Abstract
This essay briefly reviews the development and existence of an emerging culture of systemic disparity between China's regions and people. The essay discusses that despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region.

"Regional Development and Inequity in Contemporary China STATEMENT OF ARGUMENT: Despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region. ESSAY: Barry Naughton argues that despite the popular opinion that suggests that region disparities in China are increasing, the empirical facts indicate that overall, change in rank of GDP is too diverse to determine this one way or another. In contrast to this opinion, other scholars state that regional disparities are real and in fact planned."

Abstract
This paper looks at the different economic and political development histories of Thailand, Ghana, and Chile. It then compares and contrasts these histories by applying different economic and political development theories to each country. The paper concludes with the finding that each of the countries mentioned has achieved great developmental progress, but they all have a long ways to ago in terms of freedom for their people and their social institutions.
From the Paper
"How to best assist developing countries has been a political an economic issue ever since the end of colonization. Three developing areas of particular interest are Thailand, Ghana, and Chile. They each have very different development trajectories, and have gone about developing in very diverse ways. Thailand has actually followed the modernization theory of development, and just needs to continue working on social issues. Ghana in more in line with dependency theory due to its colonial past and has a lot of work to do in the political, economic, and cultural arenas. Chile followed dependency up to a point, when Pinochet took over and led the economy into modernization, leaving much to be desired in the social areas."

"Analytical Comparison of China's Newest Economic Regions:
Special Economic Zones, Open Cities, and Open Coastal Areas
Introduction
In 1978, the People's Republic of China took the first steps on a long path that would switch the world's largest nation operating under a Communist system of government to the world's largest nation attempting to operate as a new economic concept -- a socialist marketing economy. Since then, China's economy has truly modernized and embraced many of the concepts of economic geography, including creating a societal infrastructure that accepts capitalism. The reform process has affected all sectors of the economy (Roberts & Clifford, 1997, 54).
Looking back at the changes occurring over the last 17 years ..."

"U.S. Response to Chinese Rivalry in Asia-Pacific Region
Background
With the end of the Cold War, the United States lost its primary rival for influence in the world: the Soviet Union. Moreover, the importance of Europe to the United States declined in importance in relation to that of the Asia-Pacific Region. U.S. trade with Asian nations now exceeds that with European nations and this disparity will continue to grow. Japan now has the second largest economy in the world (after that of the United States) and China's economy is projected to be the third largest within twenty years. This means that the country exercising the most influence in this region will probably also be the most influential nation in the world.
Without a doubt, China represents the greatest contender for the ..."

Tourism in Regional Australia, 2001.
The benefits of tourism development to regional Australia.
1,530 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a general analysis of the impact tourism development has on regional areas, both positive and negative. It uses regional Australia as an example to analyze the situation in more detail. It explains positive ecnomic developments but occasional negative social effects.
From the Paper
"In recent decades, regional Australia has unquestionably been suffering from a downturn in both population and facilities (Hall, 1998, p 272). Whilst the reasons for this are many and varied, they are mostly outside the scope of this essay and thus will not be discussed here. However, it is the resultant state of this situation which highlights the benefits of tourism development to regional Australia. An increase in the urbanisation of Western society, Australia included, is responsible for the shrinkage of the agrarian society and consequent downturn in the fortunes of regional areas (Sharpley, 1999, p 285). Thus tourism development in regional Australia stimulates regional development as it promotes economic growth and employment generation. However, whilst this is the case, there are also factors that are preventing the occurrence of the tourism development of regional Australia. I will firstly discuss the benefits of regional tourism development in greater detail before proceeding with the discussion of the preventative factors."

Infill Development and Transportation, 2007.
This paper explores the impact of infill development on urban and regional transportation networks.
2,415 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 20 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that urban infill frequently requires after-the-fact adjustments to connect new development with existing transportation networks. The paper discusses the debates regarding whether to infill or not. The paper shows how urban infill development affects transportation networks in as many different ways as it is possible to re-develop older urban areas and reveals that perhaps the strongest argument in favor of urban infill is an ecological one. The paper concludes that urban infill can positively affect transportation networks only if it is conducted in such a way that peoples lifestyles are modified from the American suburban "ideal."
Outline:
Introduction
Main Themes and Debates
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Successful urban regions depend on proper land use and the mutual accessibility of local communities and resources. Efficient transportation networks provide interconnectivity. Varied styles of development meet different needs and demand different transport solutions. Suburban tract houses and corporate office parks require methods of travel that can cover fairly large distances in short periods of time. High density urban residential and commercial districts necessitate systems that meet both local and regional needs, offering a mix of low-speed general access, and high-speed restricted access routes. In all areas, transportation can be either private or public. Networks that depend on private vehicles require miles of superhighways and elaborate webs of expensive-to-maintain local streets."

