    Redefining Global Cities the Seven Types of Global Metro Economies

    REDEFINING GLOBAL CITIES THE SEVEN TYPES OF GLOBAL METRO ECONOMIES REDEFINING GLOBAL CITIES THE SEVEN TYPES OF GLOBAL METRO ECONOMIES GLOBAL CITIES INITIATIVE A JOINT PROJECT OF BROOKINGS AND JPMORGAN CHASE JESUS LEAL TRUJILLO AND JOSEPH PARILLA THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION | METROPOLITAN POLICY PROGRAM | 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ith more than half the world’s population now living in urban areas, cities are the critical drivers of global economic growth and prosperity. The world’s 123 largest metro areas contain a little Wmore than one-eighth of global population, but generate nearly one-third of global economic output. As societies and economies around the world have urbanized, they have upended the classic notion of a global city. No longer is the global economy driven by a select few major financial centers like New York, London, and Tokyo. Today, members of a vast and complex network of cities participate in international flows of goods, services, people, capital, and ideas, and thus make distinctive contributions to global growth and opportunity. And as the global economy continues to suffer from what the IMF terms “too slow growth for too long,” efforts to understand and enhance cities’ contributions to growth and prosperity become even more important. In view of these trends and challenges, this report redefines global cities. It introduces a new typology that builds from a first-of-its-kind database of dozens of indicators, standardized across the world’s 123 largest metro economies, to examine global city economic characteristics, industrial structure, and key competitive- ness factors: tradable clusters, innovation, talent, and infrastructure connectivity. The typology reveals that, indeed, there is no one way to be a global city.

N. D. 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension Federal University, Gashua, Yobe State 2 Department of Agricultural Economics University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Abstract This study examined cattle and beef marketing in Delta State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to identify and describe distribution channels for beef; ascertain the factors that determine selling price at the wholesale and retail level of cattle and beef; and determine the marketing margins for cattle and beef at both wholesale and retail levels. A total of 180 respondents (60 wholesalers and 120 retailers) were selected from the three agricultural zones in the state which are divided into local government areas. Data were collected from the respondents by using two sets of structured questionnaire. Marketing channels, regression analysis and marketing margin analysis were used to analyse the data collected. The mean price per cattle was N130,000.00 ±27098.82 while a kilogram of beef cost N750.00 on the average. The wholesale margins for cattle was N22,850.00 while the margins for beef retailers was N236,156.00 weekly. The regression results showed that transport cost (p<0.10), market charges (p<0.10) and cost of renting land (p<0.10) and buying price (p<0.05) significantly affected cattle wholesale price. The regression results showed that sales price (p<0.05) and transportation cost (p<0.05), while tax rate (p<0.10), cost of loading (p<0.10) and cost of offloading of cattle (p<0.10) significantly affected the retail prices.

  • Conflicts Between African Traditional Religion and Christianity in Eastern Nigeria: the Igbo Example

    Conflicts Between African Traditional Religion and Christianity in Eastern Nigeria: the Igbo Example

    SGOXXX10.1177/2158244017709322SAGE OpenOkeke et al. 709322research-article2017 Article SAGE Open April-June 2017: 1 –10 Conflicts Between African Traditional © The Author(s) 2017 https://doi.org/10.1177/2158244017709322DOI: 10.1177/2158244017709322 Religion and Christianity in Eastern journals.sagepub.com/home/sgo Nigeria: The Igbo Example Chukwuma O. Okeke1, Christopher N. Ibenwa1, and Gloria Tochukwu Okeke1 Abstract Conflict is a universal phenomenon that is inevitable in human interaction. Hence, it cannot be avoided in the interaction between Christianity and African Traditional Religion. Since Christianity came in contact with the traditional religion, there has always been a sharp conflict between traditionalists and Christians. This bitter conflict has led to wanton destruction of lives and property, and this has become a source of great worry to the writers. This work investigates the conflicts existing between the two religions since the introduction of Christianity in Igbo land. It examines the nature, pattern, rationale for the conflicts. The method adopted by this study is qualitative and comparative. Both oral interviews and library materials were used. The study validates the following: There is occasional destruction of lives and property and demolition of the people’s artifacts and groves by Christians, and this has led to reduction in the sources of income of the people, and in the tourist sites available in most Igbo towns. It also led to syncretism in the people’s culture. Finally, it helped in refining some obnoxious beliefs and practices of the Igbo race. Keywords Igbo, conflict, criminology, social sciences, ATR, Christianity, culture Introduction the first human inhabitants of Igbo land must have come from areas further north, possibly from the Niger confluence.
