Abstract Through presenting the main axes in this study, it is clear that identifying a precise concept of industrial development is related to a wider idea of development. Despite that, the geographical view gives a wider and more comprehensive concept of the industrial development. Moreover, balanced spatial development is closely related to industrial and agricultural development within the space of a geographical region. Industry and agriculture represent productive activities which form the economic basis for a region. Industrial development is the most important tool which is used in developing rural areas. Moreover, industrial development has a great role in developing other activities, especially services in a region. This is done through the capability of industry to provide requirements of other activities and absorb labour force surplus from other economic sectors. In addition, the industry sector increases economic revenues for the region and raises the individuals’ incomes. Strategies of achieving industrial development spatially differ from region to region. This relates to a group of variables, such as political and economic conditions in a region, its development, as well as size of industrial investments. However, accomplishing industrial development spatially requires putting appropriate developmental strategies which conform with a region’s development level and available industrial investments, particularly, in underdeveloped regions with limited financial resources. These regions need to be identified as the most underdeveloped ones in order to attract industrial investments according to the unparalleled spatial development model. What should be taken into consideration is focus on adopting the modern technological development of industry in the field of spatially achieved industrial development through providing appropriate spatial elements. This should be followed by the distribution of modern industrial projects of large production capacity which exploit ideally the available geographical qualifications to attain big economic revenues that supports and develop other economic activities. This is reflected positively in the balanced spatial development of a geographical region

The shift in policy focus from agriculture to rural development enables rural families to diversify their economic activities. Household-based resources, particularly human capital, are essential for capitalizing on newly developed opportunities. Locals with sufficient resources seize possibilities in agriculture and emerging economic sectors such as tourism. A case study (33 in-depth interviews) of Caucasus mountain households in Kazbegi and Mestia municipalities revealed the importance of human capital in attaining other types of resources, such as social and financial capital, and, ultimately, in the process of family-based economic development. Local families are encouraged to engage in and embrace contemporary farming practices in order to determine the most effective sustainable livelihoods. Along with long-established industries, households employ traditional knowledge to enter entrepreneurial tourism activities.

The processes of industrialization, reindustrialization and new industrialization differ not only in the content and mechanisms of implementation, but also in the set of resources required for their application. New industrialization as a process of quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy is based on a complex of resources. These resources are necessary, on the one hand, for the modernization of traditional industries, and on the other hand, for the formation of promising economic activities and industries. Keeping a balance between the resources used to achieve the goals of modernization and innovative development in order to achieve the goals of modernization and innovative development is one of the tasks of a methodological nature and requires the development of appropriate theoretical approaches and models. At the same time, the second most important task is the application of such theories and concepts that will provide a solution to the problems associated with the identification, assessment and description of the parametric characteristics and functions of resources in the system of industrial development of the domestic economy. To solve these problems, the article highlights the features of new industrialization; its differences from such phenomena as industrialization, deindustrialization and reindustrialization. It is substantiated that the use of the resource concept as a methodological basis for new industrialization will make it possible to determine the following: to draw up a typology of the resources of new industrialization; identify criteria for strategic and complementary resources of new industrialization; to identify the subjects of relations in the resource allocation system, as well as their specific functions. The article concludes that modernization processes are provided mainly by massive resources and complementary capabilities and competencies, while the processes of innovative and technological development within the framework of the new industrialization of the economy presuppose the presence of strategic, unique resources and competencies.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the current state of development of Ukraine’s mechanical engineering, looking at export trends of mechanical engineering products across product groups and the main importing countries. The analysis indicates that Ukrainian exports of engineering products have declined significantly in recent years. The low export orientation of machine-building production is mainly due to the low level of innovation investment, as a result of which the technological development of Ukraine’s machine building industry not aligned with the requirements of the global market. The author indicates directions of machine-building production that can make the Ukrainian industry more competitive in the future arguing that thanks to the current production capacity and technological skills, availability of the labour force, research institutions, opportunities for international cooperation, Ukraine is well-positioned to increase the export potential of the mechanical engineering industry.

