Abstract:
At the core of this book, there is a central and primary question: who is poor in rural China? But to this one simple question, there have to be many complex answers.
The salience of this inquiry needs little justification. It is a vital issue in itself; but it also has wider strategic relevance. Did the benefits of the recent decades of explosive export-oriented economic growth touch the distant peasantry in Yunnan? New poverty reduction policies were expected to reach parts and people that this growth did not reach; did they? Local approaches are meant to be guided by local participation; are they? And, needless to say, what happens in China heavily influences the global incidence of poverty.
