| Summary: | In this dissertation, the author goes inside some of China's most remote and poorest villages and tries to reveal the determinants, correlates and strategies to address the gap of existing poverty governance system and the complexity and diversity of poor population. He offers in-depth insights into what the poor people think about poverty with two major indicators, identifies evidence on the feasibility of duel-network embedding strategy to reduce poverty, and explains how diverse groups hit by extreme poverty could develop entrepreneurship relationship with diversified market and available social economic resources. Drawing on examples that take place in Xide County, a remote and poor village in Sichuan Province, Wenyong offers specific strategies that trigger trust, spark value, restore right, and drive positive change.
The rigorous analysis and consultation used in developing this dissertation found that commercial mechanism in combination with social assistance framework enable those deprived of rights for basic living and development to build up entrepreneurship by inviting and inspiring them to get involved in diversified market with promised investment through elements of cooperation among resources, assets and capital.
The author unearths the intertwined interdependent relationship between social and industry networks, which play a key role to mitigate extreme poverty so that the poor people could obtain knowledge, capability and resources through social assistance framework while practice industry operation and management in a diversified market. He identifies three key measurement deliverables as component of a three-dimensional model to evaluate to what extent this dual-network embedding strategy has reshaped the expectation and practice of poor villagers in the field of trust, value and right. Same model can also be adopted to analyze the ongoing situation and barricades that need to be addressed when coping with poverty reduction. |
