The salience of this inquiry needs little justification. It is a vital issue in itself; but it also has wider strategic relevance. Did the benefits of the recent decades of explosive export-oriented economic growth touch the distant peasantry in Yunnan New poverty reduction policies were expected to reach parts and people that this growth did not reach; did they Local approaches are meant to be guided by local participation; are they And, needless to say, what happens in China heavily influences the global incidence of poverty.
