Abstract

This study explores a new governance mechanism aimed at regional integration and explains how this mechanism can achieve optimal governance of water resources through the division of labour in politics and the economy. This study adopts political economic geography as the research approach. The data used in the analysis were obtained from official documents, interviews and field investigations, and its authenticity was interactively checked via triangulation. The results show that ‘spatial shifts’ were the driving force behind water redistribution. The division of labour between politics and the economy eliminates obstacles to water distribution through the mutual adjustment and division of underground rhizomes; ‘creative destruction’ and ‘destructive creation’ are alternately used to achieve dialectical progress. This study concludes that in this case, the process of regional integration simultaneously generates circular mechanisms in which political power and economic productivity are consolidated.

为台湾半导体产业量身定制的水资源治理机制

本研究探讨了一种以区域一体化为目标的新型治理机制，并解释了该机制如何通过政治和经济分工实现水资源的优化治理。本研究采用政治经济地理学作为研究方法。分析中使用的数据来自官方文件、访谈和实地调查，并通过三角测量法对其真实性进行了交互检验。结果表明，"空间转移 "是水资源再分配的驱动力。政治与经济的分工通过地下根茎的相互调整和分割，消除了水资源分配的障碍；"创造性破坏 "和 "破坏性创造 "交替使用，实现了辩证的进步。本研究的结论是，在这种情况下，区域一体化进程同时产生了政治权力和经济生产力得到巩固的循环机制。

期刊介绍： Water Resources and Industry moves research to innovation by focusing on the role industry plays in the exploitation, management and treatment of water resources. Different industries use radically different water resources in their production processes, while they produce, treat and dispose a wide variety of wastewater qualities. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, the impact on the local resources will vary, pre-empting the applicability of one single approach. The aims and scope of the journal include: -Industrial water footprint assessment - an evaluation of tools and methodologies -What constitutes good corporate governance and policy and how to evaluate water-related risk -What constitutes good stakeholder collaboration and engagement -New technologies enabling companies to better manage water resources -Integration of water and energy and of water treatment and production processes in industry
