Economic Development
•
Economic development is the sustained, concerted actions of policy
makers and communities that promote the standard of living and
economic health of a specific area. Economic development can also be
referred to as the quantitative and qualitative changes in the economy.
•
Such actions can involve multiple areas including development of
human capital, critical infrastructure, regional competitiveness,
environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy,
and other initiatives. Economic development differs from economic
growth. Whereas economic development is a policy intervention
endeavor with aims of economic and social well-being of people,
economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and rise in
GDP. Consequently, as economist Amartya Sen points out: “economic
growth is one aspect of the process of economic development.”
Economic geography
Economic geography is the study of the location, distribution and spatial
organization of economic activities across the world. It represents a
traditional subfield of the discipline of geography. However, in recent
decades, many economists have also approached the field in ways more
typical of the discipline of economics.
•
Economic geography has taken a variety of approaches to many
different subject matters, including but not limited to the location of
industries, economies of agglomeration (also known as "linkages"),
transportation, international trade, development, real estate,
gentrification, ethnic economies, gendered economies, core-periphery
theory, the economics of urban form, the relationship between the
environment and the economy (tying into a long history of geographers
studying culture-environment interaction), and globalization.
Social networks
•
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social
actors (such as individuals or organizations) and a set of the dyadic
ties between these actors. The social network perspective provides a
set of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as
well as a variety of theories explaining the patterns observed in these
structures. The study of these structures uses social network analysis
to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and
examine network dynamics.
•
Social networks and the analysis of them is an inherently
interdisciplinary academic field which emerged from social psychology,
sociology, statistics, and graph theory. Georg Simmel authored early
structural theories in sociology emphasizing the dynamics of triads and
"web of group affiliations." Jacob Moreno is credited with developing
the first sociograms in the 1930s to study interpersonal relationships.
These approaches were mathematically formalized in the 1950s and
theories and methods of social networks became pervasive in the social
and behavioral sciences by the 1980s. Social network analysis is now one
of the major paradigms in contemporary sociology, and is also employed
in a number of other social and formal sciences. Together with other
complex networks, it forms part of the nascent field of network science.
