Conclusion --Acronyms --Glossary of Chinese Terms --Interviews --BibliographyKey to China's plans to promote rural development is the de-marginalisation of the countryside through the incorporation of rural areas into the urban-based market-oriented financial system. For this reason, Chinese development planners have turned to microcredit -- i.e. the provision of small-scale loans to 'financially excluded' rural households -- as a means of increasing 'financial consciousness' and facilitating rural de-marginalisation. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork in rural China, this book examines the formulation, implementation and outcomes of government-run microcredit programmes in China-illuminating the diverse roles that microcredit plays in local processes of socioeconomic development and the livelihoods of local actors. It details how microcredit facilitates de-marginalisation for some, while simultaneously exacerbating the marginalisation of others; and exposes the ways in which microcredit and other top-down development strategies reflect and reinforce the contradictions and paradoxes implicit in rural China's contemporary development landscape.Transforming Asia.MicroeconomicsChinaActor-oriented Approach.China.Financial Inclusion.Livelihoods.Marginalisation.Microcredit.Microfinance.Relational Approach.Rural Development.Microeconomics.332.00951Loubere Nicholasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut0DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996333143903316Development on Loan2065725UNISA
