Abstract This theoretical study delves into the dynamics of housing submarkets with the framework of Marxian land rents. It examines the relationship between residential spaces and the reproduction of labour power in terms of commuting and the differentiated quality of reproduction by submarket. This study shows that the differentiation process of venturing to create distinct spaces for surplus profit and the emulation process of copycatting spaces of higher rents consequently form multiple housing submarkets, each characterised by different land rents of monopoly, intra ‐ differential rent (intra‐DR) and inter‐differential rent (inter‐DR). The coexistence of these multiple layers of land rents, in turn, becomes a driving force propelling dynamic capital movements that seek to exploit rent gaps between the layers. To illustrate these concepts, the study reviews the case of high‐rise mixed‐use residential developments in Seoul, highlighting the dual dynamic processes through which land rents are pursued.

Abstract In this paper, we explore how borders and associated processes – spatial othering and ordering – are reproduced, resisted and undermined temporally. To do so, we investigate ethnographically how ‘welcomers’ from volunteer pro‐refugee initiatives in Paris become involved in the chronopolitics of b/ordering. Our empirical analysis builds on the practice turn in border studies and on Sharma's chronography of power, which focuses on the relational dimension of temporal politics. We detail three temporal practices of Parisian welcome cultures: temporal translation, temporal creation and the elaboration of sub‐architectures of temporal maintenance. In detailing these practices ethnographically, we highlight the ambiguity of welcomers' role in the chronopolitics of b/ordering: aligning with and recalibrating refugees' bodies to the rhythmic and temporal logics of b/ordering as well as undermining the violence, binarity and rigidified identities underpinning b/ordering timelines.

Abstract This article will examine rent gap production and negotiations through the establishment of two UNESCO Geoparks for tourism in Indonesia. The commodification of different geological landscapes was analysed through processes of rural gentrification as ‘build‐to‐let’ homestays and villas emerged under the auspices of local‐regional governance brokering private sector interests under the aegis of post‐reformation Indonesian decentralization politics. The consequent rent‐gap brings about negotiated displacements that varies between actors, but form a crucial component in unravelling the process of rent‐gap creation. Based on 32 interviews with a range of stakeholders in Gunungsewu and Ciletuh UNESCO Geoparks, we show how finances and local‐regional governance power mesh in the production of these tourism destinations against state power. This production of tourism destinations signifies locally specific governance as the determining factors in rent gap production. This paper unmasks the powers at play opening rent gaps in commodifying landscape intertwining with national political regime.

Abstract In post‐socialist Budapest, gentrification has remained modest for decades after the regime change (1989) due to politically controlled economic relations besides marketisation. Political control was transformed but maintained after 2010 in the illiberal Orbán regime. Populist housing privatisation for tenants, insufficient regulation of rental housing, mortgage policy and urban rehabilitations with systemic corruption caused moderate level of housing market commodification. However, gentrification accelerated from 2014. Among other factors, the restriction of mortgage lending and the unplanned expansion of tourism increased the commodification of real estate market. Similar contextual issues were mentioned in the gentrification literature before; however, they remained external modifying effects of the assumed nomothetic political economic mechanisms behind rent gaps under neoliberal governance assumed everywhere. We suggest connecting institutional, social and political factors with dynamics of land rent through the concept of commodification and its effects on potential ground rent to include them within the mechanisms of gentrification.

Unequal territorial development is a fact present everywhere in the world, including in developed countries, and even within developed regions of developed countries. The terminology for such less developed places/regions is varied, one of the concepts used being ‘left behind’ places/regions, which is the subject of Levelling Up Left Behind Places; this book is part of the book series ‘Regional Studies Policy Impact Books’, published by the Regional Studies Association and Taylor & Francis. The scientific contribution of the book to the existing literature consists of the research on a relatively new concept, ‘left behind’, this is realized through the complete study of the unequal territorial development in a developed country, including the study of the causes, then of the actual situation (through very relevant comparisons between a global city like London and regions ‘left behind’ in the same country) and the proposal of solutions. This contribution is credible and welcome, given the fact that its authors are world-renowned specialists in the fields of economic geography, urban and regional economics, and regional development, with consistent scientific activity in academia, government and international organizations; as specified in the Acknowledgements section, some of the arguments and findings of the book also draw on the authors' related projects, which increase the scientific and practical value of the book, especially since research in this specific field of ‘left behind’ places/regions is not abundant. Researching these types of places is a never-ending task, and the scope of this book is to understand ‘the economic predicament of “left behind places” and how their weaknesses have been shaped by changes in the national and international economy, deindustrialization and the transition to service-dominated economies’ (p. 5). The research focuses on the economic experiences of different types of ‘left behind places’ in the United Kingdom (UK), but, as the authors specify, many of the findings and arguments are also relevant for other countries. Another particularity is that the key features of urban and regional institutions and policies are reviewed to understand more the persistent geographical economic inequalities in the UK. The audience of the book is not explicitly mentioned, but it can be deduced that it is the UK government (p. 9). Unlike many other books that are edited, this book is authored and this particularity contributes to the homogeneity of its content; this is demonstrated through the rigorous and interesting analysis made through the logical succession of its six chapters, which start with an overview of the field and basic definitions and go through the understanding of the context until the role of policies and the institutions.

