Research On Poverty Governance In Karst Areas Of Southwest China

"Poverty is the greatest violence".For many scholars and experts,the study of poverty is mainly based on academic interests and the aspiration of contributing to the society.For me,a minority student who comes from destitute area of karst areas in southwest China,poverty is more like a plague that rages me and the people around me.Poverty is not a cold,lifeless economic data,but hunger,sickness,helplessness,suffering,tears and death.Taking"poverty governance of karst area in southwest China"as the topic of my paper,it can be defined as looking back on a kind of life and seeking a way out of it,rather than studying a practical problem.Therefore,this thesis is always accompanied with a kind of expectation,outlook and simple passion.Both the poverty issue of China and the poverty problem of karst region in southwest China are the"reefs"on the road of Chinese nation.This study takes Marxist theory of poverty governance as its analysis view,and it shows the political wisdom,political courage and responsibility of CCP facing"reefs"and breaking the "reefs".This study can be divided into six parts.I did the research from international and domestic research on poverty to the discussion on what human society can do to put an end to poverty.The content and structure of the thesis are as follows:In chapter one,on the basis of existing research results,the author has the following views:existing concepts and definitions of poverty have failed to explain the poverty that we are facing;the existing research on poverty in southwest karst area lacks of comprehensive research perspective;the existing research on poverty in the southwest karst area is not open enough.For most scholars,they discuss the problems about what the southwest karst region can do to catch up with the eastern China,and how to narrow the gap between rich region and poor region in a relatively pessimistic or compassionate manner.Few studies explore the answer of what we can do to create and supply a healthy,ecological and green lifestyle for the whole country in poverty management of karst region in southwestern China from the perspective of leadership and transcendence with the perspective of leadership and transcendence.In chapter two,by teasing Marxist theory of poverty management,the author thinks that,one of the important contents in the Marxism Chinese is to solve the problem of Chinese poverty governance.Revolution and development are two stages in solving the problem of poverty.Revolution means the establishment of a socialist state,and it also means to solve the problem of ownership of capital goods.That is to say,revolution can put an end to poverty from the system.Development means release and develop productive forces.The revolutionary stage can be the reason and condition of the development stage.In chapter three,the author sorted the natural resources of karst area in southwest China from the perspective of karst geology.The author also made a study by compare southwestern karst area with Henan,Anhui,Hubei,Jiangsu,Zhejiang and Shandong,of which the total land area is similar to Chinese southwest karst area.The author made the comparative study from these aspects:income,food and clothing,housing,expectation of life,level of education,transportation and so on in historical and practical perspective to show the poverty level and the depth of poverty in Chinese southwest karst are.Due to the geographical location of Chinese southwest karst region,the special geological features,and in the absence of national economic and technological strength,this region became a national backward area.In a long time,the Chinese southwest karst region has been marginalized in both economic and social development,thus the gap between the Chinese southwest karst region and the eastern coastal areas has been amplified.In chapter four,the author used case analysis method.The author divided the poverty management in Y County into five phases,according to Chinese social development process.The author also sorted out the achievements and basic features in each phase of Y County's poverty governance.Since 2013,under the guidance of the poverty management theory of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,the poverty governance in Y County has been remarkable.In agriculture,the traditional mode of agricultural development has been cast off.The development of karst agriculture has been developed,and became a model both in theoretical innovation and practical level.In the aspect of education,Y County is marching the hundred strong county of education which was large illiterate county in the 1990s.In terms of transportation,the transportation of Y County has shifted from the productive traffic and resource-based traffic to the current people's livelihood transportation,tourism transportation and comfortable transportation.In terms of economic development,Y County is moving from coal economy to tourism economy and green economy.In terms of absolute poverty alleviation,Y County is expected to finish the task of poverty alleviation during the 13th five-year plan.In chapter five,according to the poverty management experience of Y County,the author thought that,to solve the problem of poverty in karst region of southwest China,we need to open up a pattern which is "different from the eastern region,different from the west".The development of karst region in southwest China cannot rely on traditional agricultural production,nor can it go on the road of industrialization with high pollution,high energy consumption and low efficiency.It is necessary to realize that the leap-forward development path is based on exploiting the advantages of mineral resources and the advantages of industrial backwardness to realize industrialization with minimal resources and environmental cost,and realize the advantages of tourism resources and ecological environment.President Xi Jinping pointed out,the principal contradiction that we now facing is the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life.Adapting to this,Chinese poverty governance will also move from the current stage of ending absolute poverty to a more long-term stage of relative poverty.In the absolute poverty management stage,the main task of poverty management is to solve the basic problem of needs,such as food and clothing,medical treatment and education.After entering the stage of relative poverty management,People's food needs,housing needs,education needs and medical needs have been basically guaranteed.The main content of poverty management will also be changed from how to make people live to how to make people live better and how to live a better life.
