{"product_id":"9781938134098","title":"BREAKING OUT OF THE POVERTY TRAP: Case Studies from the Tibetan Plateau in Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides unique insights into the challenges and potential solutions to alleviate poverty in western China. Many people are interested in China's economic and social development; the development of Tibet is an important part of this narrative. Unlike big cities in the east of China, Tibet is still underdeveloped, with severe poverty, relatively poor communications, poor infrastructure, transport links, and limited social services. Using deep and well-researched analyses, learned Chinese scholars share their policy insights, experience and knowledge of the underlying causes and potential solutions to this underdevelopment and poverty. The reader is also provided with firsthand accounts of different people in Tibet, ranging from local government officials to poverty-stricken herdsmen. This book gets at the heart of problems faced by ordinary Tibetans, such as dealing with impacts of natural disasters, lack of education, managing ecological resettlement, and trying to prevent the transmission of intergenerational poverty. Looking at these issues from a theoretical, policy, government and practical perspective, \u003ci\u003eBreaking Out of the Poverty Trap — Case Studies from the Tibetan Plateau in Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu\u003c\/i\u003e covers the full range of issues in the development of the Tibetan Plateau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003ci\u003e(WANG Luolin and ZHU Ling)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rational Behavior of Tibetan Farmers and Herders \u003ci\u003e(YANG Chunxue)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Do Farmers and Herdsmen Participate in the Market? \u003ci\u003e(ZHU Hengpeng)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainable Development of the Tricholoma Matsutake Industry in Tibetan-Inhabited Regions of Yunnan, and Their Participation in the Global Market: Discussions Based on Value Chain Analysis \u003ci\u003e(YAO Yu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Socioeconomic Impact of Cordyceps Sinensis Resource Management in Tibetan-Inhabited Regions of Qinghai \u003ci\u003e(YAO Yu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpoverishment Risks Caused by the Ecological Resettlement Project \u003ci\u003e(JIN Chengwu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreventing Intergenerational Poverty Transmission with Antenatal Care \u003ci\u003e(ZHU Ling)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch on Compulsory Education in the Tibetan Regions of Qinghai and Yunnan Provinces \u003ci\u003e(WEI Zhong)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects of Radio and TV on the Cultural Lives of Farmers and Herdsmen \u003ci\u003e(ZHOU Ji)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrivate and Social Aid in the Eastern Tibetan Regions \u003ci\u003e(WEI Zhong)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnow Disasters and Relief Efforts: A Case Study of Tibetan Pastoral Areas in Southern Qinghai \u003ci\u003e(ZHALUO)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystems and Technologies for Snow Disaster Prevention: Anthropological Observations on the Pastoral Areas in the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau \u003ci\u003e(ZHALUO)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Undergraduates, graduates, academics and professionals interested in poverty alleviation and the social, cultural and economic development of Tibet, as well as the general public.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Century Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176273199344,"sku":"9781938134098","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938134098_p0.jpg?v=1763663037","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938134098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
