Rhetorical routes for development: a road project in Nepal / Campbell, Ben   Journal Article
Campbell, Ben Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Rhetoric is adopted in this paper as a lens to look at the claims made by a road-building project in a region of Nepal characterised by 'remoteness' and underdevelopment. The notion that the road connecting to the infrastructure on the Chinese side of the border will improve the livelihoods of the poor on the Nepalese side is discussed with a range of people in different villages along the proposed route. By attending to vernacular articulations of poverty and globalisation, it is argued that a method of rhetorical sensibility offers greater ethnographic value for understanding development's entanglements with social life than does the notion of discourse.

Road expansion and off-farm work in rural China / Qiao, Fangbin; Rozelle, Scott; Huang, Jikun; Zhang, Linxiu, Luo, Renfu   Journal Article
Rozelle, Scott Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This study estimates the impact of road expansion on off-farm activities in rural China. To achieve this goal, econometric models that capture the impact of road expansion on migration and local off-farm works are developed and estimated using individual data. Estimation results show that road expansion encourages farmers to participate in local off-farm work rather than migrate. In addition, road expansion also has a significant impact on the working time and income of local off-farm work.
