Based on the current study, this paper points out that East Asia does not have the condition for the monetary cooperation and the cooperation can only be conducted in a comparatively low level; furthermore, in order to achieve the monetary integration and to form the Optimum Currency Areas, it is still a long way to go for Asian countries. All the Asia countries should work hard in the political and economic area. However, the common interests will make the monetary cooperation an irreversible trend.展开更多

These provinces besides being away from the administrative,industrial and production hubs are also marked by one of the highest concentrations of poverty in the Asia-Pacific region,and continue to encounter problems of political legitimacy engendered by geography,history,culture,racial factors,lack of specialized skills,capital formation. Revival of natural relationships may be the strategy for development of frontier provinces of China and India,through construction of trade corridors,exploitation of cultural similarities and enabling participation of communities,even fostering links through a third country. As nationalities or communities sharing similar socio-cultural or primordial oneness are interspersed on both sides of the boundary,it is argued that ethnic communities can be made to play a role in translating ethnic affinities into a lasting,effective,and substantial cooperation:beyond the state-centric security concerns to improve human security. Trading activities along China and Indian frontiers are usually controlled by non-local 'other' people,who are ethnically/racially different from the communities settled at the frontier. Therefore,systematic encouragement of participation of people may negate perceptions of exploitation,domination and alienation by the exclusionary tendencies of trade. These factors which engender contest against the state in the frontiers of China and India can be rectified through encouraging participation of people in the activities of China-India cooperation. Trade along the China and India frontiers may never reach economies of scale and may be statistically insignificant but it can make huge difference to the lives of people living along the frontier. This Essay argues for more border trade points,rather normal trade through the borders and ensuring participation of various ethnic communities spread along the frontiers.展开更多

The exchange of information among different countries is a key element to promote a wider diffusion of practices for sustainable development in the fields of architecture and urban planning, contributing to the improvement of new skills and economic and production activities, while also reducing the environmental impact of construction on the territory. An international cooperation can lead an exchange of experiences and practices, which could play a fundamental role since countries can have similar problems to deal with, as it happens for the specific identity of the Mediterranean territory in coastal and rural areas. This paper analyses a case of international cooperation, the project SCORE, “Sustainable COnstruction in Rural and fragile areas for energy Efficiency”, financed under the European MED Programme with the purpose to promote sustainable energy policies in the construction sector on fragile coastal and rural Mediterranean areas.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of changes in land use in the context of cross-border cooperation. Geographic information systems and remote sensing were used to produce the various land use maps. For this purpose, the MERIS satellite images for the periods 1992, 2005 and 2018 were used. The exploration of the different images and the field visits made it possible to identify the following six land use classes: dense forests, degraded/deforested forests, savannas, swamp forests, buildings and bare soils, water surfaces. It emerges that the TRIDOM landscape is mainly occupied by dense forests which represent 97.02%, 96.72% and 96.52% respectively in 1992, 2005 and 2018. Then, degraded/deforested forests and savannas which would correspond to cultivation areas and fallow land only represent respectively 1.06% and 0.68% of the landscape in 1992. This proportion in 2005 is respectively 1.22% and 0.77%, whereas in 2018, it is respectively 1.36% and 0.81% of the massif. The landscape of TRIDOM has not experienced any significant land use change during the period after the signing of the cooperation agreement. Historical rates of deforestation are low during the period under study. They are estimated at 0.042% and 0.030% respectively for the period 1992-2005 and the period 2005-2018. These low rates of deforestation seem to be due to the measures taken to secure and sustainably manage the massif taken by the three countries, the low population density in this area and the still difficult level of accessibility of a large part of the massif.展开更多

The results show that the ownership structure has the most critical impact on the performance of cooperative organizations,and the impact coefficient is as high as 0.92; the importance of oversight mechanism is basically equivalent to that of the council structure for cooperative organizations,and the impact coefficient is 0.87 and 0.86,respectively,second only to the ownership structure; the size of members' quit capacity also has a very important impact on the performance of organizations,with impact coefficient of 0.74. Thus,the problems influencing the performance of organizations,in the current governance structure of agricultural cooperative economic organizations in Three Gorges Reservoir Area,are pointed out. Finally,corresponding countermeasures are put forward.展开更多
