Informal entrepreneurship constitutes an essential source of income for women in sub-Saharan Africa. Research has indicated the importance of location to the productivity of informal enterprises, yet we know little about the geography of African women’s entrepreneurial activities and associated decision-making. This article studies how female slum dwellers in Lusaka organise their entrepreneurial activities spatially and how they justify associated locational choices. The study found a substantial variety in spatial arrangements although proximity to the home often took precedence over other business-related considerations. The ability to overcome or take advantage of geography when carrying out business was clearly bound up in wider relationships pertaining to gender, poverty and regulatory frameworks. Important factors contributing to satisfying business-related locational needs included a strong intra-household bargaining position, the ability to outsource reproductive work, social networks, access to financial resources and uneven regulation of space in the residential settlement.

非正规创业是撒哈拉以南非洲妇女的重要收入来源。研究表明，地理位置对非正规企业的生产力非常重要，但我们对非洲妇女创业活动的地理位置及相关决策却知之甚少。本文研究了卢萨卡贫民窟女性居民如何在空间上组织她们的创业活动，以及她们如何证明相关的地点选择是合理的。研究发现，虽然离家近往往优先于其他与业务相关的考虑因素，但空间安排却有很大差异。在开展业务时克服或利用地理优势的能力显然与性别、贫困和监管框架等更广泛的关系息息相关。有助于满足与商业有关的地点需求的重要因素包括：家庭内部强有力的谈判地位、将生育工作外包的能力、社会网络、获得财政资源的机会以及对居住区空间的不均衡管理。 本文以 CC BY 许可的开放存取方式发表：https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。

A growing body of literature addresses the implications of the ongoing rapid state-led, export-oriented industrialisation in African cities for a range of development concerns – e.g. labour relations, value chain development, gender relations and China’s involvement in infrastructural development. This study focuses on another important implication of Africa’s rapid industrialisation that has not been sufficiently explored – urban–industrial integration. Recent scholarship that looks at the interaction of urban and industrial development in Africa identifies challenges emerging at the nexus caused by lack of policy integration (PI). However, this literature does not address why this disconnect between the policy spheres arises or why it continues to persist. Based on thematic analysis of over a hundred qualitative interviews with key policy actors in the urban–industrial sphere, I argue policy fragmentation in the African urban–industrial nexus is driven by processes of ‘authoritarian centralisation’ that foster adverse political conditions for PI – more specifically conceptual integration, policy coordination and infrastructural integration. The study illustrates the relationship between authoritarian centralisation and PI and discusses the ways in which authoritarianism has shaped urban policy, planning and development and its integration into industrial and economic development strategies. The paper contributes to the nascent literature on the politics of urban–industrialisation in a broader range of developmental authoritarian African states.

越来越多的文献探讨了非洲城市正在进行的以国家为主导、以出口为导向的快速工业化对一系列发展问题的影响，如劳资关系、价值链发展、性别关系以及中国对基础设施发展的参与。本研究重点关注非洲快速工业化的另一个重要影响--城市-工业一体化，但这一问题尚未得到充分探讨。近期研究非洲城市与工业发展互动关系的学者指出，由于缺乏政策整合（PI），在两者之间出现了一些挑战。然而，这些文献并没有论述为什么会出现政策领域之间的脱节，或者为什么这种脱节会持续存在。基于对城市-工业领域主要政策参与者进行的百余次定性访谈的主题分析，我认为非洲城市-工业联系中的政策分裂是由 "专制集权 "进程驱动的，这种进程为政策整合（更具体地说是概念整合、政策协调和基础设施整合）创造了不利的政治条件。本研究阐述了专制集权与生产性投资之间的关系，并讨论了专制主义如何影响城市政策、规划和发展，以及如何将其纳入工业和经济发展战略。本文为有关非洲发展型专制国家城市工业化政治的新兴文献做出了贡献。 本文以 CC BY 许可的开放获取方式发表：https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。

This study delves into the multifaceted dynamics linking climate change and conflict on Hatiya Island, Bangladesh. Examining perceptions and responses to climate-induced stress, insecurity and potential conflicts, our research draws insights from literature reviews and focus group discussions. Despite the heightened stress resulting from unpredictable climate events, islanders perceive recent improvements in food security. They continue to struggle with periodic shortages and inaccessible health care and education. Many are entrapped in a cycle of poverty, debt and political marginalisation, further compounded by exploitative economic relations, power dynamics and government policies that intensify grievances. Climate change impacts are not perceived locally as an (immediate) threat: other issues seem to have more priority. Our findings emphasise the importance of prioritising social and political dynamics, alongside structural constraints, in understanding the climate–conflict nexus. This should not be taken to mean that climate change is irrelevant, though, as it has an impact on the bedrock of long-term poverty and distress.

