The Relationship

Ecological environment is the basis for human interdependence and development, so regional economic development must take into account the security situation of ecological environment and biocapacity. Based on the Ecological Footprint methodology, using remote sensing and GIS spatial analysis techniques, the biocapacity of Minqin oasis in Gansu in 1990, 2000 and 2009 was quantitatively calculated, and its spatio-temporal pattern analysis was also analyzed. The results showed：over the past two decades, there have been increasingly noticeable alterations to Minqin oasis; as a result, land reclamation activities have led to an increase in the areas of cropland, meaning that its biocapacity is rising, while the biocapacity of forest and pasture is decreasing. The biocapacity in space shows that the high-value area aggregation is augmented, there is an increased scope of area, and the focus of biocapacity has shifted. However, after 2000, with the water shortage, abandonment issues being highlighted and the aggravation of desertification, biocapacity has decreased, and additionally, the relationship between land and man has become strained. The changes of biocapacity are all closely linked with population growth, socio-economic development, agriculture structure, and water scarcity.

The Relationship

This chapter examines Chinese migration and investment into Europe and explores models of migration and investment by identifying the gap between the two. The chapter highlights the major characteristics of Chinese investment and migration into Europe by identifying and separating the investment from Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and that of private individuals. This triangulation provides scholars and policy makers with a unique scenario. The migration and investment literature has been conducted as two separate and parallel topics. A small number of studies investigate the relationship of the two as one inter-connected relationship. There is even less focus on Chinese migration and investment due to the fact that over the past decade it has been a fast-moving phenomenon because of the speed of Chinese economic development. In addition, China's different political and economic system and its unique state structure adds another layer of complexity for scholars.

Based on the TM remote sensing images in autumn 1992, 2001 and 2009, the land use change of Binhai New Area is analyzed through the ENVI software. During remote sensing images processed, Binhai New Area is collected according to the administrative zoning maps. The results of land use change are vegetation cover and water changing little, which show the ecological environment remained stable in overall Binhai New Area. At that time, the area of unused land and salt works area is reduced, and the area of land reclamation and construction sites is increased, which indicates the rapid economic development of Binhai new area in past 20 years.

Harmonious development of environmental protection and economy is a realistic choice made in specific national situation for economic development and environmental protection. It has some kind of complexity. However, large and medium-sized cities develop very fast and the problem of environmental pollution becomes more and more obvious. Thus, how to effectively coordinate the paradox between economic development and environmental protection in large and medium-sized cities and achieve the good cyclic double-win between economic development and ecological environment are the main contents of this paper.

Global Diversification

Over the past several years, a variety of macroevolutionary studies have focused on global diversification patterns exhibited by the earth's biota as a whole, as well as among constituent groups. One motivation for this increased attention is the recognition that analyses of temporal changes in global diversity can provide substantial insight into underlying macroevolutionary processes (e.g. Sepkoski, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984; Sepkoski et al., 1981; Gould and Calloway, 1980; Carr and Kitchell, 1980; Kitchell and Carr, 1985; Miller and Sepkoski, 1988). Indeed, much about the dynamics of macroevolution has been elucidated through such investigations, but major diversity transitions in the history of life cannot be fully understood without consideration of the local, environmental/ecological contexts in which they took place. In other words, in the study of macroevolution, it is important to pay as much attention to the space dimension as has historically been paid to the time dimension. The utility of a spatio-temporal approach has been demonstrated in a series of studies conducted by Sepkoski and Sheehan (1983), Sepkoski and Miller (1985), Jablonski and Bottjer (1983), Bottjer and Jablonski (in press), Droser and Bottjer (1988), Bottjer et al. (1988), and Miller (1988, in press). Collectively, these investigations have suggested that major changes in the global diversities of several groups were accompanied by measurable paleoenvironmental shifts.

