Taylor & Francis Ltd The Differentiated Countryside Routledge Studies in Human Geography
Book SynopsisIn the wake of BSE, the threat to ban fox hunting and Foot and Mouth disease, the English countryside appears to be in turmoil. Long-standing uses of rural space are in crisis and, unsurprisingly, political processes in rural areas are marked by conflicts between groups, such as farmers, environmentalists, developers and local residents. Using an innovative theoretical approach based on ''networks of conventions'', this book investigates the ''regionalisation'' of the English countryside through a series of case-studies. These studies are based on a set of ''ideal types'': ''the preserved'' countryside, where environmental pressures are strongly expressed; the ''contested'' countryside, where development processes are shaped by disputes between agrarian and environmental interests; and the ''paternalistic'' countryside, where large landowners continue to oversee patterns of land development.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Eliminating Poverty Through Development in China
Book SynopsisIn recent years China has achieved impressive economic growth, and also made remarkable progress in human development. However, contemporary China is still faced with the great challenge of widespread poverty. This not only constitutes a barrier against Chinaâs pursuit of sustainable economic growth, but also poses a potential threat to Chinaâs attempts to construct a harmonious society in the future. This book, written by three renowned poverty-reduction experts under the aegis of the China Development Research Foundation - one of Chinaâs leading think-tanks - and drawing on the research of over twenty of Chinaâs top scholars in this field, examines Chinaâs efforts to eliminate poverty through development. It analyses all of the key issues, providing a review of Chinaâs past record in poverty alleviation, comparing this with the experiences of other countries, identifying the new characteristics and trends in poverty in recent years, and discussing the factors responsible.
