商品描述

This edited book brings together in one place new studies of rural-urban interactions and their implications for regional growth and development in different regions within Asia. Specifically, the individual chapters in the book shed light on the different kinds of rural-urban interactions that we witness in Asian regions, particularly those that are based on migration, poverty, inequality, education, economic dependence, and the flow of goods and services. The book departs from the existing literature in three ways. First, it explicitly recognizes that different kinds of rural-urban interactions have dissimilar impacts on the lives and hence on the welfare of the residents of rural and urban regions. Second, the book emphasizes the varied spatial and temporal dimensions of the interactions and the ways in which these dimensions influence rural and urban societies. Third, this book demonstrates the ways in which an understanding of the preceding two points contributes to our knowledge about economic growth and development. Because Asia is the fastest-growing and most dynamic continent in the world today, the research delineated in the individual chapters of the book provides practical guidance concerning two salient questions. First, how do we effectively address the economic development challenges stemming from the interactions between alternate rural and urban regions within Asia? Second, how do we ensure that the policies we design to address these challenges give rise to broad-based economic growth and development that is sustainable?

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯書籍將有關農村與城市互動的新研究集中在一起，探討其對亞洲不同地區區域增長與發展的影響。具體而言，書中的各章節闡明了我們在亞洲地區所見的不同類型的農村-城市互動，特別是那些基於移民、貧困、不平等、教育、經濟依賴以及商品和服務流通的互動。這本書在三個方面與現有文獻有所不同。首先，它明確承認不同類型的農村-城市互動對農村和城市地區居民的生活及其福利有著不同的影響。其次，這本書強調了互動的多樣空間和時間維度，以及這些維度如何影響農村和城市社會。第三，本書展示了理解前兩點如何有助於我們對經濟增長和發展的認識。由於亞洲是當今世界上增長最快、最具活力的洲，書中各章節所闡述的研究為解決兩個重要問題提供了實用指導。首先，我們如何有效應對源自亞洲不同農村和城市地區之間互動的經濟發展挑戰？其次，我們如何確保我們設計的政策能夠應對這些挑戰，並促進可持續的廣泛經濟增長和發展？
