Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development in Rural China
Series:

Editor / Translator:
Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development in Rural China is translated from the original Chinese to provide a look into how scholars in China have been assessing perceptions of poverty and reforms to improve conditions. This volume, and the others in the SSRC series, provides Western scholars with an accessible English language look at the state of current scholarship in China and, as such, does not simply provide information for the direct study of socio-political issues, but also for meta-level analysis of how the domestic scholarship in China is developing and assessing the interplay of the country's political and economic reforms with the society and daily life of its people.
“…A readable…and interesting set of perspectives on development, poverty, and the environment in western China...Overall, this volume will be useful for those seeking an overview on development and poverty in China, as well as China specialists. Given the enhanced quality of scholarship generated in China, western scholars—both China watchers and development experts alike—will benefit from the translation of more such research.”
"Most chapters provide a useful historical context and incisive analysis, and apply expert knowledge and fieldwork."
