The study of tendencies in economic and environmental shrinkage is tied to the expressions of substantive changes in complexity of determinant contexts of internal and migration flows. This chapter answers the challenges posed by economic tendencies, using the theories and models and does not fall victim to simplistic projections and conjectures and theories based more in speculation than in fact. The method used is the critical analysis of economic, social, and political tendencies in relation to the situation of shrinking cities in Mexico. The results of this analysis led to the finding that the shrinkage process in Mexico, as a developing economy, does not follow the same patterns of well-developed countries, and an increase in shrinking cities has occurred since the middle of the 1950s and the use of incentives in some localities to attract economic growth have had modest success in turning around the shrinking process.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the empirical-theoretical approaches to shrinking cities in Mexico. The study of tendencies in economic and environmental shrinkage is tied to the expressions of substantive changes in the complexity of determinant contexts of internal and migration flows. The analysis intents to answer the challenges posed by current economic and demographic tendencies, using theories and models and trying not to fall down victim of simplistic projections and conjectures and theories based more in speculations rather than on facts. The method used is the critical analysis of economic, social and political tendencies around the phenomenon of shrinking cities in México. The results of this analysis lead us to the conclusion that the shrinkage process in México, as a developing and emerging economy does not follow the same patterns as in well developed countries, where an increase in shrinking cities has been observed since the middle of the 1950s and the use of incentives in some localities to attract economic growth have had rather modest success in turning around the shrinking process. Further research on shrinking cities should be done in México. Finally, this paper analyzes some of the problems which are important for setting the agenda for future research in Mexico.

The objective of the chapter is to present a brief review of E-banking services especially in the developing economies, highlighting the major challenges of E-banking with a guideline or recommendations to address those challenges. Technology has introduced new ways of delivering banking to the customer. Developed countries (DC) customers of the E-Banking services are fully aware of the services but the customer’s in the developing economies still lag behind. It is clearly seen that delivery channels are lacking in meeting the demands of the customer by not making them aware of e-banking and using obsolete or not too up-to-date technology. I would thus conclude that banks in the developing countries should drown themselves in all the intricacies regarding e-banking to determine ways that will affect the customers in and use it to their maximum benefit. The other issue is that there are very few or no banking facilities in the rural areas and furthermore, access to the internet is close to impossible in these areas therefore awareness and utilization of these services is very little or none at all. At last but not the least is that Banks must adapt to the electronics age. Consumers demand it. Economics drives it. Banks must exploit it.

The Third World

China shares with the developing countries of the third world the broad objective of economic growth, starting from a condition the Chinese themselves describe as “poor and blank” relative to the material resources of the developed countries. Yet “self-reliance” has been the keynote of Chinese policies for ten years, and the Chinese now urge the rest of the third world countries to adopt the same principle for their own development. In broad terms, “development” refers to the improvement of a society's material welfare, resulting from economic growth and from appropriate measures of income distribution. In Chinese and, increasingly, in general usage, such economic growth is identified with the use of production processes and the production of goods new to the developing economy. “Self-reliance” does not necessarily preclude transfer of foreign technologies into the developing country, but specifies technological change which occurs in response to demands arising within the developing economy itself, rather than imposed on it from outside. In any country, demand for technological change and distribution of the fruits of technological advance are dependent on its political and social structure, as well as on economic factors, and on the country's international economic and political bargaining power. China, whose leaders have a particular perception of the implications of these relationships for their development objectives, is an especially significant “case study” of the use of science and technology for national development.

