive or place-specific services is
likely to persist. Cyclical migration strategies allow islanders seeking work or education off island to tap the metropole
and re-inject resources to reinvigorate the periphery. Remittances, aid, bureaucracy and other “rents” can provide significant
fiscal resources necessary for survival. 相似文献

This study used data from the Demographic and Health Surveys to examine the prevalence and correlates of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against men in Africa. Nationally representative data from 12 countries was analysed using a Spatial Latent Gaussian Model to capture the linear and non-linear nature of covariates while accounting for spatial heterogeneity. The results showed that female perpetrated abuse was significantly associated with education, alcohol consumption, intergenerational cycle of violence, polygamy, wealth, and type of union. As far as age of perpetrator (female) or victim (male) and spousal age difference were concerned, they had a non-linear effect on IPV. Furthermore, the spatial effects highlighted lack of spatial autocorrelation between the prevalence of IPV as one moves from country to country. 相似文献

The article examines the role of agricultural GDP growth in alleviating rural poverty in LDCs. Cross‐sectional regression analysis indicates that GDP growth by itself takes a very long time to reduce poverty significantly. It suggests that decreases in land concentration could have a more immediate impact on reducing rural poverty; the budgetary and other costs of implementing such changes are not, however, considered. The preferred approach is a combination of equitable growth and redistributive measures. 相似文献
