  • Peripherization of China's International Status in Silk Industry at Modern Times——An Analysis Based on the World-system's "Center-Periphery" Relationship
    Science of Sericulture, 2012
    Co-Authors: Xiang Zhong
    Abstract:

    The present study employed the World-system's "Center Periphery" Theory of Wallerstein to analyze signs and reasons of China's international status in silk industry going from center to Periphery at modern times(1840~1919) so as to provide new thoughts for future development of China's silk industry.Before modern times,China was independent of the capitalist world system,and China's silk industry was independent of the capitalist world system,too.China played an important role in silk industry of the word at that time.After China was brought into the world system and was peripherized at modern times,China's silk industry was peripherized as well,becoming center nations' raw material producer of silk fabrics and sales destination of finished products.The foreign trade rights and product pricing of silk industry were manipulated by center nations,and the development of sericultural production technology was also confined.The reason is attributable to restrains under the world-system's "center-Periphery" Relationship.Till today,China's silk industry is still striving to go back to the center.The only way to achieve success is to continuously carry out scientific and technological innovation,that is,to promote development of silk industry with the help of science and technology.

  • Towards A Reformulation Of Core/Periphery Relationship: A Critical Reappraisal Of The Trimodality Of The Capitalist World-Economy In The Early 21st Century
    Perspectives on Global Development and Technology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Kwangkun Lee
    Abstract:

    The trimodal framework of core-semiPeriphery-Periphery has been challenged by globalization theorists. This chapter briefly surveys recent criticisms of Wallerstein's trimodal formulation and revisits the trimodality models of the world-systems perspective. It argues that there is no single trimodality model as assumed by critics and some proponents, and presents three different models of the trimodality. The chapter examines how these models are adopted by quantitative analyses on global inequality. It refutes both the deterritorialization approach and the basic tenet of the trimodality of existing world-systems perspective. Against the deterritorialization approach the chapter argues that between-country inequality is more important than within country inequality in explaining global inequalities. Against the traditional world-systems perspective, it argues that semiPeriphery may not be a constant figure of the capitalist world-economy. Keywords:capitalist world-economy; deterritorialization; global inequality; globalization; trimodality model; Wallerstein's trimodal

  • Networks, contact zones and the trans-local dimensions of the imperial Mediterranean
    Middle East : Topics & Arguments, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gavin Murray-miller
    Abstract:

    Recent histories of the Mediterranean have drawn attention to the region’s internal diversity and provided a basis for considering the sea and its surrounding coastal areas as a place of trans-national entanglements. While this space was a contact zone between cultures, the dynamics and practices of Mediterranean imperialism frequently extended beyond a strict colonizer-colonized Relationship. By examining networks forged through emigre communities, journalism, religion and finances, we can rethink concepts of the contact zone within a trans-imperial context. Assessing forms of engagement across and between imperial frontiers allows us to question the familiar metropole- Periphery Relationship and examine the connective webs that linked nodal cities and multiple peripheries spanning Europe, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

  • EMPIRE AND TRANS-IMPERIAL SUBJECTS IN THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY MUSLIM MEDITERRANEAN
    The Historical Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gavin Murray-miller
    Abstract:

    AbstractDuring the nineteenth century, the Muslim Mediterranean became a locus of competing imperial projects led by the Ottomans and European powers. This article examines how the migration of people and ideas across North Africa and Asia complicated processes of imperial consolidation and exposed the ways in which North Africa, Europe, and Asia were connected through trans-imperial influences that often undermined the jurisdictional sovereignty of imperial states. It demonstrates that cross-border migrations and cultural transfers both frustrated and abetted imperial projects while allowing for the imagining of new types of solidarities that transcended national and imperial categorizations. In analysing these factors, this article argues for a rethinking of the metropole–Periphery Relationship by highlighting the important role print and trans-imperial networks played in shaping the Mediterranean region.

  • The measurement of international scientific collaboration
    Scientometrics, 1993
    Co-Authors: Terttu Luukkonen, R. J. W. Tijssen, O. Persson, G. Sivertsen
    Abstract:

    A growing science policy interest in international scientific collaboration has brought about a multitude of studies which attempt to measure the extent of international scientific collaboration between countries and to explore intercountry collaborative networks. This paper attempts to clarify the methodology that is being used or can be used for this purpose and discusses the adequacy of the methods. The paper concludes that, in an analysis of collaborative links, it is essential to use both absolute and relative measures. The latter normalize differences in country size. Each yields a different type of information. Absolute measures yield an answer to questions such as which countries are central in the international network of science, whether collaborative links reveal a centre — Periphery Relationship, and which countries are the most important collaborative partners of another country. Relative measures provide answers to questions of the intensity of collaborative links.

  • Evolution and Mechanism of the “Core–Periphery” Relationship: Micro-Evidence from Cross-Regional Industrial Production Organization in a Fast-Developing Region in China
    Sustainability, 2019
    Co-Authors: Lixia Jin, Changjian Wang, Hongou Zhang, Yuling Zhang
    Abstract:

    The location selection mechanism and effect of industrial transfer have been widely considered in academia, but the influence of institutional factors on cross-regional industrial transfer and regional differences still need further investigation. Based on theories of economic geography as well as new economic geography (NEG) and its’ institutional transformation, this paper studies the form, mechanism, and effect of the “core–Periphery” regional Relationship between the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and non-Pearl River Delta (NPRD) areas in Guangdong Province from the micro perspective of industrial spatial organization. Based on a case study on the change of the cross-regional production spatial organization of ceramics enterprises between Foshan and Qingyuan, it is found that after three rounds of spatial reorganization, the production spatial organization of Foshan’s and Qingyuan’s ceramics industries has changed significantly, forming a multifactory, multilocation production spatial structure and regional production network, which further drives to form the regional functional division of “core–Periphery”. Institution factors, especially environmental regulation and industrial transfer institutional arrangements, have become an important driving force for the current industrial transfer, but its impact on regional relations is still not a decisive factor. The path locking of the “core–Periphery” mode has not been fundamentally broken through. Although the form of spatial inequality has greatly changed, in fact, it produces a new form of inequality. The economic, geographical, and political theoretical framework from the micro-perspective of enterprises will provide a possible theoretical explanation for the phenomenon of “pollution moving to the West, high-tech industry moving to the East, industrial output gathering to the East” in China.
