Abstract

« J'ai connu la tentation du cliché », avoue le philosophe Alain Badiou en entrevue. Nous voilà rassurés : même les plus grands risquent de tomber dans les poncifs ou, comme l'expliquait Platon, dans une vision cynique et pauvre du monde. Ce livre pose le problème de l'obscurantisme lié à l'absence d'accès aux connaissances. Le lecteur est donc convié à une aventure de vérification. Des spécialistes internationaux de plusieurs domaines (santé publique, anthropologie, sociologie, histoire, économie) déconstruisent ici quelques idées reçues autour de thèmes très variés : sida, santé maternelle, reproductive et sexuelle, accès aux soins, offre de soins, environnement, nutrition… Le pari consiste à mettre en lumière l'importance d'une argumentation critique nuancée en examinant des idées largement véhiculées, c'est-à-dire celles qui ont cours dans le grand public. Par sa dimension éclectique, cet ouvrage est aussi divertissant qu'instructif pour lutter contre les clichés néfastes au progrès des Nations.

Abstract

The hub-periphery development pattern of the Guangdong economy, to some extent, is a miniature of that of the Chinese economy. The Pearl River Delta, drawing from its first-nature comparative advantages in factor endowments and proximity to Hong Kong SAR, China, and Macau SAR, China, and the second-nature advantages as first-movers in the reforms in attracting and retaining domestic and foreign resources, has developed into a regional economic center. This paper examines the pattern of inter- and intra-provincial migration and that of the concentration of production, to explore the challenges and opportunities for the success of "double transfer." The paper suggests a four-prong approach, to improve the business environment, support the realization of latent comparative advantages, increase the skill level of the labor force to support the upgrade of the production structure, and protect the vulnerable, to support the inclusive growth of the economy in Guangdong in a sustainable manner.
