Resumen

Interaction between Taiwan and China has increased remarkably in recent decades. From being complete enemies in 1949 to the momentum created by the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement in 2010, both countries have come a long way. This thesis focuses on the extent of interaction and cooperation between businesses and Chinese local authorities in the Chinese Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD) and their impact on Taiwanese investment. The Chinese central government has expressly set out its policies of encouragement of specific preferential treatment, and the researcher seeks to answer: to what degree in fact local governments share central government objectives and implement such preferential policies in their areas (including by way of their own policies), and what are the factors governing their decisions. It also explains how the local authorities and local Taiwanese investors (taishang) have interacted. To that end, it analyses an important set of relationships: that between Chinese central and local governments; between the Taiwanese government and Taiwanese business elites; and between Taiwanese investors and Chinese local governments in the YRD and PRD. This study places trans-border interactions in the context of globalization, regionalism and economic integration. China's overriding goal of uniting Taiwan with the PRC has remained constant but the method of achieving this objective has modified, adapting to the global environment, and its vision of a growing economy through its more recent national plans. Emphasis is now on greater economic linkages with Taiwan's economy, thus creating Taiwanese dependence on China's prosperity. Beyond economic reasons it is also hoped that greater connections between Chinese and Taiwanese will strengthen their sense of shared identity, thus making for unification via a "soft landing". This thesis examines the opportunities and constraints that Taiwanese businesses in the YRD and the PRD have in practice encountered, in order to determine whether Chinese local bureaucrats are a help or hindrance in this broader political objective of preferential treatment. It compares Taiwanese businesses with other overseas investors in both secondary and tertiary sectors in the two localities. The research methodology used has included semi-structured elite interviews in China and Taiwan between 2008 and 2010 with relevant decision-makers, namely Taiwanese investors, non-Taiwanese foreign investors, Chinese and Taiwanese government officials. In order to obtain qualitative insights into Chinese local authorities' viewpoints, attitudes and strategy of their approaches to the Taiwanese businesses in China, as well as knowledge of how Taiwanese businesses develop their business activities in China, the main method of data collection in this thesis is therefore in the form of elite interviews. The research concludes that while Taiwanese investors generally do get preferential treatment from Chinese local governments as compared with other investors, there is no general rule which can give them assurance of this. From an examination of several criteria influencing local governments, it seems that much depends on personal relations (guanxi) with Chinese officials, Chinese society being still heavily influenced by traditional attitudes and relationships. Further, the application of laws is still guided by 'rule of man' instead of 'rule of law'. Company location, size and type of industry are other important factors in the application of the preferential policies. Moreover, the incentives that Taiwanese investors have previously received are gradually decreasing, mainly for two reasons. One is the evolution of Chinese central government's plans, aiming to achieve their objectives for economic development of the country, while also making for a wider distribution of wealth and giving greater support to Chinese domestic companies. The other is because of the increased role of local governments, allowing them to set their own initiatives; their response is found to have been to put their localities' interests first and act more independently and pragmatically to changes in their local circumstances. This thesis has made a contribution to the application of methodology by its in-depth analysis and diversity of people interviewed, and to existing literature by exploring the less-developed area of cross-strait political economy studies. However, the qualitative nature of this study and its reliance on a situation which is subject to constant change provide room for further examination by others with different backgrounds or may usefully be looked at again in the light of additional information, such as larger samples of interviews, a different methodology such as quantitative methods, different variables such as Chinese domestic companies, different regions of China, or developments in the countries and regions under study.

Resumen

[Truncated abstract] Environmental changes have had major impacts on past human societies across the globe, and a better understanding of this human-environment interaction is necessary for building societies with resilience towards future environmental change, and to effectively conserve areas of natural environments into the future. Regions such as the Yangtze delta, that have a long history of rice cultivation (dating to at least ca. 7000 BP) and a high density of prehistoric sites, provide an ideal backdrop to study both long-term human-environment interactions, and the environmental impacts of agricultural societies. This study aims to provide Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstructions for three study sites in the Yangtze delta region, with the principle objectives of detecting human activity particularly that associated with the development of rice agriculture and identifying environmental changes within the palaeoenvironmental records. A parallel aim is to develop the use of quantitative biomarker and compound specific isotope analyses in Holocene palaeoenvironmental investigations, including in the detection of early agricultural environments, through analysis of sedimentary deposits. Palaeoenvironmental records for the three study sites, Qingpu, Guangfulin and Liangzhu, cover the time period from ca. 12,000 to ca. 400 BP. '...' Greater proportions of coniferous and deciduous taxa early in the records (prior to ca. 7000 BP) indicate comparatively cooler conditions, while the increased abundance of Chenopodiaceae during that time suggests both cooler conditions and a greater marine influence in the region. Palaeoenvironmental data obtained during this study suggest agriculture in the delta region to have gradually increased in importance from ca. 7000 2400 BP. The Guangfulin study site yielded the earliest evidence of agricultural activity, dating to ca. 7000 BP, principally in the form of a corresponding increase in Poaceae (Oryza comp.) abundance and decline of arboreal forest taxa. Subsequent periods of agricultural intensification are noted at ca. 5360 BP at Liangzhu and ca. 4700 BP at Guangfulin. Following the final period of intensification at Qingpu and Guangfulin (ca. 2400 BP), the extent of cultivated land in the delta region may have been comparable to modern times. Technological development during the early dynasties, particularly the greater availability of iron tools, is likely to have been a major factor driving the agricultural intensification detected ca. 2400 BP. The large tracts of natural vegetation detected by this research prior to ca. 2400 BP, would have afforded a degree of resilience to the human inhabitants of the delta region. Following the contraction of natural vegetation in the delta region, societies would have gained some resilience through access to the extensive trade network of the Chinese state. Resilience acquired through these means may, in part, account for the longevity of agricultural societies in the Yangtze delta region of China.

