The mechanism of urban-rural integrated development based on the “population-land-capital” factor flow: A case study of Jiangxi Province by YANG Jie, GE Dazhuan, SUN Pan, YUAN Ziyi

“…[Results] (1) The overall urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province exhibited an upward trend from 2000 to 2020, transitioning from relying on urban-rural ecological space development to achieving balance in economy, society, and ecology. (2) The urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province displayed significant geographical differences, with the economic integration level in northern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi; the social integration level in northern Jiangxi exceeding southern Jiangxi and central Jiangxi; and the ecological integration level in southern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and northern Jiangxi. (3) The flow of population factor, land factor, and capital factor all exhibited significant positive effects on urban-rural integrated development in Jiangxi Province, with population factor flow having the greatest driving effect. (4) Urban-rural factor flow can continuously optimize the urban-rural relationship, generating diffusion effects and spatial spillover effects, fostering the ongoing reconstruction and integration of urban and rural spaces in Jiangxi Province. …”

L’abdication du Congrès après le 11 septembre : crise constitutionnelle ou politique ? by Maya KANDEL

“…With other methods, vice-president Dick Cheney, the chief artisan of this expansion of the president’s powers, was particularly skillful in taming Congress by his stranglehold on Republican lawmakers – and most notably his attendance at the Republican Caucus’ weekly strategy sessions on Capitol Hill.All this has led many commentators to speak of a constitutional crisis and of an executive branch less accountable than at any time in modern American history.The depth of Congress’ deference certainly reflected the enormity of the attacks, the belief that lawmakers should defer to strong presidential leadership in times of national crisis, and a conscious and thorough effort on the part of some of President Bush’s closest advisers. …”
