Аннотация:
Qinghai is one of Chinaʼs poorest provincial-level jurisdictions, least internally integrated and least integrated with the rest of the Peopleʼs Republic. Its social complexity and fragile environment repeatedly created significant political and economic problems during the first half-century of the PRC, which were then exacerbated by policies that rapidly proved over-simplistic and counter-productive. Since January 2000 the PRC governmentʼs new policy initiative to develop the Western Region – the call to “Open Up the West” – has provided the provincial leadership with the opportunity to resolve some of the provinceʼs long-term difficulties through adopting markedly different perspectives on development. A more gradual approach has emerged, concentrating on the development of the provinceʼs infrastructure and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, there remains a danger that in concentrating on economic solutions to the provinceʼs problems its inherent political, social and cultural contestations may be ignored to the detriment of the leadershipʼs wider goals.