Resumen

With the rise of cities as geographical units, there have been a growing number of municipal partnerships and networks. Government-led intercity cooperation at regional scale—regional city-to-city (C2C) cooperation booms in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region in the last two decades. Urban competitiveness is a concept tied to intercity competition that decides the relative position of cities in urban ranking. In regional C2C cooperation, urban competitiveness serves as the asset of partner-cities and usually as one of the primary targets of the cooperation. However, there is a general lack of studies on the influence of urban competitiveness on regional C2C cooperation. The introduction of the perspective of urban competitiveness is an approach of developing a comprehensive framework connecting factors of regional C2C cooperation. The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of urban competitiveness on regional C2C cooperation in China’s local context. In this study, the added value of regional C2C cooperation is divided into added value of urban competitiveness and political added value brought by intervention from upper-level governments. Three typology of C2C cooperation (i.e. hybrid, hierarchical and spontaneous) have been identified. Three cases in the YRD region including the Jiangyin-Jingjiang Industrial Park of Jiangsu Province, Suzhou-Suqian Industrial Park, and Shanghai Caohejing Hi-Tech Park Haining Sub-park are selected for case studies accordingly. This study indicates that urban competitiveness and government intervention are crucial to regional C2C cooperation. Urban competitiveness is essential in regional C2C partnership maintenance, while intervention from upper-level governments is effective and efficient in strategy formulation and partner selection. The measurement of urban competitiveness in the YRD region in 2002, 2005, and 2008 indicates the partner-city with relatively larger urban competitiveness is more likely to assume a leading role in the C2C partnership. Noticeably, it is found that the intervention from the provincial government tends to consolidate such impact. The measurement also reveals that urban competitiveness in the YRD region is transforming from an investment-driven stage to an innovation- and human capital-driven stage. Noticeably, the increasing weighting of basic factors in the building of urban competitiveness found in the YRD region is hard to be explained by the mainstream urban competitive advantage theories. Therefore, a localization of the theories is advocated by this research. Imprints of China’s local context transpire in the three cases, including economic decentralization and simultaneous political centralization. The role of provincial government is weakened in China’s political restructuring. However, revealed by the case studies, intervention from provincial government to regional C2C cooperation is still observed to be effective in terms of strategy formulation and negotiation. With the rise of public-private partnership focusing on investment and economic growth, as well as strong government intervention in regional C2C cooperation, the three cases reflect China’s urban entrepreneurialism. Furthermore, a recent shift in China’s urban entrepreneurialism has been found in the region, which is the increasing emphasis on environmental care for sustainable development. This recent shift accords with the global movement toward environmentalism for sustainable development. The underlying logic and reasons are different from those in the West, resting upon the different nature of involvement and governing process. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the relations between urban competitiveness and regional C2C cooperation in China’s local context and the role of governments. As one of the most developed regions in China, the experiences in the YRD region can shed light on the development of other developing areas.

