THE TRANS-PACIFIC ECONOMY: A NETWORK APPROACH TO SPATIAL STRUCTURE

THE TRANS-PACIFIC ECONOMY: A NETWORK APPROACH TO SPATIAL STRUCTURE Abstract The Asia-Pacific region is analysed as a trans-oceanic economy. Like the Trans-Atlantic economy it constitutes a sub-system of the world economy. Drawing on world systems theory its spatial structure could be defined in terms of core states and peripheral states. The use of nation states in the real world situation leads to categorization problems. An alternative approach is to revive network analysis. Rather than making value judgments about core and periphery an analysis of transport and communications networks is used to determine the proximity and intensity of real economic activity. This approach is illustrated in this paper using the frequency of inter-port container services. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Geographer Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract The Asia-Pacific region is analysed as a trans-oceanic economy. Like the Trans-Atlantic economy it constitutes a sub-system of the world economy. Drawing on world systems theory its spatial structure could be defined in terms of core states and peripheral states. The use of nation states in the real world situation leads to categorization problems. An alternative approach is to revive network analysis. Rather than making value judgments about core and periphery an analysis of transport and communications networks is used to determine the proximity and intensity of real economic activity. This approach is illustrated in this paper using the frequency of inter-port container services.
