Abstract

Lin G. C. S. Scaling-up regional development in globalizing China: local capital accumulation, land-centred politics, and reproduction of space, Regional Studies. Drawing on insights from political economy and Third World political ecology, this study identifies a new process of regional development in globalizing southern China where municipalities have engaged in a land-based and city-centred development as a means of original capital accumulation. Global capitalism and reshuffling of the socialist political economy have given rise to a strategy to scale-up the urban region and reproduce space for locally controlled development. Subsequent gain in growth and competitiveness has been accompanied by increased inequality and social discontents. Greater attention needs to be devoted to the social and political origins of regional development. [image omitted] Lin G. C. S. Un amenagement du territoire a l'echelle en Chine au moment de la mondialisation: l'accumulation du capital local, la politique centree sur l'occupation du sol, et la redefinition de l'espace, Regional Studies. La resurgence du regionalisme, suite a la course a la mondialisation, a fait faire le point aux specialistes sur quelques atouts relationnels d'envergure regionale comme sources d'un amenagement du territoire dynamique, innovateur et competitif. Toujours est-il que des recherches recentes ont laisse supposer que les liens externes jouent un role aussi important, sinon plus important, que ne le jouent les rapports internes. Cet article cherche a evaluer d'un oeil critique le debat sur les facteurs endogenes et exogenes dans l'amenagement du territoire. Puisant dans des apercus theoriques tires de l'economie politique et de l'ecologie politique du Tiers monde, cet article cherche a analyser aussi les causes et les consequences de la politique d'amenagement du territoire recente en Guangdong, dans le sud de la Chine. Amenagement du territoire Economie politique Occupation du sol Chine Delta de la Pearl Lin G. C. S. Aufwertung der Regionalentwicklung in der Globalisierung von China: Ansammlung von Lokalkapital, landzentrierte Politiken und Reproduktion von Raum, Regional Studies. Die Renaissance des Regionalismus nach dem Globalisierungsfieber hat die Aufmerksamkeit der Akademiker auf regional spezifisches relationales Kapital als Quelle einer dynamischen, innovativen und konkurrenzfahigen Regionalentwicklung gelenkt. Aus den aktuellen Studien geht jedoch hervor, dass extraregionale Verknupfungen eine nicht weniger wichtige, wenn nicht sogar grossere Rolle spielen als interne Beziehungen. In diesem Beitrag wird die anhaltende Debatte uber Endogenismus und Exogenismus in der Studie der Regionalentwicklung kritisch bewertet. Ausgehend von theoretischen Einblicken der politischen Wirtschaft und der politischen Okologie der Dritten Welt werden in diesem Artikel die Ursachen und Folgen der jungsten Regionalentwicklung in der sudchinesischen Provinz Guangdong analysiert.

Mejorar el desarrollo regional en la China globalizada: acumulacion de capital local, politicas sobre el uso de terreno y reproduccion del espacio, Regional Studies. El resurgimiento del regionalismo tras la fiebre de la globalizacion ha hecho modificar la atencion academica hacia ventajas relacionales especificamente regionales como fuentes de desarrollo regional dinamico, innovador y competitivo. Sin embargo, en recientes estudios se ha demostrado que los vinculos extra-regionales han desempenado un papel no menos importante, o hasta mayor, que el de las relaciones internas. En este articulo se evalua desde un punto de vista critico el debate permanente sobre endogenismo y exogenismo en el estudio del desarrollo regional. Basandonos en perspectivas teoricas sobre la economia politica y la ecologia politica del Tercer Mundo, en este ensayo analizo las causas y consecuencias del reciente desarrollo regional en la provincia de Guangdong, al sur de China.