Resumen

Urban entrepreneurialism and intensive inter-city competition prevails in post-reform China, which has been extensively documented in the literature. However, decentralisation is not the overall characterisation of China's changing central-local relationship since 1978. The aim of this research is to present various types of 'regionalisation' initiatives and examine the development of regional governance in China With reference to the Western theoretical perspective of state spatiality, state rescaling and politics of scale, this study develops a research framework to examine the changing scale of governance and explore the engagement and motivations of different actors. In this study, after an overall examination of recent regional practices in China, Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is treated as a laboratory to investigate the dynamics and politics around the building of regional governance. In addition to a large amount of relevant material and publications on regional policies, regional plans, administrative changes and collaborative practices, semi-structured interviews with involved academics, planning professionals and government officials are conducted to investigate the actual transformation process of regional governance. Since the mid 2000s, the economic development and agglomeration in the YRD has created more scope, as well as a need for collaboration. It seems regional collaboration is valued and driven by both central and local government. Nevertheless, in terms of institutional arrangements, there has been no formal regional institution or informal regional coalition thus far. Moreover, both the bottom-up and the top-down regional governance initiatives lack substantial participation and multilateral negotiation between cities. There are essentially two different readings of the rationale of regional governance. While the bottom-up collaborative development is envisioned by the local entrepreneurial government to use regional competitiveness to promote local development, the top-down national and regional agenda is used by the central government to tackle discretionary local development. Therefore, the emerging regional governance in the YRD is hybrid and complicated. The building of regional governance in China is contested by complex inter-governmental politics, especially the division of central-local power and responsibility.

Resumen

This thesis aims to understand the ways in which migrant people's belonging is constituted in the contemporary transnationalised world. Through an investigation, based on in-depth interviews and participant observation, of Taiwanese expatriates' everyday lives in the Yangtze River Delta, China, this research discerns the ways in which migrant belonging is grounded and constituted as part of their border-crossing practices. My analysis considers Taiwanese expatriates' practices of belonging as outcomes shaped by their interactions in and with place. Therefore, it also contributes to a geographic understanding of migrant belonging. In particular, I foreground the role of place in mediating migrant belonging by attending to the spatiality of migrants' everyday lives with special regard to their practices in domestic space, workplace and leisure space. In this regard, my research findings also confirm the stickiness of place in contemporary migrants' activities and counteract the discourse of mobile peoples' frictionless movement in the borderless world. The empirical study also establishes an understanding of migrant belonging in relation to the politics of identity. It highlights how migrants' everyday practices of belonging are often informed and shaped by their (negotiations of) identities. As an overseas Chinese group, Taiwanese expatriates' experiences and negotiations of cultural and ethnic identity integral to their practices of belonging can be considered within the broader scholarship of Chinese diaspora. However, this research challenges the idea of a homogenous Chinese identity through the case study of Taiwanese in Mainland China, drawing attention to the diversity of Chinese identities and how they are practised and experienced. In so doing, this research not only advances the understanding of Chinese transnationalism, but the focus on Taiwanese expatriates' belonging as situated lived practices also contributes to enrich recent academic writings on the grounded form of transnationalism and middling transnationalism.

Resumen

Multi-hazard risk assessment (MHRA) has become a major concern in the risk study area, but existing approaches do not adequately meet the needs of risk mitigation planning. The main research gap in the existing approaches was identified that they cannot consider all hazard interactions when calculating possible losses. Hence, an improved MHRA model, MmhRisk-HI (Model for multi-hazard Risk assessment with a consideration of Hazard Interaction), was developed. This model calculates the possible loss caused by multiple hazards, with an explicit consideration of interaction between different hazards. A more complete perspective, the regional disaster system perspective, was selected as the basic theory, and two categories of multi-hazard risk expressions were combined in the model construction. Hazard identification, hazard analysis, hazard interaction analysis, exposure analysis and vulnerability analysis are the five basic modules of the developed model. The concept of hazard-forming environment was introduced into the MHRA research as the basis for hazard identification, hazard analysis, and hazard interaction analysis. The methods used for exposure analysis depend on the scale of the region to be addressed and the assessment units. A Bayesian Network was adopted to calculate the loss ratio in the vulnerability analysis. This developed model was applied into the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and validated by comparison with an observed multi-hazard sequence. The validation results (simulation results are consistent with observed results in 76.36% of the counties, and the deviation of an estimated aggregate loss value from its actual value is less than 2.79%) show that this model can more effectively represent the real world, and that the outputs, possible loss caused by multiple hazards, obtained with the model are reliable. The outputs can additionally help to identify which area is at greatest risk (of loss), and allow a determination of the reasons that contribute to the greatest losses. Hence, it is a useful tool which can provide further information for planners and decision-makers concerned with risk mitigation.

