Earthscan Food and Agriculture

China has a rapidly expanding organic agriculture and food sector, and there is a revolution in ecological food and ethical eating in China's cities. This book shows how social, economic, cultural and environmental conditions have converged to shape the development of both a 'formal' and 'informal' organic sector.

Routledge Perspectives on Development

In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the relationship between migration and development. In particular, there has been much excitement about the potential for migration to make a positive contribution to development and concern about ensuring that development reduces the need for people to migrate. The ensuing 'buzz' has created much discussion but it is often surrounded by conceptual confusion and simplistic analyses. This volume will introduce the reader to the debates about migration and development and provide a critical overview drawing on insights from case studies of particularly migration practices, development interventions and policy initiatives from different regions of the world. The text begins by situating the recent burst of interest in broader historical currents of development discourse, examining some of the intellectual and political factors that have brought it to the surface now. It introduces the main elements of migration theory as it has been applied in the developing regions of the world, before presenting the theories proposing causal relationships between migration and development. The book will then explore these interactions in more detail by focusing on some of the key concepts that underpin much of the discussion, in particular remittances, diasporas and human capital. A central argument of the book will be that migration must be seen as intimately related to development and change rather than as a symptom of development failure. An exception is perhaps provided with the movement of refugees and other forced migrants and a chapter will examine the extent to which it is helpful to distinguish forced and voluntary migration in relation to development. The final section will critically review how the migration and development discourse has been adopted by policy makers in a range of initiatives. The book will conclude by reflecting on how the development and migration debate remains incoherent and contradictory in many respects. It will argue that migration brings a challenge to sedentary notion of development that has yet to be taken seriously by development scholars. Each chapter will include case studies from different parts of the world to illustrate the points being made. In contrast to much of the current literature on migration and development, each chapter will consider both internal and international migration

Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

This book seeks to document, analyze, and interpret the transformation of contemporary Chinese economy. Its content is divided into 5 categories: state official visions, basic systems, concrete institutions, actual economic development, and interaction with the world economy. This book serves both as a handbook for scholars and a textbook for students. As a handbook, it seeks to provide scholars detailed and up-to-date source materials of major aspects of the Chinese economy - relevant statistical data, and highlights of official policy documents, laws and regulations, and communiqués. As a textbook, it seeks to inform students of the salient characteristics and overall character of Chinese economic transformation - with an emphasis on both accessibility and analytical depth.
