The Geographical Formation of International Management Centres in Europe
International management centres are based on production-control functions. Control functions comprise headquarters as bases of operation and beachheads co-ordinating foreign branches and subsidiaries. Bases of operations and beachheads are sustained by advanced business services, financial and real estate services and corporate services. These activities make up an economic formation. Transport, communication facilities, internationally oriented…

The complicated pattern of foreign direct investments (FDI) is analyzed for the Single European Market. There are huge FDI flows from the USA and Japan.

According to Jolles, the modernization of society leads to ’an increasing num…
A New Profile of Urbanization
Trends in urbanization in developed countries over the past four decades are analyzed. "Particular attention is given to the process of counterurbanization, and the recent reversal of this population trend has been highlighted. The recent developments in the fortunes of cities also entail a need for new classifications. These are obviously necessary in order to analyze the restructuring of the economic base and to foresee the emergence of new soc…
In Pursuit of Deconcentration: The Evolution of the Dutch Urban System from an Organizational Perspective
The geographical process of (de)concentration is both a prerequisite for and a consequence of changing activity systems controlled by organizations involved in decentralization. This article describes the evolution of the Dutch urban system since the sixteenth century by focusing on the processes of (de)concentration and spatial integration. Recent developments are analyzed from the perspective of the spatial structure of organizations. From this…