Resumen

Gateway is a common term that has appeared mainly in geographical literature in various contexts. The focus on gateway shifts our attention away from “which cities dominate” to “how cities are affected by globalization.” This dissertation aims to (1) justify the imbalanced development between air and maritime transport within gateway cities, and the existence of a multi-port and multi-airport gateway region in coastal China; (2) initially explore an operational framework of the states in the process of gateway planning, formation, and promotion in China; and (3) conceptualize the discourses behind the intervention of the states and the competitions among them in the process of building and developing gateways. With these research objectives in mind, two hypotheses are proposed: (1) the hierarchical gateway systems and the interdependency among multiple airports and multiple ports within a region could be explained by the concept of “administrative capital,” and the development of gateway is affected by various states with different administrative capitals; and (2) the devolution reform in the port and airport sectors could be explained by path dependence, thereby revealing the reasons behind the changing role of the states in developing gateways in different periods. A combination of research methods, actualized in two complementary phases, is used in the study. The Ningbo gateway, as well as gateways (including airports and ports) in the South Yangtze River Delta, is chosen for the case study. First, the interdependency between airports and seaports in the region is analyzed by using annual and monthly data. Second, the role of the states in building and promoting gateways is analyzed by the concept of “administrative capital” and “path dependence,” based on related policies and information obtained from three interviews conducted in Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. The cargo throughputs of multiple airports and multiple ports in a region are found to have fairly strong interdependence on both monthly and annual bases. Therefore, to some extent, the demand for air cargo and seaborne shipments is strongly interdependent at a regional level. With such background, inadequacies in the capacity and connectivity of Ningbo Airport in servicing Ningbo are revealed. Support from the local government is important in the development of gateways. Such development is affected by different administrative ranks of the states and the accumulation of various advantages gained by the states because of their position in the national or regional administrative ladder. This dissertation proposes the concept of “administrative capital” to decode the discourses behind the interdependency between airports and ports in the region, as well as their unbalanced development. Thus, how administrative capital works in a government-dominated economy and leads to the formation of the geographical space of transport gateways is identified.

Resumen

Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region experiences severe haze pollution as a result of rapid economy growth and urbanization during recent decades. Its annual average PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5μm) concentration often exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards of China–Grade II (35 μg m-3) and this occurs not only in urban areas but also in suburban and rural areas as well. One of the major contributors to the decreasing air quality in this region is biomass burning. Hence, this research aims to study biomass burning impact on the air quality in YRD through the investigation of atmospheric fine aerosols. An intensive field sampling campaign was conducted at four representative sampling sites in urban, suburban and rural areas of this region from December 2014 to November 2015. The characteristics of PM2.5 samples that collected in this region were investigated through a comprehensive analysis of major components of aerosol samples, including major water soluble inorganic ions (WSII), trace metals, organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), biomass burning tracers and fungal spore tracers. The investigation of above mentioned components can provide a very comprehensive profile of PM2.5-related pollutants in YRD. In addition, air mass backward trajectory analysis and fire-spots analysis were also carried out in this study to identify air mass origins, pathways and fire events in this region. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was also applied to estimate the contribution from biomass burning to fine aerosols in YRD. Both temporal and spatial trends of above pollutants were studied accordingly to set up seasonal and geographical profiles. In total, more than 240 PM2.5 samples were being analysed in this study. The annual average PM2.5 concentration in this region was 66.2 ± 37.7 μg m-3, and urban sites were observed with higher PM2.5 concentrations than the other two suburban and rural sites. The annual average concentration of total 12 WSII in YRD was 29.1 ± 19.9 μg m-3, dominated by SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, Cl-, and K+. The annual averaged concentration of total 20 metals in YRD was 2.8 ± 0.4 μg m-3, dominated by K, Al, Fe, Mg, Zn and V (> 100 ng m-3). The carcinogenic risk of Cr and As via ingestion is higher than the acceptable level for all residences in YRD. The annual average level of PM2.5-associated total carbon (TC) at YRD region was 14.3 ± 4.1 μg m-3, accounted for 26.2 (± 6.5) % of annual mean PM2.5 concentration. The annual averaged concentration of total 17 PAHs in YRD was 35.5 ± 12.3 ng m-3, dominated by retene, BkF, BbF, Ind, Bpe, Flt and Chr (> 2 ng m-3). The annual lifetime cancer risk of PAHs through inhalation exposure in YRD was 3.57 × 10-4. The annual average concentrations of levoglucosan and arabitol were 81.3 ± 18.2 ng m-3 and 5.6 ± 0.7 ng m-3 respectively. These compounds above exhibited similar seasonal patterns as PM2.5 with elevated level in winter and lower level in summer, except fungal spore tracers which showed the highest concentration in summer. In total, WSII, trace metals, TC, PAHs and organic tracers explained more than 69.8 % of total PM2.5 in YRD. The contribution from biomass burning to fine aerosols in YRD was 18.2%-37.4%. The concentration of biomass burning emitted PM2.5 ranged from 10.07 μg m-3 in spring to 27.60 μg m-3 in winter. Fine aerosols in southern YRD were contributed remarkably by fuel combustion such as coal and biomass burning, with less contributions from traffic emissions and soil origins, minor from sea salts. The contribution from coal combustion and biomass burning was more significant in winter and autumn than in spring and summer. The contribution from biomass burning decreased within the provincial capital municipality and the influence from biomass burning was more significant in rural area during autumn. In addition, the air mass backward trajectory analysis also showed that the contribution from transboundary transport of aerosols from highly polluted north China cannot be neglected.