Topicality. Formation and development of regional service cooperatives in the grain market is an important tool for ensuring the access of individual farms to market infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of their activities by increasing added value in the cooperative logistics chain, overcoming structural imbalances in the development of the grain market. At the same time, the formation of regional grain cooperatives is a mechanism for self-organization of the rural population, increasing their employment and welfare. The practice of developed countries testifies to the possibility of regional servicing cooperatives performing the functions of the poles of growth of the regional economy, which actualizes science and applied research in this direction, taking into account Ukrainian realities and the requirements of the dynamic market. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to justify the directions and forms of integration development of the regional servicing cooperatives of the grain market as the poles of economic growth in the region. During the study, the following methods have been used: monographic, dialectical, theoretical generalization and comparison, graphical, structural-logical method. Research results. Based on the integration approach the authors developed a transformed model of the region's economic growth pole, the core of which is the network of regional servicing cooperatives in the grain market. It has been proved that the grain multifunctional cooperatives focused on the sustainable development of rural areas are able to produce a powerful integration impetus for the growth of the region's economy. The conceptual approach to the integration interaction of regional service cooperatives and stakeholders in the region has been developed. Three levels of interaction (low, medium, high) have been distinguished based on the complexity of integration mechanisms from contracting to subjective integration and public-private partnership, which involve the pooling of assets of participants. The key points of coordination of economic interests of cooperatives and stakeholders in the region have been substantiated, the conclusion has been made on the need for active participation of state institutions and rural communities in support of grain co-operation. The potential role of the regional servicing cooperatives of the grain market in the inclusive development of the regions has been determined. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the research is to develop the theory of the poles of growth of the regional economy by introducing into its structure the integration component and the core of the pole - a network of regional grain cooperatives, as well as developing a conceptual approach to the formation of the integration links of service cooperatives in the grain market with stakeholders of the region. The results obtained by the authors of the study can be used by the state authorities as a basis for the development of strategies for regional and integration development. Methodological approaches to assessing the integration impact of regional servicing cooperatives in the grain market on the region's economy, development of the theory of inclusive growth of the region on the basis of encouraging the establishment of village-saving type organizations, including cooperatives, constitute prospects for further research in this direction.

Southern European Countries

This chapter examines the main migration flows concerning the countries of southern Europe; those are a) the immigration from developed countries b) the so-called ‘new emigration’, and c) the persistent flow of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. They receive a very different treatment in local political debates, which are dominated by the concern for ‘the crisis,’ (i. e., the whole range of economic, social, and political changes arising from neoliberal globalization). While discussing the current literature on these topics, the chapter shows how these flows are politically constructed for the purposes of the establishment. At the same time, the chapter highlights the relationships between these trends and the general changes affecting southern European countries.

The prospects for the dynamics of the number of developed countries, the possible extent of its decline, the ability to compensate for a part of the natural population decline due to the attraction of migration, and various risks associated with increasing migration flows are the subject of active discussion in the scientific community. However, most of the estimates in this discussion are based on the “average” population projections developed by the UN. However, this scenario is calculated based on a fixed and fairly small set of hypotheses and patterns. In the present work, forecast scenarios of the demographic dynamics of developed countries are calculated and analyzed in connection with the dynamics of the birth rate of these countries, as well as the dynamics of migration flows. The main goal of the work is to identify for each country which combination of fertility dynamics and migration dynamics allows it to avoid population decline (and possibly even achieve an increase in population), and which make population decline inevitable.

Specific Country

According to Lee (1966), the number of immigrants in a specific country is positively related with the level of the corresponding diversity of areas and people. Negative economic conditions in origin countries lead to the increase of migration flows; as a consequence, we find high immigrant volumes in wealthier countries and a significant level of mobility in least developed countries. Every stream provokes a counterstream: a relevant part of immigrants return to their home country, due to possible future economic recessions or to the learning or developing particular skills. Dissimilarity between countries and strong immigration barriers reinforce the counterstream effect. We analyze in this paper the link between poverty and migration in Western Balkan countries, and the respective implications for reforms and policies. The number of Western Balkan citizens who emigrate to developed European countries has dramatically increased over the past years. This is a consequence of increasing unemployment, poverty and social inequality. We also estimate a particular econometric model, including different experimental variables, related with migration and poverty.
