“…The globalization of production systems uses resources of each territory where there are located, following the logic of economies of scale, reducing costs of production and supply as well as developing optimization of the potential of local labor (Li et al, 2012). The Asian development model is based on the vertical integration of industrial sectors and on low labor costs.…”

As key links in transportation and supply chains, the effect of climate change on seaports has broad implications for the development prospects of the global economy. However, the picture is very uncertain because t he impacts of climate change will be felt very differently around the world, both positively and negatively. This book addresses the need for quality theoretical analysis, highly innovative assessment methodologies and insightful empirical global experiences so as to identify the best international practices, planning and appropriate policies to effectively adapt to, develop resilience to and, indeed, benefi t from the impacts posed by climate change on transportation and supply chains.With contributions from reputable scholars, inter-governmental organizations and senior professionals in transportation and supply chains coming from fi ve continents, this book investigates climate change, adaptation strategies and planning of transportation and supply chains from different angles. It encourages innovative and effective solutions in developing adaptation measures and resilience by ports, transportation and supply chains to climate change. This book will be essential for anyone interested in understanding climate change and its impacts on transportation and supply chain infrastructures, as well as the effective ways to adapt to such impacts.

“…Si bien la estrategia de desarrollo de esos países estuvo orientada en un primer momento al estímulo de una estructura productiva competitiva internacionalmente en bienes de escaso valor agregado, aprovechando la abundante oferta de mano de obra barata, luego apuntó a un proceso de aprendizaje e innovación que permitió sofisticar el nivel de su producción (Amsden, 2003;Chibber, 2008;Hikino;Amsden, 1995;Li et al, 2012). Evolucionaron, así, hacia el desarrollo de actividades centrales dentro de las cadenas de mercancías, rompiendo con la predeterminación que implicaba su posición periférica al desarrollo de actividades de bajo valor agregado y, de esa manera, lograron mejorar su participación en la apropiación de beneficio generado dentro de la misma.…”

“…La creciente participación de la economía china pareciera sustentarse, al igual que en el caso de los anteriores países que han ido conformando el centro dinámico de acumulación que desde el Este asiático relevara a Estados Unidos de esa posición dentro de la economía mundial, en un proceso de progresivo upgrade de su estructura productiva, que le ha permitido escalar gradualmente en las cadenas de mercancías (Li et al, 2012). No obstante, es preciso señalar que, aun, a pesar de su rápido crecimiento y la progresiva sofisticación de su economía, China todavía se encuentra a una considerable distancia respecto a Japón y el resto de los países asiáticos mencionados, en lo que hace a valor agregado generado internamente (Kwan, 2002).…”

Emergencia del Sur Global. Perspectivas para el desarrollo de la periferia latinoamericana

La periferia del sistema mundo – que denominamos en este trabajo "Sur Global" – ha experimentado un salto en su dinamismo durante la última década, liderado por un grupo de países, con epicentro en el Este asiático, convertidos en los principales dinamizadores del sistema. Ante la advertencia de ese particular contexto, y desde una perspectiva centralmente comparativa de las dinámicas de América Latina y el Este de Asia, en el presente trabajo se exploran algunos elementos que procuran dar cuenta del alcance de esa irrupción en cuanto a su potencialidad de alterar la estructura del sistema mundial y las posibilidades que, en dicho escenario, se abren para el desarrollo de la periferia latinoamericana.

“…Despite being one of the world's largest economies, China's dependency on imported intermediate inputs at 27.4% of total inputs, reflects its ongoing subordinate position in global value chains, while compared to other large manufacturing exporters, China retains less value added in ICT sectors such as office, accounting and computer manufacturing. While there is little doubt that China's economic structure is undergoing an underlying change from the assembly and processing of low technology goods to higher technology products, and while some level of know-how has been transferred to Chinese companies through foreign investment, some critical technologies have not yet been mastered (Li et al, 2012). Using a world electronics dataset, Van Assche and Gangnes (2010) suggest that there is little evidence of upgrading in China's electronics sectors, for example.…”

“…While some scholars are quite positive about the approach adopted and the level of upgrading of the industrial profile, others are critical of the overly directive approach of the state in the market, suggesting that techno-nationalism has slowed the evolution towards greater technological sophistication (Li et al, 2012;OECD 2012). Rather than constructing protectionist, inward-looking policies, emerging countries like China need to learn to deal effectively with the permeable borders of knowledge-creation and innovation, as technology development now encompasses the output of many workers in different global locations (Salter, 2009;Segal, 2011).…”

Implications of China’s on-going dependence on foreign technology

This paper examines the on-going high level of dependency of China's economy on foreign sources of technology during the period since accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Because this dependency is a major cause of concern for China's leaders and policymakers, they have sought to shift the direction of the economy particularly since 2006 towards a greater focus on indigenous innovation. Achieving such a major transformation, however, in an era when much of China's economic activity has become integrated within the global production networks of major corporations, is very challenging, and the evidence to date suggests only a modest level of success on the part of Chinese companies to substitute for the ongoing dominant position of foreign companies particularly in China's high technology sectors. Some progress has been made, however, in the private sector's share of economic activity in contrast to the declining share of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
