Main Factors

The article addresses the role of global cities in the inflow of foreign direct investment and labour migrants to Europe. Despite the concept of global cities being criticized due to its “west-centricity” it remains widely accepted interpretation of modern urban developments. The authors explore main factors attracting these economic resources to major cities, and identify how the comparative specifics of European global cities affect the usage of these resources. Different approaches to the interaction with labour migrants and FDI lead to diverse results cementing unique roles of global cities in their own countries. Crossexamination of causes, structures and effects of the forementioned factors constitutes the scientific and practical significance of the article. Based on the world‟s leading rankings of global cities the study reveals how each city advances socio-economic strategies in order to maintain their significant roles in inflow of FDI and labour migrants. In order to evaluate the significance of each city we distinguish the most developed and profitable sectors of economy. European urban agglomerations seek to attract highly qualified labour force that is able to contribute to their development. The outcomes of the research is useful for analysis the development of global cities in Russia.

Despite the proliferation of studies concerned with the unemployment problem and the mechanics of welfare provision between the world wars, most historians have focused either on the difficulties facing manual workers or on the role of state services in the provision of benefits. This emphasis is not surprising given the persistence of a high level of manual unemployment in this period, which led in turn to an unprecedented demand for maintenance and a huge increase in public expenditure on unemployment relief. However, the emphasis upon manual workers has led to an unfortunate neglect of other sections of the labour-force, while the concern with the evolution of state services has diverted attention from the continuing importance of voluntary agencies in the field of welfare provision.

AbstractWhy did China grow so fast in the past four decades? What were the main factors? Important ones were: attitude of government; opening to the world; role of culture; exploitation of technological gap; role of foreign trained students; and role of government in the creation of modern infrastructure. These factors are likely to play a much smaller role in the future while several negative factors –populism, trade wars, environmental obstacles, aging of the population, authoritarianism and others are likely to lead to significantly lower growth rates.

Este artigo trata das novas estratégias de desenvolvimento econômico para as cidades no contexto da reestruturação produtiva. Ele enfoca o papel atribuído às cidades como centros de gestão dos fluxos de capitais, o qual permite uma articulação entre o local e o global sem a intermediação das esferas regional e nacional. Primeiramente, apresenta as contribuições teóricas no Terceiro Mundo que mais têm influenciado o debate urbano sobre a emergência de uma economia de fluxos, cuja organização em rede impõe as cidades como nós de conexão. Em seguida, analisa a construção paradigmática das global cities, com base na generalização de alguns pressupostos teóricos e de tendências empiricamente observadas. Finalmente, examina as estratégias que estão sendo difundidas por consultores internacionais e relacionadas à vocação inexorável das cidades para o terciário avançado.Palavras-chave: desenvolvimento local; gestão urbana; globalização; cidades mundiais. " The Paradigm of 'Global Cities' in Local Development Strategies" Abstract: This article discusses the new development economic strategies for cities in the productive restructuration context. It focuses the role of the great cities like management centers of the capital fluxes which allows an articulation between the local and the global spaces without the mediation of the regional and national spheres. At first it introduces some theoretical contributions about the emergence of an flux economy, which net organization format requires that the cities turn themselves connection points, as a strong influence in Third World urban debate. Afterwards it analyses the paradigmathical arrangement of the "global cities" with the support of general concepts and empirical dates. At last but not least, the paper also argues the supposed natural vocation of the cities nowadays for the advanced Tertiary, as show the several strategies diffused and recommended by international experts.

The literature on cities and international relations (IR), or “global urban politics,” as it is sometimes termed, is a diverse stream of social science research that has developed in response to major demographic and economic shifts that began in second half of the 20th century and continue to today. During this time the world has witnessed dramatic globalization and urbanization, centralizing populations in cities. It is predicted that by 2050 close to 70 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas, meaning that 21st-century challenges will be largely urban in nature. Across areas such as migration, health, environmental sustainability, and economic development, citizens and city governments are constantly exposed, and need to respond to, the impacts of globalization on cities. At the international level, multilateral organizations have recognized this shift and are increasingly involving cities, or networks of cities, as interlocutors in global forums. IR has been slow to acknowledge the increasing importance of cities in international affairs, as it conflicts with the state-centric paradigm of mainstream theory. Most early scholarship on cities and globalization came from urbanists and political economists, who studied the development of “global cities” that were acting as the critical nodes in the architecture of the world economy. This literature predominately identified cities as the sites of global processes, with limited capacity to influence or shape them. It also offered a narrow, economistic conception of cities that vastly prioritized the experiences of wealthy cities in the Global North. More recently, scholars have begun to study and theorize the role of cities as actors in global affairs, particularly through forms of networked governance and involvement in key multilateral discussions. This bibliography tracks the evolution of this research agenda from its conception to the present day. It begins with a limited background in the study of urban politics, providing a crucial framework for understanding how the diverse streams of research developed. It then details the continuing work on “global cities,” which recognized the increasing importance of cities to international affairs in the late 20th century, although largely defined in narrow economic terms. What follows is a broader theorization of the role of cities in global governance, which begins to afford some agency to cities to shape international affairs across a range of policy areas and brings them directly into the purview of IR. While most of this literature has still been driven by, and focused on, cities of the Global North, there have been efforts to broaden the geographic focus and recognize the way globalization and urbanization have been experienced differently in cities across the globe. Finally, the bibliography draws on a recent literature exploring some of the political and legal implications of this shift to the “urban century.”

