The Pursuit of Qualities by Peripheral Latecomers in the Agrofood Sectors: The Case of Erlin Wine Industry in Taiwan
Using the recent emergence of Taiwan's Erlin wine region as the example, this article studies the late development of a given peripheral agrofood sector. Specifically, it proposes an analytical approach that incorporates quality perspectives and the convention theory framework for better accounting for certain quality-pursuing approaches employed by latecomers in such industries to drive their upgrading and evolution. Through examining the ways i…
Development of wine industries in the New-New World: Case studies of wine regions in Taiwan and Japan
Industrial Districts
An industrial district ( ID ) is a spatially defined production system characterized by the concentration of firms specializing in certain industrial sectors. In addition to the typical notion of agglomeration economies, the ID concept stresses the significance of noneconomic factors, such as culture, norms, and institutions, to account for a region's industrial and economic development. The existence of strong local social networks built on a co…
Newly Industrializing Economies ( NIEs )
Newly industrializing economies (NIEs) are those regions and countries that have undergone rapid economic growth via export‐oriented industrialization since World War II. This entry discusses three different, but interrelated, approaches to explain the rise of NIEs: the liberal market approach, focusing on international trade and cross‐border investment; the developmental state approach, emphasizing the role of state interventions behind developm…
Industrial upgrading and interaction between the advanced small south and China: The case of Taiwan’s machine tool industry
Existing studies of late industrialization emphasize the significance of learning mechanisms associated with North–South linkages for the technological and manufacturing capabilities of the South. With reference to investments by Taiwan’s machine tool industry in China, this paper shows how and why a small and relatively advanced latecomer in the South (Taiwan) developed multiple capabilities by exploring and exploiting the technological and mark…
The Bangladesh paradox: Exceptional health achievement despite economic poverty
Challenges for philanthropy and tobacco control in China (1986–2012)
International engagement has been an important dimension of tobacco control in China. Recognising the large burden of illness and capitalising on proven effective control measures, philanthropic organisations understandably seized the opportunity to achieve major health gains. Much of the international philanthropic investment has been directed at public information, policy change and building the Chinese research knowledge base. Documenting rese…

Diasporas and Development: Exploring the Potential
For some time in diaspora studies, attention to remittances has overshadowed the growing impact of emigrant groups both within the social and political arenas in their homelands and with regard to fundamental economic development. The authors of Diasporas and Development redress this imbalance, focusing on three core issues: the responses of diasporas to homeland conflicts, strategies for mobilizing effective homeland investment, and the positive…
Turnaround in China's Health Policies
Population Policies Reconsidered: Health, Empowerment and Rights
In this volume, scholars, policy-makers and women's health advocates suggest a new consensus on population policy directions for the 21st century, centred on health, women's empowerment, and human rights. They argue that public policy should assure the rights and well-being of people, rather than simply attempting to limit the ultimate size of the world's population

Understanding Morbidity Change: Reply to Riley
1992) for understanding morbidity change. Among the more contentious issues, Riley challenges the importance of the distinction between self-perceived morbidity and observed morbidity. He then claims that the duration of disease episodes is on average increasing. This increase is framed in terms of the epidemiological transition (Omran, 1971). According to Riley, the distinction between self-perceived and observed morbidity is false. Because self…

Poliomyelitis: What are the prospects for eradication and rehabilitation
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 74% of the world's children were fully immunized against poliomyelitis by early 1990; even so, the disease is still paralysing almost a quarter of a million individuals each year and killing perhaps 25 000. This paper - one of a series undertaken on specific diseases for the World Bank's Health Sector Priorities Review on diseases of major importance in the developing world - reviews available ev…
Coping with economic crisis: Policy development in China and India
This paper explores health policy options in response to economic crises in developing countries. The paper is based upon the premise that policy is best pursued within a broad understanding of the determinants of health of populations. To provide an empirical base for analysis, the health status and health care systems of China and India are compared. A conceptual framework on the determinants of the health status of populations is then develope…

Sex Bias in the Family Allocation of Food and Health Care in Rural Bangladesh
Conclusive evidence was provided in an earlier study by the authors of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh.' Male mortality exceeded female mortality in the neonatal period, but this differential was reversed in the postneonatal period. Higher female than male mortality continued through childhood into adolescence and extended through the reproductive ages. The mos…
Sex Differentials in Mortality in Rural Bangladesh
This study provides conclusive documentation of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh. The higher male mortality rates during the neonatal period are consistent with reports from developed countries; but whereas in developed countries this higher male mortality risk continues through childhood and adolescence the differential is reversed during the post-neonatal peri…

Maternal Mortality in Rural Bangladesh
Studies were carried out by the Cholera Research Laboratory to investigate maternal mortality in rural Bangladesh. In the 1st study field workers interviewed the closest relative of every reported deceased female in the reproductive age group to diagnose the probable cause of death. The 2nd investigation involved an analysis of all registered birth and death reports in a specified population. In the 2 studies the maternal mortality rates were fou…
The effect of child mortality experience on subsequent fertility: In Pakistan and Bangladesh
This paper presents an empirical analysis of the effects, behavioural and biological, of child mortality experience on subsequent fertility in two South Asian Islamic nations. Data for the investigation came from retrospective pregnancy histories of 2,910 currently married women interviewed in the Pakistan National Impact Survey (1968-69) and from longitudinal vital registration data (1966-2070) of 5,236 women residing in a rural area of Banglade…
Demographic crisis: The impact of the Bangladesh civil war (1971) on births and deaths in a rural area of Bangladesh
In Matlab Bazaar Thana the Cholera Research Laboratory has registered the births, deaths and migrations in a population of approximately 125,000 since 1966. Although this rural area was not the scene of any significant armed encounters, striking changes in birth and death rates were registered during and after the conflict. Birth rates did not change during the relatively brief period of the civil war, but a small decline was registered for one y…