Resumen

During the past decade, the high-speed rail (HSR) has got momentum in China, and a number of lines have been put into operation. However, it is noted that the HSR development in China is quite different from that in other regions. The discrepancies are mainly embodied in the duality of HSR types, the diversity of station locations, and the mixed-speed and cross-rail-type train running scheme. These characteristics have considerable impacts on the HSR stations in terms of the external accessibility in the HSR network as well as the internal accessibility in the cities. Based on the comparative study on the accessibility of main HSR stations in Yangtze River Delta, it is discovered that compared with the conventional rail (CR), the HSR has significantly improved the external accessibility of various cities. It is also found that the HSR has further enhanced the hub status of big cities in the rail network, while the differences among the other cities have been reduced, since the small cities have benefited much more from the HSR than the medium cities. Besides, introducing a new HSR line would improve the external accessibility of cities not only in the HSR network but also in the CR network, due to substantial increases in the efficiency of the whole rail system. In terms of the internal accessibility, it is found that the location choice of stations has significant impacts on the accessibility of HSR stations in cities, and the newly built stations have much lower accessibility due to their remote locations and the under-developed transport facilities and services connecting to them. Overall, for a complete journey by the HSR, the improvement in the external accessibility has made the internal accessibility of HSR stations more critical and sensitive. In this sense, more efforts should be paid to improve the urban transport system so as to fully utilize the positive effects brought about by the HSR.

Resumen

Cette recherche interroge l’existence des nouvelles formes de ruralité émergentes dans le bassin métropolitain du delta du Yangzi. En opposition à l’écart croissant entre patrimoine infrastructurel et société on réaffirme la priorité du territoire comme principe théorique et paradigme naturel. L’analyse des processus historiques d’aménagement du territoire agricole à partir des réformes foncières et des pratiques autochtones de « Guangxi » (réseaux sociaux), a révélé une restructuration des ressources stratégiques du territoire du delta avant la réorganisation des espaces ruraux bâtis : la nature du sol et le réseau de l’eau. En même temps dispositif de contrôle politique et de développement social, la modification de l’infrastructure territoriale jusqu’ à la fin du maoïsme, peut être interprétée comme un investissement sur le long terme du capital humain et environnemental. Notre hypothèse est que la diffusion des petites et moyennes entreprises dans les zones rurales représente une forme de capitalisation des matrices sociales et organisationnelles du tissu agricole plus ancien. Ces transformations ont amené à la formation de nombreux espaces hybrides et clusters des entreprises dispersées dans la campagne qui s’appuient de façon complémentaire aux réseaux environnementaux préexistants. En conséquence, ce mode de production a à son tour, remodelé la relation entre l'économie, les communautés et l'environnement naturel locaux donnant lieu à des formes du développement sans fractures, plus ductiles et résilientes où la relation entre l'espace construit et l'espace agricole n'est plus de nature opposée. Ce qui émerge est un réseau de “milieux” dont chaque élément rend compte de la conception d’un paysage, de matériaux propres, de méthodes et procédures de construction. L’organisation morphologique qui en résulte montre un modèle d'urbanisation capillaire dans ces zones conventionnellement définies « non-urbaines ». Interroger ces formes émergentes de ruralité veut dire réviser la façon de conceptualiser la notion du « territoire métropolitain », et notamment de ce que on définis l’ « urbain ». On fait valoir, finalement, pour un besoin urgent de reconsidérer la séquence programmatique qui sous-tendent la morphologie spatiale de régions mégalopolitaines, par la prise en compte des rapports de continuité entre « milieux » et « communauté » et par le biais d'un examen des interactions entre ces réalités souvent, disjoints
The territorial scale and the form of the territory are fundamental basis to understand metropolitan processes and the changes occurred in its spatial, economic and social structure. The centrality of landforms and of their dynamics inspires more situated approaches, in which the agency of natural elements is integrated. This research investigates the existence of new forms of emerging rurality in the metropolitan basin of the Yangtze Delta. In opposition to the growing gap between infrastructural heritage and society, the priority of the territory is reaffirmed as a theoretical tool and environmental paradigm. The research hypothesis is that the spread of small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas represents a form of capitalization of the spatial reorganization occurred in the Commune's period. The preliminary factor which originated the process of rural industrialization is based on the restructuring of two strategic territorial resources: the soil structure and the water network. These transformations have led to the formation of numerous hybrid spaces and clusters of small and micro enterprises dispersed over the countryside. As a result, this mode of production has, in turn, reshaped the relationship between the local economy, communities and natural environment giving rise to forms of urban development without fractures, where the relationship between the built space and the agricultural area is no longer of an opposite nature. What emerges is a network of "milieu” where the resulting socio-spatial organization shows a pattern of capillary urbanization in these conventionally defined "non-urban" areas. The notion of urban is changing and ecological rationality can offer fundamental opportunities to analyse, intersect and integrate the various territorial layers

