With entertainment as its principle part, the cultural market began to develop in the early 1980s and became to be the first sign of cultural industries in Shenzhen. Some cultural enterprises developed in the background of the "Spiritual Civilization Construction" from the late 1980s to the early 1990s and printing, videos, cultural tourism, animation and cartoon started to grow up in Shenzhen. The government began to pay some attentions to cultural industries in the early 1990s and the scale of cultural industries in Shenzhen had grown up with the development of some important sectors. In the context of "Famous Modern Cultural City Construction" in the late 1990s, Shenzhen developed cultural industries further, cultural industries had produced economic benefits properly, the industrial structure had became pluralistic and the cultural industries developed intensively on a large scale, but faced many problems. Cultural industries in Shenzhen has met a new epoch since 2000 because of the implementation of the strategy of "Found the City on a Cultural Basis" and the orientation of cultural industries as the fourth economic support industry, not only both of its competitiveness and general strength and its economic contribution rate has enhanced a lot, but also cultural industries in Shenzhen leads mainland relatively. Some distinguishing features have been taken shape in printing, media, entertainment, cultural tourism, animation and cartoon, advertising, art and crafts, design, even though there are many problems and challenges in these fields. The development of cultural industries in Shenzhen could not do without the Hong Kong factor. Although the ideas of the development of cultural industries are different in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, they could cooperate closely. The "shop in the front and factory at the back" operation model had been and will still be the most practical cooperative model for two sides and printing, design, digital entertainment and cultural entertainment may be the most potential cooperative fields. In Conclusion, cultural industries in Shenzhen is moving from the fringes to the mainstream; cultural industries in Shenzhen had developed in a unique way; the general developmental level of cultural industries in Shenzhen still lags other industries; the development of cultural industries in Shenzhen has not been supported strongly by the whole society; the fundamental contradiction of cultural industries in Shenzhen is between cultural industries' economic attribution and ideological attribution and will continue to be the context of the development of cultural industries in Shenzhen; the government has controlled the upstream of the cultural industries chain, so the development of cultural industries in Shenzhen must take full advantage of the government resources; cultural industries in Shenzhen should focus on "industries" now; cultural industries in Shenzhen should take the Hong Kong factor seriously and make full use of it. / 王為理. / 呈交日期: 2005年8月. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2006. / 參考文獻(p. 244-268). / Cheng jiao ri qi: 2005 nian 8 yue. / Adviser: Kwok Siu-tong. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: A, page: 2711. / Electronic reproduction.

This thesis discusses whether participation in two voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) has improved the capacity of coffee producers to upgrade, and the extent to which it has brought economic benefits and reduced their exposure to risk and vulnerability. These debates are addressed using the Global Value Chain (GVC) perspective, including recent contributions that integrate poverty considerations, to assess the implications for coffee growers of participating in the specialty coffee value chain. In this analysis, particular emphasis is given to differences according to farm size. The study focuses on the Nespresso AAA Sustainable QualityTM programme and Fairtrade certification in Colombia, comparing the two treatment groups with a control sample of similar conventional producers. In addition to this, a comparison between two groups of AAA producers was carried out. The data comes from three rounds of surveys and two periods of field work. To assess differences over time and construct a robust counterfactual this thesis combines Propensity Score Matching (PSM) with the difference-in-difference (DID) analytic approach. VSS initiatives have been promoted as a way of improving the livelihoods of small producers, with extensive implementation in coffee production. The analysis shows that interventions to facilitate upgrading and support the involvement of producers in VSS do not produce consistent improvements over time for most of the indicators analysed. Therefore, the potential of VSS to generate significant improvements in livelihoods for certified producers, could take both a longer time and require greater institutional efforts to build capacities. This finding needs to be considered in light of strong institutional support for all coffee producers in Colombia, which could offset the impact of VSS support. In terms of livelihood-related variables, the analysis shows that participating producers became more dependent on coffee revenues (as there was no significant expansion of cash production), reduced their share of haired labour during the period of study and paid these workers less than the minimum wage. These trends are similar to those of the conventional producers, since the analysis did not find significant differences over time. The outcomes of the analysis by farm size draws a bleak picture for smallholders below one hectare. The main conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence is that the farm size constrained both the potential upgrading opportunities from VSS and their chances of gaining sustainable incomes. The political economy effects of these disappointing results, both for certified producers and producers thinking about certification, must be analysed carefully, as growers' expectations of improving their economic and social viability through the adoption VSS are lower than expected. As such, VSS initiatives cannot be the only strategy for helping very small coffee producers to overcome the structural restrictions and limitations they have faced for decades.

An examination of the evolution and development of Black small-scale manufacturers in the rural and urban areas of South Africa is presented. Within the context of the broader literature of small-scale enterprises the focus is on issues surrounding the developmental potential of small-scale entrepreneurs. The historical analysis of Black entrepreneurship in South Africa indicates that external rather than internal factors constitute the main constraints to the development of small-scale entrepreneurs. Discrimination by government emerges as the principal factor for the continued underdevelopment of Black entrepreneurship in South Africa.
