Regional Development: The Importance of the Involvement of Inhabitants and Innovative Approaches in Management

2021

Innovation and an innovative approach in management, education and leadership have been changing over decades, according to the dynamic world we are living in. Changes start at an individual level, with the personality, and only those who have changed themselves can start to lead others towards global change. The Latvian National Development Plan defined aspects of polycentric development for all the regions of Latvia.

The education system changes very slowly, from lecture learning to a more inclusive ‘learni…

Dynamiques de développement et inégalités régionales en Chine

2009

Le rapide développement économique de la Chine a généré des inégalités socio-spatiales croissantes, qui se marquent par un décalage croissant entre provinces littorales et intérieures, et entre villes et campagnes. À partir de l’examen des données statistiques officielles chinoises, on peut clairement repérer une aggravation des déséquilibres internes de la Chine, qui sont des facteurs potentiels de déstabilisation sociale, en particulier dans le cas des paysans venus tenter leur chance dans les grandes aires urbaines littorales, ou chassés de leurs terres par l’expansion périmétropolitaine. Cela entraîne aujourd’hui une politique différenciée d’aménagement du territoire chinois visant à co…