Resumen

Since Gottmann published his pioneering work on megalopolises in 1957, the significance of the concept has been recognized over the last six decades. The concept has inspired a variety of terms used to describe large-scale urbanized forms – such as ‘mega-city regions’, ‘megaregions’ and ‘polycentric urban regions’. Despite the recent resurgent interest in these terms, the two key features that Gottmann (1961, 1976) ascribed to megalopolises have been often neglected in recent literature - their being the ‘hub’ that links national to international urban systems and the ‘incubator’ within national urban systems. In this research, I reconsider the two defining but often overlooked functions of megalopolises by analyzing how megalopolises have articulated national and international urban systems in a globalizing knowledge economy. Taking the case of China’s Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, I particularly focus upon intercity knowledge collaboration within and beyond this region during the 2000-2014 period. This is divided into two objectives: 1) what are the macro-level patterns and processes of knowledge collaboration at different geographical scales; 2) how have the patterns and processes been affected by micro-level proximity between economic entities. Here scientific knowledge collaboration and technological knowledge collaboration are distinguished with data drawn from the Web of Science and the World Intellectual Property Organization databases respectively. In general, the structure of knowledge collaboration has been functionally polycentric at the megalopolitan scale but become less so at the national and global scales. The ‘globally connected but locally disconnected’ pattern of Shanghai’s external knowledge collaboration suggests that the hinge role of the YRD megalopolis in knowledge collaboration will take time before it is fully realized. Drawing upon information obtained from email surveys of authors, identification of applicant relationships of co-patents, and interviews with identified patent applicants, the micro-level mechanism analysis reveals that mobility of academics mainly accounts for scientific knowledge collaboration whereas multinational enterprises, Chinese domestic firms, universities and research institutes, and the ‘new Argonaut’-like people contribute to technological knowledge collaboration. However, their roles differ in knowledge collaboration at different geographical scales, which also helps explain the underplayed hinge role of the YRD megalopolis.

Resumen

This thesis analyses e-commerce adoption by businesses in China from organisational, inter-organisational and external perspectives, taking into consideration the impact of regional differences within the nation. A comprehensive theoretical framework was created from both the Information System and Marketing literature. A quantitative study of 445 companies was conducted to validate the proposed theoretical framework. Eight determining factors were extracted from the organisational, inter-organisational and external perspectives by using Principal Component Factor Analysis. They are: Awareness, Intention, Preparation, Business Resources, Human Resources, Power/Dependence, Conflict/Cooperation and External Environment. Discriminant Analysis was then employed to analyse the ranking of these factors in each of three regions in China - the Pearl River Delta Economic Region, the Yangtze River Delta Economic Region and the West Region. This revealed the impact of uneven regional development on B2B e-commerce adoption patterns. Results from MANOVA test further identified differences between the regions. This thesis confirmed the effectiveness of both organisational and technological factors on B2B e-commerce adoption in developing economies, extending previous knowledge from IS literature. This study also revealed the importance of the inter-organisational interaction atmosphere on adoption preferences, which was ignored in existing literature. It is further found in this thesis that regional differences strongly influenced adoption, resulting in three completely different regional adoption patterns. Implications are drawn for both academics and practitioners who wish to study B2B e-commerce adoption in specific geographical regions.

Resumen

Global economic integration and urbanisation are two of the main processes which characterise contemporary globalisation. Urbanisation is so pervasive that urban landscapes now stretch far beyond the traditional city limits such that the city may no longer be the most appropriate unit to reflect how contemporary urban life is organised. Today, city-regions even mega city-regions are considered by some to be the primary spatial scale at which competing political and economic agendas are convened. Moreover, proponents of the new regionalism believe that decentralisation of state power is producing new forms of political economic regulation at supranational and subnational levels which are more appropriate for effective governance. However, it is argued that the geoeconomic logic for city-regionalism is focused too narrowly on the functional economic side of regional development, thereby overlooking how city-regions represent geopolitical constructions both of, and inside, the state. This thesis therefore aims to explore the constitutive role of politics in the construction of mega city-regions. The starting point is to complement North Atlantic accounts of city-regionalism by focusing on the geopolitics of city-regionalism in China. Using the Yangtze River Delta mega city-region as its case study, this thesis stresses that theories of new city-regionalism must increasingly be derived from, rather than applied to, the Chinese case. It is revealed how the unprecedented rate of city expansion, scale of urbanisation, and context of a highly centralised, one-party state, produces a distinctly Chinese city-regionalism that requires a combination of new conceptualisation, alongside refinement and modification of existing theories on mega city-regions.