Recreational Resources

The purpose of the study is to consider the features of tourist and recreational resources of Japan and to identify those types of tourism that are most developed on their basis. Method. The study was conducted in three stages: 1) preparation of the study (problem statement); 2) the stage of accumulation of scientific information: bibliographic search of scientific information, study of documents, main sources of the topic, compiling a review of the literature, the choice of aspects of research; 3) information processing (methods: comparative, statistical, scientific systematization); 4) analysis of the received information (interpretation of results, formulation of the general conclusions). Results. Tourist activity, as the main form of recreation, belongs to the types of social practice with a pronounced resource orientation. It is determined that tourist resources include everything that can be used to meet the needs of tourists. Three main groups of tourist and recreational resources of Japan are identified and analyzed: natural-recreational, cultural-historical and socio-economic resources. Within the group of natural and recreational resources, the geographical location, relief, climate, water, forest, flora and fauna resources and objects of the nature reserve fund are characterized. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the uniqueness of natural and recreational resources is due to the insularity of the country. Based on the analysis of cultural and historical resources, it was found that although Japan accepts Western standards of living, as a cultural region, it continues to be a unique and inimitable phenomenon. The high socio-economic standard of living has made the Japanese one of the most traveling nations in the world. The main socio-economic resources that contribute to the development of tourism in Japan – the level of socio-economic development of the country, demographic and infrastructural resources. It is determined that Japan has unique tourist and recreational resources that determine the specifics of its tourism product. She skillfully attracts them to improve the country's image in the world tourism market. It was found that the country attracts a large number of tourists with exotic nature, cultural monuments and a high level of infrastructure development, especially transport accessibility. It is determined that taking into account the trends of world tourism and the uniqueness of available tourist and recreational resources in Japan, the following types of tourism have developed: health, medical, environmental, skiing, beach, cultural and educational and business. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the modern analysis of the peculiarities of the tourist potential of Japan and the characteristics of the predominant types of tourism. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the results of the article, both by travel agencies to form a tourism product and by potential tourists to understand the specifics of recreation in the country, as well as for educational purposes.

Relational Economic Geography

The rapid increase of global cities in the 1990s would count now to reach more than 100 cities. Many of these global cities are trying to influence the global economy by differentiated or similar advanced instruments. The capacities and the details of these instruments have not been scientifically investigated in detail, despite the delicate role of the global cities makers and their capacity to influence the socio-economies as powerful economic actors. These intermediary economic actors are very influential in the making and un-making global cities. The “Global City Makers” economic actors and practices in the world city network by Hoyler et. al. (2018) is been reviewed from this perspective mainly. As this book help to identify the influence of certain economic planning on the socio-economic fate of millions of peoples today. Engaging critically and constructively with global urban studies from a relational economic geography perspective, the book outlines a renewed agenda for global cities research.

The place of brand in the system of world economic geopolitics is determined. The causal chain of influence of branding on the formation of the world geoeconomy is traced. The brand is defined as a factor in shaping the system of world economic geopolitics. The scheme of connections between the elements of the system of world economic geopolitics is offered. The time coordinates of the brand functioning in the context of the evolution of the «world order» are determined. The objective strengthening of the influence of branding in the conditions of geophilosophy is substantiated. It is established that the brand provides effective promotion of countries in the world geospace and determines their role in the implementation of world geopolitics and «world order». The object of research is the branding as a factor in shaping the system of world economic geopolitics. The subject of the study is the brand as a tool for managing the economic development of the country. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the place of the brand as a tool for managing the economic development of the country in the system of world economic geopolitics. To achieve this goal were used: system-parametric approach – to the scientific knowledge of brand and geopolitics, which allowed to reveal certain links between these concepts; systematic analysis of the evolution of the «world order», the system of economic geopolitics and branding, which contributed to the definition of the brand as a factor in the formation of the system of economic geopolitics; managerial approach – to the process of brand management, the formation of a «world order», controlling the fair process of distribution of the country's wealth among different segments of the population. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of their use to manage the development of branding in Ukraine, which will have positive consequences for changing the role of the country in the world economic geopolitics: from a raw material appendage to an active economic and political actor. Conclusions. The brand, being the bearer of the spiritual component, in the context of the economic factor of formation of both domestic and foreign policy of the country, transmits to the external environment the content of the spiritual sphere of society. Depending on the political course, national interests, economic potential and geographical opportunities, the role of the country in the geopolitical space is formed: subordinate, influential, strategic, leading.

Musically-acoustic thesaurus is a complex structure which composition of multiple parts is effectuated by multiple channels of receiving information from the outside and ways of manipulation with it. The manipulation is turning of separate facts into systematic knowledge stored in memory. Musically-acoustic thesaurus of collective and individual consists of two groups with duplex connection which are the knowledge of the world as a sonic phenomenon and of human auditory activity and the experience of absorbing the information received, principles of manipulation with it. They fulfill inherent inclination of individual towards usage of auditory images as a requirement for appearance of musical ones. All the sonorities are bracketed in two groups: extra-musical and musical itself. The latter group consists of musical units of acoustically-sonic environment, having utility, practical significance for a person, allowing orientation in given spacetime. At the same time, they are potentially opened to emotional experiences and aesthetic approach towards them. Acoustically-sonic environment possesses basic traits of organization, being reflected in mind by such characteristics as cyclicity, variability, combinationalism, montage structure, simultaneity, interdependency of shape and background.
