Rural Transformations and Development - China in Context : The Everyday Lives of Policies and People PDF
Edited by Norman Long, Jingzhong Ye, Yihuan Wang
Description
This unique book explores the varied perspectives on contemporary processes of rural transformation and policy intervention in China.
The expert contributors combine a critical review of current theoretical viewpoints and global debates with a series of case studies that document the specificities of China`s pathways to change.
Central issues focus on the dynamics of state-peasant encounters; the diversification of labour and livelihoods; out-migration and the blurring of rural and urban scenarios; the significance of issues of `value` and `capital` and their gender implications; land ownership and sustainable resource management; struggles between administrative cadres and local actors; and the dilemmas of `participatory` development. Rural Transformations and Development - China in Context will prove a fascinating and stimulating read for academics and researchers in the areas of Asian studies, development and agriculture, and public policy.