Resumen

For inter-city cooperation at regional scale: (a) The thesis applies the partnership theory to regional scale, especially for inter-city cooperation. In this study, three different mechanisms of inter-city cooperation are identified, namely, spontaneous partnership, hierarchical partnership and hybrid partnership. Their effectiveness in inter-city cooperation is evaluated in the thesis. (b) The thesis argues that inter-city cooperation is also a process. Three stages, information exchange, thematic cooperation, and common market, are identified. (c) The thesis categorizes inter-city cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta region. Five ideal types of partnership arrangements for thematic cooperation are identified: development partnership, promotional partnership, coordination partnership, resource-based partnership and strategic partnership. (d) The thesis reveals some principles of partner (member city) selection for inter-city cooperation. In addition, according to the roles of actors in partnership building, the thesis classifies them into three types: crucial actors, influential actors and ordinary actors. Urban growth/cross-border urban growth at urban scale: (a) The traditional urban growth coalition approach neglects how "forces" operate above the local/urban scale, especially in globalizing and competitive world today. This thesis provides some insights for this problem and extends traditional urban growth coalition approach by considering the case of cross-border urban growth in China. (b) The thesis enhances the understanding of urban growth coalition in China. It is found that local governments play different roles in various stages of the formation of urban growth coalition. (c) It is found that an anti-coalition is emerging and has been strengthened in the context of land expropriation due to rapid industrial and urban expansion in China. The causes of the emergence of anti-coalitions are examined in the thesis.
Inter-city cooperation and cross-border development in the Yangtze River Delta region are new phenomena and have received much governmental and scholarly attention in recent years. The aim of this research is to examine inter-city cooperation taking place at regional scale and cross-border urban growth at urban scale from partnership perspective. In this study, three typical cases of inter-city cooperation, Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou Urban Region Planning, the Forum for the Coordination of Urban Economy of Yangtze River Delta Region and Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Jingjiang are selected to examine three types of partnership arrangements with different mobilizations, namely, hierarchical partnership, spontaneous partnership and hybrid partnership. The three case studies contribute to the study of inter-city cooperation based on Chinese experiences. Meanwhile, the case of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Jingjiang is also a case of cross-border urban growth. The findings from this case not only extend the urban growth coalition approach to the case of cross-border urban growth, but also deepen the understanding of urban growth politics in China. After tracing and examining the process of mobilization and actor interaction in each case, the major findings of this research are as follows:
The findings of this thesis enhance understanding of inter-city cooperation and cross-border urban growth in rapidly changing China. They not only help to improve the effectiveness of existing inter-city cooperation in the delta region, but also shed light on inter-city cooperation elsewhere. Lessons and experiences drawn from Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou Urban Region Planning and Jiangyin Economic Zone in Jingjiang shed light on urban region planning/coordinative planning and cross-border development respectively.

This article aims to explore the influence of Mainland China''s inter-governmental relations to the logistics in the Yangtze River Delta region. In short, research results can be summed up and related to Yangtze River Delta regions relationship between inter-structural governmental factors, to allow readers to understand the status of the logistics industry and policy development in the Yangtze River Delta and it’s obstacles. Through governmental inter-system structure, relating to the Yangtze River Delta region''s logistics industry environment review, analysis between local government in Yangtze River Delta, and the existence of competitive behavior, different difficulties, as well as logistics management system of the Government; on the other hand, Central Government policies on logistics development in Yangtze River Delta region and the role it plays, furthermore what means of intervention is necessary. Finally we can conclude that, Under the influence of inter-institutional structure, logistics reforms in the management of the local government and functions of the Central Government policies have been meet with difficulty; on the other hand, tax reform in logistics by means of Central Government macro-control, yet still compressed direct access to tax revenue of the local governments financial capacity, resulting in local governments to rely more on other non-tax revenues, indirect effects of layouts and the operation of the logistics industry chain. Due to these structural factors that affect local government in Yangtze River Delta areas causes a dilemma in choosing to compete or cooperate; reflecting to the effectiveness of the reform policies of the Central Government.

Under the invincible influence of globalization, corporations are incessantly adjusting their operation and flow of supply chain between manufacturing and sales to increase their competitiveness. With its advantages of market, manpower and land, China has attracted companies across the world to invest and establish headquarters and manufacturing bases in China. With foreign capital and technology as well as its resources, China still maintains its economic growth at a high level. Besides, establishment of manufacturing centers brings in satellite factories accordingly; as a result, transportation, warehousing and logistics not only becoming essential but also developing at high speed. The selection of logistics center becomes an important issue to foreign companies as they manage to improve operation performance. This study is intended to pinpoint factors which affect the location selection of harbor-based logistics centers at Yangtze River Delta by Taiwanese logistics companies and thus acts as a reference for decision makers. The location selection of logistics center is a Multiple Criteria Decision Making (hereafter called MCDM) issue. It consists of both quantitative and qualitative criteria. The evaluation, selection and planning of a suitable harbor-based logistics center has become a key issue to the development of corporations. MCDM is significant research in Decision Sciences, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (hereafter called AHP) is one of the methods adopted by MCDM. The study will map out the evaluation methods of logistics centers by qualitative and quantitative analyses and analyze the factors which affect the location selection at Yangtze River Delta.

