From Last Colonies to Overseas Territories. 330 $a?The Ends of Empire makes a convincing case that we need a sharper lens through which to view the problems confronting overseas territories than a binary focus ?for or against? independence. This makes the book?s discussion of the many intermediate points between full integration and outright independence so important ? and so rewarding a read.? ?Professor Martin Thomas, University of Exeter ?This book is the most complete and up-to-date study of non-sovereign territories that I have read, and being so extremely rich in detail and references, offers a significant foundation for future studies.? ?Dr Wouter Veenendaal, University of Leiden ?This substantial study updates and expands the same authors? 1998 book, The Last Colonies. It deals with what are now known as overseas territories, not one of which has progressed to independence in the years following the first book. This book is comprehensive and learned yet written in an accessible style, appealing to students of contemporary politics and international relations as well as those involved in the burgeoning field of island studies.? ?Professor Stephen A. Royle, Queen?s University Belfast This book offers a fresh analysis of constitutional, economic, demographic and cultural developments in the overseas territories of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Ranging from Greenland to Gibraltar, the Falklands to the Faroes, and encompassing islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Caribbean, these territories command attention because of their unique status, and for the ways that they occasionally become flashpoints for rival international claims, dubious financial activities, illegal migration and clashes between metropolitan and local mores. Connell and Aldrich argue that a negotiated dependency brings greater benefits to these territories than might independence. 606 $aEconomic development$xResearch 606 $aHuman geography 615 0$aEconomic development$xResearch. 615 0$aHuman geography. 676 $a338.9 700 $aConnell$b John$f1909-1965,$0968610 702 $aAldrich$b Robert$f1954- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910422643203321 996 $aThe ends of empire$92200144 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03923 am 2200781 n 450 001 9910340853103321 005 20180928 010 $a2-7099-2198-7 024 7 $a10.4000/books.irdeditions.26145 035 $a(CKB)4100000007145922 035 $a(FrMaCLE)OB-irdeditions-26145 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/49035 035 $a(PPN)267949987 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007145922 100 $a20181119j|||||||| ||| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $auu||||||m|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHà N?i, a Metropolis in the Making $eThe Breakdown in Urban Integration of Villages /$fSylvie Fanchette 210 $aMarseille $cIRD Éditions$d2018 215 $a1 online resource (194 p.) 311 $a2-7099-2197-9 330 $aBuilt on 'the bend in the Red River', Hà N?i is among Southeast Asia's most ancient capitals. Over the centuries, it took shape in part from a dense substratum of villages. With the economic liberalisation of the 1980s, it encountered several obstacles to its expansion: absence of a real land market, high population densities, the government's food self-suffciency policy that limits expropriations of land and the water management constraints of this very vulnerable delta. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the change in speed brought about by the state and by property developers in the construction and urban planning of the province-capital poses the problem of integration of in situ urbanised villages, the importance of preserving a green belt around Hà N?i and the necessity of protection from flooding. The harmonious fusion of city and countryside, which has always constituted the Red River Delta's defining feature, appears to be in jeopardy. Working from a rich body of maps and field studies, this collective work reveals how this grass-roots urbanisation encounters 'top-down' urbanisation, or metropolisation. By combining a variety of disciplinary approaches on several different scales, through a study of spatial issues and social dynamics, this atlas not only enables the reader to gauge the impact of major projects on the lives of villages integrated into the city's fabric but also to re-establish the peri-urban village stratum as a fully-fledged actor in the diversity of this emerging metropolis. 517 $aHà N?i, a metropolis in the making 606 $aGeography 606 $aHanoï 606 $apériurbanisation 606 $autilisation du sol 606 $avie urbaine 606 $aVietnam 610 $aHanoï 610 $aVietnam 610 $avie urbaine 610 $apériurbanisation 610 $autilisation du sol 615 4$aGeography 615 4$aHanoï 615 4$apériurbanisation 615 4$autilisation du sol 615 4$avie urbaine 615 4$aVietnam 700 $aBoudreau$b J.-A$01300481 701 $aBrouillac$b Ph$01300482 701 $aCerise$b E$01300483 701 $aDe Koninck$b Rodolphe$01300484 701 $aDuchère$b Y$01300485 701 $aFanchette$b S$01300486 701 $aLabbé$b D$01300487 701 $aMounier$b C$01300488 701 $aMoustier$b P$01300489 701 $aMusil$b C$01300490 701 $aNh?t Kiên$b Tr?n$01300491 701 $aOrfeuvre$b R$01300492 701 $aPandolfi$b L$042386 701 $aSegard$b J$01300493 701 $aTh? Anh$b Ðào$01300494 701 $aTh? Tân L?c$b Nguy?n$01300495 701 $aV?n Hùng$b Lê$01300496 701 $aV?n S?u$b Nguy?n$01300497 701 $aXuân Ho?n$b Nguy?n$01300498 701 $aFanchette$b Sylvie$0662073 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910340853103321 996 $aHà N?i, a Metropolis in the Making$93025547 997 $aUNINA
