Agriculture and Food Security in China explains the background to China’s WTO accession and links accession to reforms beginning as far back as 1979. The book highlights China’s policymakers’ decision to move away from protectionism and gain self-sufficiency, and illustrates how China’s step away from direct participation in the agricultural sector to indirect regulatory involvement and liberalisation could encourage further economic growth. Yet not all economic growth is cost-free. Agriculture and Food Security in China explores the short-term impacts of WTO accession as well as the mid and long-term implications of greater market involvement at an economy-wide and regional level. Growing divides between coastal and inland regions - and differences in rural and urban growth - will require a better understanding of the consequences of greater market dependency. Agriculture and Food Security in China adds to the existing knowledge of China’s agricultural growth as well as the impacts and interrelationships between WTO accession and China’s participation in other regional free trade agreements.Agriculture and food security in China :what effect World Trade Organization accessionand regional trade arrangements?Agriculture and stateChinaFood supplyChinaAgriculture and stateFood supply343.087Chen ChunlaiDuncan Ronald C.1936-ANU E Press,WaSeSSUkMaJRUBOOK9910141800803321Agriculture and food security in China1927785UNINA03048nam 22006733 450 991013048850332120241204162349.088-6453-072-X(CKB)3400000000020117(ItFiC)it 02414259(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/43296(MiAaPQ)EBC31861584(Au-PeEL)EBL31861584(Perlego)3249889(oapen)doab82255(oapen)doab43296(EXLCZ)99340000000002011720101102d2009 uy 0itaurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCittà metropolitane e politiche urbane /[testi di] Luigi Burroni ...

The personal relationship set up with the citizens and the strengthening of the city councils has restored energy and stability to the action of the municipal administrations. Nevertheless, these institutional reforms, while important, have failed to guarantee <i>good government</i>. The effects of the mayoral reform are, in fact, considerably different from one city to another, and from one type of policy to another. What does this variety of results derive from? The book provides an answer to this question through an investigation of the decisional processes of around a hundred "local collective assets" in six large metropolitan cities. To explain the different outcomes – in addition to the "council effect", that is, the relevance of policy, and the "sector effect", the relevance of the different decisional milieus – the authors also underscore the role of the "governance effect", namely the different approaches to decision-making and building consensus on urban policies.Studi e Saggi SeriesCittà metropolitane e politiche urbaneEconomicsbicsscSocial issues & processesbicsscSociologybicsscSociologiaPoliticaCitt&agraveEconomicsSocial issues & processesSociology352314307658Carlo Trigiliaauth1781229Fortunata PiselliauthFrancesco RamellaauthLuigi BurroniauthItFiCItFiCBOOK9910130488503321Città metropolitane e politiche urbane4305992UNINA
