    SHANGHAI, CHINA’S CAPITAL OF MODERNITY: THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND URBAN EXPERIENCE OF WORLD EXPO 2010 by GARY PUI FUNG WONG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOHPY School of Government and Society Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham February 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

  • An Evaluation of Poverty Prevalence in China: New Evidence from Four
    An Evaluation of Poverty Prevalence in China: New Evidence from Four Recent Surveys Chunni ZHANG, Qi XU, Xiang ZHOU, Xiaobo ZHANG, Yu XIE Abstract In this paper, we calculate and compare the poverty incidence rate in China using four nationally representative surveys: the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS, 2010), the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS, 2010), the Chinese Household Finance Survey (CHFS, 2011), and the Chinese Household Income Project (CHIP, 2007). Using both international and official domestic poverty standards, we show that poverty prevalence at the national, rural, and urban levels based on the CFPS, CGSS and CHFS are much higher than official estimation and those based on the CHIP. The study highlights the importance of using independent datasets to validate official statistics of public and policy concern in contemporary China. 1 An Evaluation of Poverty Prevalence in China: New Evidence from Four Recent Surveys Since the economic reform began in 1978, China’s economic growth has not only greatly improved the average standard of living in China but also been credited with lifting hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty. According to one report (Ravallion and Chen, 2007), the poverty rate dropped from 53% in 1981 to 8% in 2001. Because of the vast size of the Chinese population, even a seemingly low poverty rate of 8% implies that there were still more than 100 million Chinese people living in poverty, a sizable subpopulation exceeding the national population of the Philippines and falling slightly short of the total population of Mexico. Hence, China still faces an enormous task in eradicating poverty.

  • Chapter 7 Child Poverty and Well-Being in China in the Era of Economic Reforms and External Opening *
    HARNESSING GLOBALISATION FOR CHILDREN: A report to UNICEF Chapter 7 Child poverty and well-being in China in the era of economic reforms and external opening * Lu Aiguo and Wei Zhong Summary: During its period of reforms and openness China has achieved positive results in per capita income growth and poverty reduction. However, there is evidence that the most significant progress in poverty reduction occurred in the early days of reform when openness and trade liberalization were not yet playing a major role. At the same time, increasing income inequality (in particular the inequality between regions and between rural and urban areas) explains the persistence of poverty in the midst of rapid growth and jeopardizes the broad-based growth pattern. The chapter examines the changes in child well-being in China over the last two decades, with poverty as the central focus. Its policy recommendations insist on the role of central government in sustaining the rural economy and “developing the west” to reduce the bias for east-coastal and urban development. Policies to accelerate the establishment of social safety nets, welfare programmes – particularly those targeted at children – and the enforcement of reasonable labour and social standards for small and medium-sized enterprises are also necessary to reinforce the ‘equality’ that is currently in short supply in China. JEL: D63, F43, I31, J13 * This study presents the views of its authors and not the official UNICEF position in this field. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- CHAPTER 7: CHILD WELL-BEING IN CHINA IN THE ERA OF ECONOMIC REFORMS This is chapter 7 of the overall study “Harnessing Globalisation for Children” edited by Giovanni Andrea Cornia 2 HARNESSING GLOBALISATION FOR CHILDREN: A report to UNICEF 1.

  • Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J
    Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J. King Johann Heinrich Zimmermann (1741-1805) a navigué sur le Discovery lors du troisième voyage de James Cook au Pacifique (1776-1780) et a écrit un compte du voyage, Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook (Mannheim, 1781). En 1782 il a été invité par William Bolts à participer à un voyage à la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique partant de Trieste sous les couleurs autrichiennes impériales. Ce voyage était conçu comme réponse autrichienne aux voyages de Cook, un voyage impérial de découverte autour du monde qui devait comprendre l'exploitation des possibilités commerciales du commerce des fourrures sur la côte nord- ouest et le commerce avec la Chine et le Japon. Zimmermann a été rejoint à Trieste par trois de ses anciens compagnons de bord sous Cook -- George Dixon, George Gilpin et William Walker, chacun destiné à naviguer comme officier sur le navire impérial et royal Cobenzell. Les lettres et le journal de Zimmermann qui ont survécu fournissent une source valable à cette étude des origines du commerce maritime des fourrures sur la côte nord-ouest. On 24 July 1782, George Dixon wrote from Vienna to Heinrich Zimmermann, his former shipmate on the Discovery during James Cook’s 1776-1780 expedition to the North Pacific: Dear Harry, Yours I Rec‘d, and am glad you have Resolution, like the Honest Sailor which I allways have taken you for, and are willing to be doing sum thing both for your self and the Country.

  • William Jardine (Merchant) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    William Jardine (merchant) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other people with the same name see "William Jardine" (disambiguation) William Jardine (24 February 1784 – 27 February 1843) was a Scottish physician and merchant. He co-founded the Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine, Matheson and Company. From 1841 to 1843, he was Member of Parliament for Ashburton as a Whig. Educated in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Jardine obtained a diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1802. In the same year, he became a surgeon's mate aboard the Brunswick of the East India Company, bound for India. Captured by the French and shipwrecked in 1805, he was repatriated and returned to the East India Company's service as ship's surgeon. In May 1817, he left medicine for commerce.[1] Jardine was a resident in China from 1820 to 1839. His early success in Engraving by Thomas Goff Lupton Canton as a commercial agent for opium merchants in India led to his admission in 1825 as a partner of Magniac & Co., and by 1826 he was controlling that firm's Canton operations. James Matheson joined him shortly after, and Magniac & Co. was reconstituted as Jardine, Matheson & Co in 1832. After Imperial Commissioner Lin Zexu confiscated 20,000 cases of British-owned opium in 1839, Jardine arrived in London in September, and pressed Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston for a forceful response.[1] Contents 1 Early life 2 Jardine, Matheson and Co. 3 Departure from China and breakdown of relations 4 War and the Chinese surrender Portrait by George Chinnery, 1820s 5 Death and legacy 6 Notes 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Early life Jardine, one of five children, was born in 1784 on a small farm near Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.[2] His father, Andrew Jardine, died when he was nine, leading the family in some economic difficulty.

Braga (1940)1 Introduction In a quiet corner of the former Catholic Portuguese colony of Macao, China, away from the bustle and hum of the surrounding streets, there is to be found a small nineteenth century burial ground for Protestants – British and American in the main, but also including French, German, Danish, Dutch, Swedish and Armenian graves. The ground is entered via a narrow gate off the Praça Luis de Camões (Camoens Square), above which is a white tablet bearing the legend: ‘Protestant Church and Old Cemetery [East India Company 1814]’. The date is in fact erroneous, as the burial ground did not open until 1821, and the land was only purchased in the same year.2 Here beneath shaded canopies of bauhinia and frangipani lie 164 men, women and children each of whom died in the service of their nation in a foreign land, either as soldiers, merchants, sailors, medics, diplomats, civil servants, entrepreneurs, missionaries, wives, mothers or innocents. The maladies of which the cemetery’s residents died were numerous, and all too typical of life in the tropics.