Regional peripheralisation has been repeatedly described as a process resulting in the combination of regional structural and social disadvantage. In theory, peripheries are characterised by the interdependence of these two types of disadvantage. Few studies have examined this interdependence in rural peripheries across several countries. In this study, we operationalise rural peripherality combining poor opportunity structures that constrain the social and economic opportunities of the local population, and increased concentrations of social disadvantage and decreased quality of life. Comparing Czech and eastern German regions, we uncovered intercorrelated spatial patterns of low education, poor employment quality, deficient labour market opportunity and accessibility to medical, educational and other services, which together represent key aspects of rural peripherality from the perspective of disadvantage. Although there is a clear coincidence of structural and social disadvantage in rural peripheries, neither increased levels of poverty nor long‐term unemployment are typical of these areas.

Abstract Platform‐mediated short‐term rentals (STRs) are a relatively new addition to the housing landscape, providing accommodation on a temporal scale that falls between hotel stays and long‐term rentals (LTRs). Given the potential for STR hosts to charge significantly higher nightly rates for the same property than they might through an LTR lease enumerated in months or years, many have asked whether a ‘gap’ exists between the two, and how persistent this may be over space and time. In this paper, we modify and validate classical bid–rent theory to investigate spatial variation in the rent gap between STRs and LTRs over time in two distinct contexts in Queensland, Australia. We conduct statistical analyses on STR data against LTR data from local property records in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, identifying a significant rent gap, particularly close to high‐amenity areas. We find strong evidence of distance decay in the rent gap, with rents converging with increasing distance in most cases, indicating that STRs only ‘outcompete’ LTRs near high‐amenity areas, which in this analysis are the central business districts (Brisbane) and the beach (Sunshine Coast). We also find that the rent gap increases as properties get larger in size, and over time. These findings carry implications for policy aiming to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders and political agendas against planning frameworks prescribing where short‐term accommodation is best situated.

Abstract This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the investment flows from Greek to Bulgarian regions against the context of COVID‐19. Employing a mixed research method, it investigates the initial impact of COVID‐19 on regional FDI flows from Greece to Bulgaria and intends to explore to which extent the pandemic acts as an impediment to firm relocation, by examining regional investment flows from 2013 to 2020. The effects of the COVID‐19 macroeconomic shock are placed in the context of the existing conditions shaped by the 2008 global economic crisis. The paper also attempts to provide a critical insight of factors underlying investment flows. The results indicate that there was a limited investment halt but no disinvestment from the Greek to Bulgarian regions in the first year of the COVID‐19 outbreak. Low and stable taxation, cheap labour and efficient regulatory regime attract Greek investments in Bulgaria.

Low and stable taxation, cheap labour and efficient regulatory regime attract Greek investments in Bulgaria.","PeriodicalId":23136,"journal":{"name":"Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135304911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Abstract This commentary on Kath Browne and Catherine Nash's paper ‘From hegemonic to where?' , considers the ‘between‐ness’ and precarious ephemerality of queer life at the precipice of apocalypse. Substantively, the commentary critically addresses three of Browne and Nash's key themes, which they develop according to a queer ontology. These are: (a) temporality, and the notions of nonlinearity and reversibility; (b) the unsteadiness and precarity of ‘between‐ness’ and the radical openness it allows; and finally, (c) the complex and dynamic, sometimes contradictory, understandings and positionalities of [hetero]activism and resistances. This commentary lauds Browne and Nash's significant contribution to greater understandings of these socio‐cultural complexities. The paper demonstrates poignantly how a queer framework can broaden understanding of hegemony and marginality; power, spatiality and gender; and the negotiation of intersectional identities. The commentary also offers a few provocations about just how much room the blurry ‘in‐between’ can be given at this critical socio‐political moment.