The Status

It is a general belief in many cultures that the role of women is to build and maintain the homely affairs like task of fetching water, cooking and rearing children. Since the turn of the century, the status of women in India has been changing due to growing industrialization, globalization, and social legislation. Last ten years of Indian economy make it evident that the structure of ownership in different sectors has changed. Many women entered the world of business, of trade commerce and they have become successful entrepreneurs in various business activities. This growth rate of women’s participation in economic activities is much lower than the expected rate. Because in India, there are still many social and cultural restrictions on women.Women entrepreneurship development is the instrument of women empowerment. It is very necessary to give keen attention over the empowerment of women in the rural areas. As in India there are around 7 lakh villages and more than of 70% population live in villages. In rural sector 56% male and 33% of the females are in labour force. About 66% of female population in the rural sector are Idle and unutilized. So rural women’s economic and social development is necessary for overall economic development of society and nation.The present paper addresses challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in rural areas and also explores the opportunities prevailing for rural women entrepreneurs.

First World

In 1868, when the Meiji emperor had his powers ‘restored’ by the political revolution that destroyed the old feudal system of the Tokugawa shoguns, Japan was a predominantly agricultural economy. By the time of the emperor's death in 1912 Japan had achieved significant industrialisation and in 1920, after a further boom during the First World War, she was well advanced along the road to a distinctive type of industrial development based on textile goods for export, heavy industry for domestic civilian and military capital investment, and considerable state intervention in economic and social organisation. In the mid 1880s, about 70% of the gainfully-employed population were engaged in agriculture, producing well over 40% of the gross national product. Farmers derived about three-quarters of their total income from agricultural activities, although agriculture probably absorbed only about 60% of total work hours for the labour force as a whole, with another 2% each for fishing and construction, and a further 16% or so for traditional mining and manufacturing. By 1920, the GDP of the Japanese economy had grown almost three-fold, but the share supplied by agriculture was under 30%, while just over 50% of workers were employed there.1.

Economic diversification is fundamental in driving economic growth in rural areas. Encouragement of and stimulus for the economic diversification in the rural areas allow for the generation of opportunities and new economic chains. Apart from that it will assist in the diversification of the sources of income for the rural population. In Malaysia, apart from emphasising on development policies, economic diversification began to take place in rural areas through positive developments in the economic sectors other than rural agriculture such as tourism as well as small and medium industries. The importance of leveraging on the opportunities and available space has created a need to examine the pattern and defining factors of economic diversity that is taking place in rural areas. The discussion in this article pays attention to the diversification of the economy that is taking place in the rural areas in Sabah by selecting the village of Tambatuon as a study area. In addition to the secondary data, the data is also obtained through observations, involvement in the newly created economic activities and interviews with the village heads and members of the Village Community Management Council (MPKK). The results of the study confirm that economic diversification in rural areas is in place. Most of the new economic activities exist based on the initiative of the villagers who receive support from the Government and non-governmental organisations. Nevertheless, the study also shows that the ongoing economic diversification process is still limited to the horizontal level. Hence, there is considerable potential for economic diversification that can be further expanded to enhance the competitiveness of the rural population in general. In this context, rural residents should be creative by using available local resources from the surroundings to broaden the process of economic diversification. Assistance and external support, especially from the Government, is significant in providing an environment that can stimulate economic growth to ensure that the process of diversifying the economy continues to flourish and becomes sustainable.

The Relationship

Various forms of population mobility are usually studied independently and thus lacking information if there is a connection between migration processes and if so, whether it is positive or negative. Based on the correlation method, this paper presents a study of the relationship between migration and commuting by the example of Vojvodina. Population and economic activities in Vojvodina are unevenly distributed and mainly concentrated to certain areas. Considering that the majority of rural population is no longer engaged in agriculture and that there are not enough local jobs in rural areas, numerous rural residents commute to work to cities. So, the majority of commuting flows in Vojvodina are flows of labour force from rural to urban areas. Results of statistical analysis, based on data about migrations to rural settlements of Vojvodina and data about divergent commuters, have shown a positive correlation between the two types of population mobility for all observed settlements (defined as addition), and that a significant proportion of migration variations can be explained by variations in the scope of commuting flows.

