       Gu, Xuebin & Zhang, Heqing & Yang Xicong·     ·

Abstract: This ethnographic story is an account of what we heard and experienced during fieldwork in 2001 in a Zhuang village in the mountainous region of southwest China. It aims to decipher the formation of local economy in the post-reform China through focusing on the state economic intervention and villagers' negotiation， accommodation and resistance in shaping the local economic development.

Analysis on the Restriction Factors of the Existing and Development of NGO in China                                                                                                    Deng, Liya & Wang Jinhong·     · 

Abstract：The NGO is a new kind of organization appeared in China along with the reform.. They exist outside of  the system and their development depend　on two factors: system and social resource. The institute  controls the maid distribution method of resource and restricts the behavior of organization by laws. It is the change of system and the free resource released that make the existence of Chinese NGOs possible. But the old system and those restrictive laws hold them back from further development. Social resource, including legitimacy, funds, human resource, government support, social cooperation and acceptance, is essential to NGOs. Chinese NGOs have to face the problem of their lack of resource and ability. Because they have single way to obtain resource and they cannot receive enough support from the government and society. In this paper it will try to  analyze  the affection and restraint that the two factors bring to Chinese NGOs, through the case of PanYu External Workers Service Firm in Guangdong.

New Strategy of Poverty Alleviation                                                   Zhu, Xiaoyang· ·

Abstract: The article firstly shows that the anti-poverty industry had made few contributions to the dramatic reduction of poverty during the period from the early 1980s to the early 1990s in China through examining the statistical figures concerned. The article secondly argues that the strategic shift of the anti-poverty policy from "reducing massive poverty" to targeting the poorest of poor is to normalize poor population management. The policy will induce rather than reduce more poverty. The article lastly explores an alternative of "development" through strengthening the grassroots communities and helping them to reconstruct their life world.
