ABSTRACT A modified core‐periphery model of economic spatial relations is tested by an examination of U.S. corporate merger behavior from 1955 to 1980. A core, a number of semicores, semipheripheries, and a periphery describe the merger‐defined relationships between states and SMSAs. The core‐periphery structure is not stable across time and is related to the merger cycle.

First published in 1997, this volume emerged in the wake of China's Open Door policy. Qu and Green focus on the spatial aspects of foreign direct investment within China. They aim to locate FDI within a subnational context, with particular reference to the Chinese experience between 1979 and 1993. Issues explored include the philosophy, objectives and process of inducing FDI, the choice of cities and the country of origin effect.
