Springer Verlag, Singapore Rural Poverty, Growth, and Inequality in China
Book SynopsisThis book aims to empirically and theoretically study how the economic growth and inequality affected China’s rural poverty since China’s reform and opening-up. Apart from the trickle-down effect, some empirical researches show that rising inequality usually links with unfairly shared of the economic growth, which is not good for the poor, and this book particularly concerns with the impact of inequality on poverty reduction. In 11 chapters, it leads readers to review the dynamic changes of rural poverty in China, and estimates rural poverty by various methods, for instance, with analysis by monetary poverty (including income and expenditure poverty), multidimensional poverty, absolute poverty, and relative poverty. Especially attention is paid to apply the “growth-inequality-poverty triangle” model for long-term poverty dynamic changes evaluation. The book revisits poverty reduction strategies in different development periods for rural China and evaluates the poverty eradication achievements stage-by-stage under different analytical methods, in order to provide an objective assessment. Among the chapters, pro-poor growth, Shapley decomposition, poverty elasticity, density estimation, multidimensional poverty analysis, and policy simulation methods are applied for both national wide discussion and rural sub-group heterogeneity analysis. In addition to students, teachers, and researchers in the areas of development, economic growth, equity, and welfare, the book is also of great interest to policy makers, planners, and non‐government agencies who are concerned with understanding and addressing poverty-related issues in the developing countries.Table of ContentsPreface.- Chapter 1 Poverty Alleviation Process in Rural China.- Chapter 2 Literature Review.- Chapter 3 Absolute and Relative Changes in Rural Poverty.- Chapter 4 Pro-poor Growth for Rural China.- Chapter 5 The Decomposition of Income Growth and Income Inequality on Rural Poverty.- Chapter 6 Types of Economic Activities and Rural Residents’ Poverty Dynamic Changes.- Chapter 7 Human Capital and Rural Residents’ Poverty Dynamic Changes.- Chapter 8 Dynamic Rural Poverty Changes by Regions: Current Status and Prospects.- Chapter 9 The Impacts of Unbalanced Development on Rural Multidimensional Poverty.- Chapter 10 Relieving Relative Poverty in Rural China.- Appendix

The Chinese University Press Gao Village Revisited – The Life of Rural People
Book SynopsisAs an anthropologist and native of Gao Village, the author combines ethnographic analysis, personal vignettes, and a number of fascinating stories to present a convincing yet complex picture of how Gao villagers interact with the outside world twenty years after the publication of his original ethnography of Gao Village. With his sympathetic and insider’s approach, the author argues that rural Chinese display great entrepreneurship and inner strength of self-improvement; they are active contributors to China’s economic boom.Trade Review“This sequel to Gao’s earlier work about his home village in Jiangxi Province is an engaging and digestible short course on contemporary China’s rural economy. The anecdotes from observation and personal knowledge of the lives of Gao villagers reflect Gao’s critical, often wry perspective; some of the best chapters are those that profile the lives of Gao villagers’ entrepreneurial vicissitudes in a relatively unregulated market environment.” – Ann Hill, Dickinson College

Taylor & Francis Inc Rural Vietnam The Small World of Khanh Hau
Book SynopsisVietnam is a land whose features change dramatically within short distances--from mountains and high plateaus to coastal plains and inland swamps. To the south, the large delta formed by the Mekong and Lesser river systems inches forward yearly into the South China Sea. This delta, while hardly typical of all Vietnam, is one of the most fertile rice-producing regions of Southeast Asia. Its importance lies not only in the substantial contribution this area can, and will, provide, but it is also the area of most recent settlement by the Vietnamese. The study of its institutions reveals much about the prospects for social and economic change.The analysis of economic change in underdeveloped areas is beset with many complex questions: what factors account for economic activity? Among many signs of change, which are significant? How may one predict the probabilities of future economic development? Rural Vietnam: The Small World of Khanh Hau answers these questions for a VTable of Contents1: The Small World of Khanh Hau; 2: The Resources of Population; 3: The Resources of the Land; 4: Rice Production in Khanh Hau; 5: Secondary Farm Production; 6: The Marketing Process; 7: The Organization of Human Effort; 8: Productivity in Agriculture; 9: Village Expenditure and the Standard of Living; 10: Credit and Savings in a Rural Community; 11: Responses to Innovation and Change; 12: An Aggregate View of Economic Activity; 13: Economic Activity and the Social Setting

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rural Victims of Crime
Rural Victims of Crime offers a pioneering sustained assessment of the rural victim'. It does so by examining and analysing the conceptual constructs of a victim and challenging the urban bias of victimisation and victimology in criminological study. Indeed, far too much criminological scholarship is based on the false assumption that rural areas are relatively crime free and thus free, too, of victims.Providing international perspectives, chapters in this edited collection focus centrally on notions of place and space, and constructions of rural victims in a variety of contexts, exploring the impact that geographic location has on the type and prevalence of victimisation. The concept of victimisation is often considered in terms of interpersonal relationships between humans, neglecting the potent impact of victimisation of non-humans and the natural and built environment. Rural Victims of Crime discusses existing notions of victimology in relation to non-human
