“…Approaches to regionalization have a long history in geographic studies of China (Cartier, 2002;Cressey, 1934;Skinner, 1985) and while debates about how many regions China has, and what their borders are, it is generally agreed that there are vast differences between different parts of China. In this study we adopt the ''three belts'' scheme originating in the Seventh Five-Year Plan, illustrated in Fig.…”

“…This study began by using Christaller's ideas of central place, focusing on five ambients, or sectors of the economy, to describe the development of the urban system within the central valleys of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. We realize there is debate as to the validity of Christaller's pure model in the context of a world where modern transportation systems and the Internet can significantly alter the costs of transportation between nodes in an urban system (Cartier, ; Mok, Wellman, & Carrasco, ; Turner, ). However, in the case of the central valleys of Oaxaca, Christaller's model has proven useful in helping to identify regional centers and subcenters in the valley and to explain or identify some of the factors leading to changes in status over time.…”

In this article, we explore the nature of the urban system in the Valley of Oaxaca as it has developed in the late 20th century, when Mexico joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (1986) and negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States and Canada (1994, with final aspects of the agreement going into effect in 2008). Both the events exposed Mexico and, by extension, Oaxaca to powerful external economic forces. Global integration significantly altered the urban and regional economic systems in the central valleys of Oaxaca. The conquest of Mexico by Spain in the early 16th century brought Mexico into the global economic system centered in Europe. For most of the five centuries since the arrival of the Spanish, Oaxaca was part of what Immanuel Wallerstein described as the periphery, that is, regions whose primary role in the system was to provide raw goods and labor to core regions such as Mexico City, Madrid, London, and New York. This article describes how the integration of Oaxaca into the world economy that resulted from Mexico's entry into GATT and NAFTA altered the nature of the urban system in the central valleys of Oaxaca. These changes significantly increased the role of Oaxaca City in the extraction of resources from the state into the world economy and increased wealth disparities in the central valleys.

“…This unevenness reflects differences in both the distribution of natural resources [20], and patterns of human -environmental interaction. This is reflected in the existence of distinct 'macroregions' dating back several centuries [21][22][23][24]. As Spence [25] observed, such historical 'units in some cases coincid[e] with actual provinces .…”

There is growing evidence that wildlife conservation measures have mixed effects on the emergence and spread of zoonotic disease. Wildlife conservation has been found to have both positive (dilution) and negative (contagion) effects. In the case of avian influenza H5N1 in China, the focus has been on negative effects. Lakes and wetlands attracting migrating waterfowl have been argued to be disease hotspots. We consider the implications of waterfowl conservation for H5N1 infections in both poultry and humans between 2004 and 2012. We model both environmental and economic risk factors. Environmental risk factors comprise the conditions that structure interaction between wild and domesticated birds. Economic risk factors comprise the cost of disease, biosecurity measures and disease risk mitigation. We find that H5N1 outbreaks in poultry populations are indeed sensitive to the existence of wild-domesticated bird mixing zones, but not in the way we would expect from the literature. We find that risk is decreasing in protected migratory bird habitat. Since the number of human cases is increasing in the number of poultry outbreaks, as expected, the implication is that the protection of wetlands important for migratory birds offers unexpected human health benefits.This article is part of the themed issue 'Conservation, biodiversity and infectious disease: scientific evidence and policy implications'.