In China, many Taiwanese enterprises have encountered more difficulties in their operation since the 2008 Labor Contract Law was implemented. But there are still many Taiwanese enterprises who are willing to continue to stay in China. This Thesis examines how Taiwanese enterprises use different management strategies to achieve the goal of continuing operations in China. We believe that the study of Taiwanese enterprise’ strategy help understand China''s current investment environment. In addition, studying the management strategy of Taiwanese enterprises has theoretical implications. At present, the existing literature focuses on the importance of the relationship between Taiwanese enterprises and Chinese local government. However, we find that this relationship has its limitations. Many Taiwanese enterprises have chosen other strategies, including the localization of enterprises, to respond to the increasingly tedious labor inspection. Based on in-depth interviews with Taiwanese entrepreneurs and managers in Suzhou and Changzhou city, we found that Taiwanese enterprises in China have now faced four major operating difficulties: 1. Frequent labor disputes. 2. Tedious labor inspection. 3. Lack of labor supply. 4. Rising labor cost including social insurance. In order to deal with the first three difficulties, Taiwanese enterprises in China usually rely on the good relationship with local labor inspectors. However, in order to reduce the intensity and frequency of government''s labor inspection, maintaining good relationship between local governments and Taiwanese enterprises is not enough. As a result, many Taiwanese enterprises choose another strategy. To dealing with the fourth difficulty, that is, to reduce the rising labor cost, particularly the cost of social insurance, localization is very effective. This is because Chinese local government usually pay more attention to inspect foreign enterprises than to regulate local enterprises. Accordingly, many Taiwanese enterprises localize their companies in order to ease the labor inspection and to reduce social insurance cost. We also found that there are two modes of this strategy: First, Taiwanese enterprises can directly change the ownership structure of their company. The most common way is to transfer the ownership to their Chinese spouses. By doing so, the company becomes a local Chinese enterprise. Second, Taiwanese enterprises may closely corporate with a local Chinese company in the form of OEM to produce their products. In addition, we also found that automation has become a common way for Taiwanese enterprises to solve these aforementioned operational difficulties. This would require further study in the future.

Abstract The aim of this research was based on the investments in Mainland China to provide significant information to Taiwanese businessmen for future purposes. Due to the growing global economic trade, China has become a competitive role in the market. Its strengths reply on several potential aspects. China is not only the largest population country in the world, but also the biggest geographical trading zone. International high-tech enterprises, businessmen, and many pioneers strive for their chances in China. The phenomenon of high-tech industry in Yangtze River Delta Area is the most obvious. Taiwanese businessmen have no exception in this case. They arrived in Mainland China for the inspection and the investment in setting up factories. In this place, there are numerous international industries such as Information Technology ( IT), engineering, and electronic products factories and so on. Famous brands include IBM, HP, Compaq, Acer, Asus, Foxconn and Dell etc. This research discussed how new high-tech industry clusters have influenced in China. It carries a series of analysis via different regions. Research technique proposed by Michael Porter (1990) "The diamond model" was adopted in this study. Researcher collected and analyzed information of the current developed situation of the high-tech industries based on Yangtze River Delta Area. Five appraisals were conducted through SWOT comparative analysis. Related prospects of workers and specialists were interviewed. The study concluded several crucial factors among Taiwanese high-tech industries in Yangtze River Delta Area. The most important finding is the key among three parties; consumers, upper, and down stream merchants. It tells the better relationship that is shown, the better chance to be successful in business. For example, up-scale, high-tech enterprises should choose Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. These areas can provide better quality in terms of human resources and sufficient urban settings. On the other hand, manufacture enterprises can be settled in local secondary cities, for example Ningbo, Kunshan, Wujiang, Suzhou, and Wuxi places. The locality is cheaper and the existed industrial cluster phenomenon may reduce the cost. Many high-tech industries have invested in these areas. The study also found the unique qualities of these areas. Area of high-tech industries shows that it is the most competitive site. Then, the area of Economic-Technological development is the secondary one and the least competitive one is the free trade area. To sum up, this research provides a complete picture of industry clusters competition of Taiwanese Businesses in Mainland China. References for future decision and strategy making were revealed.