Abstract
This paper relates that, as this Flying Geese pattern of development progresses, countries in the Asian region become more and more integrated and interdependent. The author states that the Flying Geese model describes how industry passes through five stages: Introduction, import substitution, export, mature and reverse-import stages. The paper concludes that the significance of Flying Geese model in East Asia?s economic development is declining in recent time as high technology is introduced and globalization takes place. Tables.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When reaching export stage, the growth of domestic demand will decline. Exports of the product have begun to increase and imports decline. The strong exports enable the country to import capital goods for continued expansion of production. Inward FDI becomes significant as the same industry in the advanced countries has lost its comparative advantage and has to relocate to developing countries. As the industry gets into its mature stage, production slows down due to increasing costs and intensified competition from late-starting countries."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper examines the published archaeological evidence and research that proves humans lived in Africa more than 3 million years ago. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the first humans in prehistoric Africa to the grassland regions in the east. The writer delves into the prehistoric cultures of Africa while also discussing the cultural and linguistic evidence that shows that certain societies such as the Bantus and Zulus came from the north and migrated southwestward to set up their own communities. This paper explores the development that occurred during the late Stone Age era which brought about additional settled societies throughout the continent. This paper analyzes the manner in which prehistoric cultures and societies functioned in Africa. The writer stresses that during the evolution of man evidence of specialized tools were found to have been created to cope with a new range of environments and circumstances which are clearly detailed in this paper. The writer also examines how the issue of gender was viewed during the prehistoric era. The writer contends it was likely that the traditional division of labor was evident during this particular era in which men hunted while women defended the camp and cared for the family.

From the Paper
"Part of the reasons, for some of the methods adopted, were geographic in origin. At the same time, the country is now broken up in 50 different countries and there is a wide difference in sizes among them, both in terms of area as also in terms of population. At the same time, the continent is huge enough to contain United States, China, India and Argentina together. The diversity and difference from other continents is sustained by the fact that it is bisected by the equator. There are many different types of lands, but the greatest portion of it is either desert or open plains. The continent also has snow capped mountains in Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro. The continent also has four different river systems of the Nile, Niger, Congo or Zaire and Zambezi. As was the situation in other world regions, human development in Africa also first took place in areas where there was good availability of natural resources in the form of soils and required water supply."

Abstract
This paper discusses the development of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) as an agreement that would alter global politics and economics. The paper discusses the technological developments that we are seeing in Asia and throughout the world and their impact. It suggests how to move the Asian Pacific region toward a future where its economic development may be optimized by a general improvement of political, social and economic conditions within its member nations.
From the Paper
"Even as western counterparts enjoy a body of working technology professionals which has helped such nations as the U.S. and Britain to retain a dominance in the trade of IT developments, new achievements in computing technology and developments in the context of recreational and industrial electronics, the competitive advantages of pricing and of newly liberalizing economic operation incentives have made the developing and previously impoverished nations of the Pacific Rim increasingly influential on the stage of economic globalization. Asia-Pacific leaders "set the goals of reaching free trade and investment by 2010 for developed economies, and 2020 for developing economies." (Fleischer, 1) It remains the hope of the organization that free trade and shared technological development will work hand-in-hand to produce an economically flourishing Pacific Rim in a new age of information and globalization."

Abstract
This paper investigates the connection between the types or forms of government and their performance in terms of the human development index (HDI), which is a more reliable measurement of development as a referent of its effect and contribution to the human person. The author argues that democratic forms of government are better able to provide for the advancement of human development because they allow for more meaningful public participation. The paper indicates that more than 60% of all dominant-assembly-oriented types (mostly referred to as parliamentary systems of government) and 20% of accountable-executive-oriented (mostly referred to as presidential systems) fall within categories regarded as "high human development" and roughly 24 percent of the former and 57% of the latter countries are within the "medium human development" category.

From the Paper
"There are governments as well, which may have plurality in terms of decision-making but it is dispersed among a few like-minded individuals advancing a common cause and not allowing for existence of competing groups or parties. This characterizes the third type of governmental system which still greatly persists in the present era--the ruling-party oriented type (Type 3). Theocratic governments are sub-classified under this since theocratic governments whether multi-party or not, allow a rather very little room for ideological dissent and since their main goals are to conservatively advance a particular religion and way of life and sometimes at the expense of political rights and civil liberties."

Canadian Maritime Development, 2007.
An examination of poor economic development in the Canadian maritimes.

Abstract
This paper examines the Canadian maritime region that has traditionally lagged that of other regions and provinces within Canada, and the reasons for this relative backwardness. The paper explains that on the one hand the regions have relatively easy access to coastal and internal waterways while, on the other hand, the area's inaccessibility and harsh climate makes it somewhat problematic to develop. The paper points out that it is the clear absence of a cohesive economic development plan for the region that is likely the real culprit in the maritime's inability to achieve economic parity with the rest of Canada during the important phase of Canada's overall economic expansion. The paper further explains that the lack of such a strategy allowed the transportation routes to become underutilized or misappropriated and the industrial diversity in the region to become unsustainable through a lack of diversity. In conclusion, the paper shows that without major population centers and the industrial base that typically accompanies them, the maritimes have been historically challenged as an economic unit, and until this industrial and economic diversity is solved the region will continue to be dependent on the central government and will continue to lack the population base to support an expanding economy.
From the Paper
"Canada's various regions and provinces have all developed in a variety of fashions and according to different economic imperatives which has led to the divergent opinions regarding its industrial development. Because most of the other provincial areas are more easily traversed that the Maritime area, they have been more easily exploited, in an economic sense, that the Maritime region. This economic exploitation of some of the other regions within Canada has been described in the following manner."

From the Paper
"In 1997, Thailand floated the baht, marking the beginning of a currency crisis that would eventually spread to other parts of Asia and to emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia. In Asia, the outflow of investment was massive. The five hardest hit economies -- South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines -- saw net capital flows reverse by more than $100 billion in a year. All over Asia, companies went bankrupt, banks loans soured and the number of property repossessions skyrocketed and millions of people lost their jobs. The situation, named the "Asian flu" quickly became the focal point of numerous conferences, editorials and a small library of books as economists and academics debated the causes and the cures."