本研究深入探讨了孟加拉国哈提亚岛气候变化与冲突之间的多方面动态关系。我们的研究从文献综述和焦点小组讨论中汲取灵感，考察了人们对气候引起的压力、不安全和潜在冲突的看法和反应。尽管不可预测的气候事件造成了更大的压力，但岛上居民认为最近粮食安全有所改善。他们仍在与周期性短缺以及无法获得医疗保健和教育作斗争。许多人陷入贫困、债务和政治边缘化的恶性循环，剥削性经济关系、权力动态和政府政策加剧了他们的不满情绪。气候变化的影响在当地并不被视为（直接的）威胁：其他问题似乎更为优先。我们的研究结果强调，在理解气候与冲突的关系时，除了结构性制约因素外，还必须优先考虑社会和政治动态因素。但这并不意味着气候变化无关紧要，因为气候变化会对长期贫困和苦难的基石产生影响。 本文以 CC BY 许可方式公开发表：https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。

This study examines the most significant development risk women at risk of being left behind in the SDGs implementation experience. It uses the photovoice method and the social amplification of risk framework (SARF) to highlight development risks in participants’ everyday lives that increase their likelihood of being left behind. The findings demonstrate that while the challenges faced by at-risk individuals can be complex, frameworks such as the SARF can assist in understanding the underlying socio-cultural processes that intensify the effects of risks faced by those vulnerable to being left behind. The priorities identified by participants suggest that aside from targeting the needs of the farthest behind, initiatives prioritised in SDGs localisation should also harness the linkages between the SDGs to optimise the limited time and resources available for SDG implementation. The findings are relevant to identifying strategies to operationalise the ‘leave no one behind’ (LNOB) commitment effectively and efficiently in developing contexts.

本研究探讨了在可持续发展目标实施过程中面临落后风险的妇女所经历的最重要的发展风险。它采用摄影声音法和风险社会放大框架（SARF）来强调参与者日常生活中的发展风险，这些风险增加了她们被落在后面的可能性。研究结果表明，虽然高危人群面临的挑战可能很复杂，但社会放大风险框架（SARF）等框架可以帮助人们了解那些加剧易被抛在后面人群所面临风险影响的潜在社会文化进程。与会者确定的优先事项表明，除了针对最落后人群的需求外，可持续发展目标本地化中的优先举措还应利用可持续发展目标之间的联系，优化可用于实施可持续发展目标的有限时间和资源。研究结果有助于确定在发展中环境下有效、高效地落实 "不让一个人掉队"（LNOB）承诺的战略。 本文以 CC BY 许可的开放存取方式发表：https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represented a key landmark in collaboration and shared agenda-setting to address global challenges across scales and geographies. However, despite initial optimism that measurable goals would support accountability and transparency in development, progress towards realising goals has been mixed. Global development agendas increasingly face challenges from the intensification of climate change, the return of populism and ethnonationalism, and a deepening of inequalities at intra- and inter-national scales. This article interrogates the priorities that must inform a critical post-SDG development agenda. To think towards this, we first explore three questions of the development agenda: 1) can development be sustainable? 2) Can development be delivered through markets? And 3) can development be ‘global’? To address these tensions and take a first step towards a more critical post-2030 agenda, we call for a focus on spatialities, multiplicities and historicities of development.

In the existing literature on foreign direct investment, it is often assumed that multinational corporations and their direct investments reduce institutional differences among economies. Building upon this assumption, those influenced by management studies and mainstream economics see multinational corporations as an agent that upgrades local business conventions to global standards. Geographers do not usually accept this convergence theory and claim differences among host economies prevents convergence in business practices. The difference between these groups of scholars is that the non-convergence camp acknowledges the resilience of local business practices while the convergence camp does not. The papers comprising this special issue question this shared assumption of foreign direct investment as a cause of convergence. As outlined in this introductory paper, and explored in detail in the following papers, we pay attention to the simple fact that the foreign direct investment is from a company or individual whose business practices are inherently influenced by their experiences of business in the nation or region of origin, and these experiences indelibly influence, to varying degrees, their local operations in investment destination. Once we accept such an obvious fact, recent debates on variety of capitalism and related literatures on the developmental state, welfare regime and other concepts all become relevant to understanding of the local operation of foreign-owned businesses.

Uncontrolled urban expansion is a characteristic feature of many cities of the global South. In this paper, we focus on how urban road infrastructure investments largely financed through bilateral and multilateral loans and grants inadvertently drive urban sprawl within the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), Ghana. To do this qualitatively, we critically review the 1991 GAMA Strategic Plan along with other related documents and expert interviews. Based on the findings, we argue that GAMA’s growth trajectory runs counter to its spatial plans progressively instituted to achieve integrated urban land use management and resilience. Consequently, this has resulted in mere expansion of road corridors without consideration for policy recommendations regarding traffic management, land use planning, housing densification and infilling measures. We conclude that initiatives for urban planning and its sustainability in the global South, specifically for Accra, need to reflect on the implications of the infrastructure turn, especially the contributory factor of road corridors expansion to urban sprawl.

The popularity of Korean dramas and pop music, known as Hallyu or the Korean Wave, has positively impacted South Korea’s tourism and cultural exports. Nevertheless, studies about Korean foreign direct investment (FDI) associated with the Hallyu phenomenon are still scarce. Thus, this study attempts to investigate Korean FDI that flows to Indonesia under such a phenomenon. Data was collected through documents and relevant video reviews which was then followed by a key informant interview. The findings showed that the rising trend of Korean pop music in Indonesia has gradually stimulated Korean investors to invest in industries promoting the transmitted Hallyu culture, such as broadcasting, TV and video production, sound recording and music publishing. Despite the amount of investment remaining lower than in the heavy and manufacturing industries, the study indicates an increase in Korean FDI in Indonesia’s content industries due to the high demand for Korean cultural content and the country’s ongoing bilateral commitment to South Korea. This study adds to our understanding of how global familiarity with a cultural phenomenon may affect FDI inflows to the country from which that phenomenon originates.
