This 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,
Breaking Out of the Poverty Trap -- Case Studies from the Tibetan
Plateau in Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu covers the full range of
issues in the development of the Tibetan Plateau.