The present paper illustrates the role of industry in economic and social development of Romania, in the context of the propagated effects of the contemporary economic and financial crisis and mission that is in the recovery of gaps in relation to EU countries. The dynamic of the industrial sector after 1989, highlighting the continuing decline in its contribution to the GDP formation and changing industry structure in favor of industries producing consumer goods. The situation has changed, however, after the crisis, the industry producing capital goods coming back in force, and hosting the entire sector. Significant is that the development of the Romanian industry must integrate into a viable and sustainable formula, scientific research and technological development with environmental quality. Moreover, the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of industrial development in Romania should be integrated in the dynamic dimensions of the EU, with all the implications and costs derived from this, in the short term. The plea for industrial development in the post-crisis period is supported by the need to ensure a solid foundation for the development of other economic activities specific to the primary and tertiary sectors.

<strong>English</strong><br />Institutional brittleness could be considered as the major cause of rural economy development failure, and ultimately it is reflected in national economy that have been hit economic crisis. In addition, the economic, financial and industrial designers have less understanding on how important agricultural sector in supporting national economy (agricultural development policy makers tend to follow them), and they also possess less knowledge of how important institutional roles in rural economy development. If only at the initial stage, the rural economic institutional had been firmly established and then established an agricultural endowment richness based national economy development, then not only rural communities will be free of the tempestuous economic crisis (as still takes place up to date) but also the national economy will describe the greatness of rural community’s economy transformation with a good sample of social system for many countries. Rural economy institutional fragility is indicated by ineffective leader factor empowerment (as a progress mover) in rural areas, let values and norms leading for rural economic progress undeveloped, rural economic organization and structure had been let to be flimsy, autonomy aspect had not lifted rural community’s political power in economic activities and ignored rural human resource competence factors.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Kerapuhan kelembagaan bisa dipandang sebagai “biang keladi” kegagalan pengembangan perekonomian pedesaan, yang pada gilirannya hal ini tercermin pada perekonomian nasional yang tidak dapat mengelak dari krisis. Selain para perancang pembangunan di kalangan EKUIN (dan kalangan ahli dan pemegang kebijakan pembangunan pertanian) dinilai kurang paham terhadap pentingnya sektor pertanian dalam menopang perekonomian nasional, juga dinilai kurang paham tentang pentingnya peran kelembagaan dalam pengembangan perekonomian pedesaan. Jika sejak awal kelembagaan perekonomian pedesaan dibangun secara mantap dan kekayaan alam pertanian dijadikan basis pengembangan perekonomian nasional, maka bukan saja masyarakat pedesaan akan terbebas dari krisis ekonomi yang gawat (seperti yang terjadi hingga saat ini), melainkan juga perekonomian nasional kita akan dapat mengambarkan kehebatan transformasi perekonomian masyarakat pedesaan yang dihiasi tatanan sosial yang patut dicontoh masyarakat di banyak negara. Kerapuhan kelembagaan perekonomian pedesaan ditunjukkan oleh tidak efektifnya pemberdayaan faktor kepemimpinan (sebagai penggerak kemajuan) di pedesaan, tidak terbangunnya tata nilai yang menggerakkan kemajuan ekonomi (pertanian di) pedesaan, struktur dan keorganisasian ekonomi pedesaan yang dibiarkan rapuh, otonomi yang tidak mengangkat kedaulatan (politik) masyarakat pedesaan dalam kegiatan ekonomi serta dibiarkannya faktor kompetensi sumberdaya manusia pedesaan terbengkalai.

European Migration

The following article is based on my fieldwork in Morocco and represents anthropological data collected amongst undocumented sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco. They want to enter Europe in search for a better life for themselves and to provide financial support for their families. Due to heavy border security control and repression, they find themselves trapped at the gates of Europe, where they are trying to survive by engaging in various economic activities in the informal sector. The article begins with an overview of the European migration politics in Africa and the geopolitical and historical context of Morocco, in light of the externalization of European border control. I will then analyze the various economic sectors, in which sub-Saharan migrations are active, as well as smuggling networks, informal camps and remittances, on which they largely depend due to the exclusion from the national job market.