Economic Well Being

Institutions and economies underwent profound changes between 1500 and 1800 in most parts of Europe. Differences among societies decreased in some ways, but markedly increased in others. Do these changes and these variations tell us anything about the relationship between social organisation and economic well-being? This is a very wide question, and even the qualified ‘yes’ with which I will answer it, though based on the detailed empirical research of some hundreds of local studies undertaken in the past few decades, is far from definitive. Many of these studies were inspired by an influential set of hypotheses, known as the ‘theory of proto-industrialisation’. While this theory has been enormously fruitful, its conclusions about European economic and social development are no longer tenable. This paper offers an alternative interpretation of the evidence now available about proto-industrialisation in different European societies, and explores its implications by investigating one region of Central Europe between 1580 and about 1800.

Abstract. In the western China, since special geographical condition, vulnerable ecological environment and environment pollution from oil development, the regional economic society suffers from dire threats. For a long time, the local economic development walks along the same path that “treatment after pollution, recovery after damage”. In order to economic development, many governments pay a little attention at environment. So, the ecological environment must be taken attention to protect and the west oil companies must undertake the society obligation and protect the environment during the domestic oil resources strategic shift from east to west. In this article, the effects on ecological environment from oil development of northwest oilfields were analyzed, and the reasonable measures were put forward to protect the vulnerable environment.

Patterns Of Behavior

In the past 10,000 years, mankind was primarily engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. Its economic development did not cause too much destruction of the Earth's environment. But in the recent 300 years, coal mining, oil extraction, land reclamation, mineral exploitation, lumbering, fishing, chemical and nuclear industries, etc., resulted in a variety of ecological disasters. The atmosphere and water resources, soil layers have been seriously polluted. The deteriorating environment reminds mankind that economic development can not sacrifice the environment. For the sake of sustainable development, this paper puts forward a new theory: Tenant Theory. This theory regards mankind as a tenant living in the big house, the biosphere. Its vertical distance is only about 20 kilometers. All the activities of the tenant could not destroy the house. But, this tenant has always been damaging the house unconsciously. In order to obtain an opportunity of sustainable development, mankind must adjust its values and patterns of behavior. This theory is first presented in this paper, it warns that mankind should recognize own place in the great nature, and know how to think and how to behave so as to obtain sustainable development.

The Relationship

The purpose of the article is to show the relationship between the mobilization model of economic development and the modernization of Russia, which was catching up. The mobilization model is understood as a development scheme aimed at achieving emergency goals through exceptional means and emergency organizational forms. The period of the first half of the twentieth century was chosen as the most characteristic for the relationship between this model and the restructuring of the economy when the foundations for further transformation of Russia were laid. Using the method of comparative historical analysis of implemented and alternative modernization options reveals the relevance of the topic. It is related to the fact that modern assessments of the Russian experience mix up the mobilization model with the idea of planning and centralization of control in general, which prevents the use of theoretical and practical achievements of the past. They consist of proving the possibility of combining the plan and the market based on indicative planning.

Abstract. China's economy has experienced rapid development in the past few decades, and economic development has also brought serious pollution problems, which has attracted wide attention of scholars at home and abroad. Based on the data of global PM2.5 remote sensing products and China's economic development from 1998 to 2016, the temporal and spatial variations of PM2.5 concentration in China from 1998 to 2016 were analyzed, and the response of PM2.5 concentration in China to economic development was studied. The results showed that the average annual PM2.5 concentration in 1998–2016 showed the spatial distribution characteristics of high in the East and low in the west; during 1998–2016, PM2.5 increased significantly in most regions, but decreased significantly in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu, while PM2.5 did not change significantly in some parts of the central region; during 1998–2007, PM2.5 concentration in most regions of China experienced rapid economic development. The concentration of PM2.5 in a few areas such as Inner Mongolia decreased significantly, while that in Yunnan, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia did not change significantly. During the 10 years of economic slowdown in China (2008–2016), the downward trend of PM2.5 concentration in China was expanding. The concentration of PM2.5 in the central and southern regions decreased or did not change significantly, except in the northwest and a few northeast regions. The change of PM2.5 concentration responds obviously to economic development, but the response of different regional economic development to the change of PM2.5 concentration is different.
