Study on Development Policies and Its Operational Organizations for Backward Areas in 80' China

Abstract

This paper places focus on the nature of development policies for backward areas and their operational organiza-tions in 80' China.
Inter-regional econcmic unbalance, especially poverty, have become a serious obstacle to the development and social stability. In this context Chinese government has implemented integrated backward areas development programmes. It is seen in their major features that the focus has shifted from relief work to economic comprehensiveness as well as basic needs, in particular to the poor, by way of participation. Furthermore, allocation and use of aid-funds have sys-tematically reformed from the viewpoint of efficiency. Financial resource has come to be distributed in package with innovative technologies and concerned services.
While successes in developing backward areas, there have been not a few organizational problems occurred. In re-spect of pursuing objectives, first, the conflict have appeared between the lead agencies, viz, government administra-tion vis-a-vis bank. The second is the adjustment of objectives between the central and the local governments. On the other hand, both town-ship and village-ship are institutionally required to smoothly channel aid-resources to benefi-ciaries at the bottom level, namely the poor, through their organizations.
