The Relationship

This article examines the relationship between the type of household registration and the type of and reasons for migration in China. The results suggest agricultural registration is clearly a deterrent to permanent migration, but it makes no difference with respect to temporary migration. Permanent migrants with agricultural registration predominantly move for noneconomic reasons, but those with nonagricultural registration are more likely motivated by economic reasons. The pattern is reversed in temporary migration. A key to understanding individual migration behavior is to understand household registration and its function as the intermediary through which the government exercises its control over migration. But what accounts for the new patterns of spatial mobility are the changing market conditions associated with economic reforms.

Regime Transitions

Among the arguments for rapid economic reform in transitions to the market in Central and Eastern Europe, scholars have argued that rapid reformers could better take advantage of the period of ‘extraordinary politics’ at the beginning of the transition. Regime transitions provide a unique opportunity for politicians to implement economic reform since the public is more likely to grant the government room to reform. If the public is more likely to give politicians this window of opportunity, politicians should implement far-reaching reforms during that period. I test two propositions in this paper: (1) politicians in office during a period of liberalization will get high positive ratings at the polls which will gradually deplete over time; and (2) at the beginning of the transition, views of the current economic situation will not predict views of politics. I find that approval of the Polish government was unusually high in the first one and one-half to two years of the Polish transition. In the same period, assessments of the current economic situation only weakly affected assessments of politics. After the period of extraordinary politics comes to an end, the relationship between political and economic assessments is much stronger. Thus, in a country with a harsh economic reform program and six contentious national elections within eight years, there is strong evidence that politicians benefited from a period of extraordinary politics at the beginning of the regime.

Significance The trial comes amid an escalating crackdown against domestic opposition forces. The crackdown has been presented as a response to Iranian-backed subversion, but the government also has grounds for concern about popular discontent at worsening economic conditions, particularly among the country's Shia majority. Impacts Unpopular fiscal adjustments alone are unlikely to prompt major civil unrest, but could reinforce the Shia community's sense of exclusion. Hardliners are likely to intensify the crackdown further as economic reforms target allied business interests. The crown prince has a chance to rebuild influence on the back of economic reform, but hardliners will continue to dominate. Bahrain's dependence on Saudi Arabia for financial and security support will increase, although Riyadh faces formidable challenges itself.

Over Time

The Vietnam's Party and Government have issued many guidelines, policies, and laws on the migration of ethnic minorities. These guidelines and views of the Party as well as the Government's policies and laws are truly accurate and have been perfected over time. However, they still had a certain limitation in the period before 1990. Policies on destinations and household registration have affected the prevention of migration, including ethnic minority migration. Access to the "rights" of the people thus has not been recognized and properly addressed. On the basis of the research results of the project "Migration of ethnic minorities: Issues and solutions", the author discussed the approach on "rights" and some remarks about migration in general and migration of ethnic minorities in particular as well as proposed some policies on the migration of ethnic minorities in the future. It is hopeful that the author's recommendations and proposals will be researched and referenced by the Party, the Government and authorities.

This entry discusses the development of social work in Cuba since the revolution of 1959. It describes a community-oriented social work initiative created by the government in 2000 to identify vulnerable populations and to address their needs for support services. It also discusses a social work educational initiative begun at the University Havana in 1997. Together these two initiatives transformed social work in Cuba. This entry also notes that Cuba implemented major economic reforms in 2008 and it discusses the relationship of these reforms to the closure in 2011 of the two social work initiatives noted above. How social work will develop in Cuba in the future is unclear. Information for this entry comes from research the writer has conducted on the development of social work in Cuba over the past decade and from a review of the relevant literature.

A Company

Pepsi had been competing strongly against Coke throughout the world. In 1993, to gain an upper hand in a new market, Pepsi established a bottling plant in cooperation with the local government in Sichuan, an inland province of China. Sichuan Pepsi's business was a big success. The troubles, however, soon started. Sichuan Pepsi refused to follow the policy of allocating separate sales areas for each bottler. It compelled Pepsi China to reduce the price of the concentrate and was eager to produce beverages with new brands to compete with Pepsi. Investigations showed that the management of Sichuan Pepsi took many actions which went against its agreement with Pepsi. The company had transformed from a state-owned enterprise to a company controlled by individuals who formed the top management of Sichuan Pepsi. Both the local government and Pepsi China had lost control of this new cooperative. This case illustrates a special kind of risk in joint ventures in transitional economies: the privatization of the local enterprise partner through some form of management buyout. This risk is further complicated by the changing relationship between the government and enterprises in China, the guanxi-dominated institutional environment and continuous economic reform characterized by 'crossing the river by feeling each stone' which refers to Deng Xiaoping's policy of moving ahead with economic reforms slowly and pragmatically. In order to succeed in such an environment, a firm must be prepared to face the 'crouching tiger, hidden dragon'.

This paper applies a Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) method to the measurements and evaluations of Chinese provincial governmental productivity. It defines operationally the inputs and outputs of the government and governmental productivity in terms of eight indicators, and calculates the changes in governmental productivity with the DEA method for the period of 1985 to 2003. It decomposes the total factor productivity (TFP) into efficient changes and technical changes, and illustrates the characteristics of the changes in governmental productivity from periods to periods, and analyzes theoretically the characteristic patterns. It compares the differences in changes of governmental productivity among the different regions. In the processes of analysis, we emphasize the effects of administrative and economic reforms on governmental productivity, and the relationship between governmental productivity and administrative and economic reforms.

The Empirical Analysis

Rural economies in developing countries are often characterized by credit constraints. Although few attempts have been made to understand the trends and patterns of male out-migration from Uttar Pradesh (UP), there is dearth of literature on the linkage between credit accessibility and male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The present study tries to fill this gap. The objective of this study is to assess the role of credit accessibility in determining rural male migration. A primary survey of 370 households was conducted in six villages of Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Simple statistical tools and a binary logistic regression model were used for analyzing the data. The result of the empirical analysis shows that various sources of credit and accessibility to them play a very important role in male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The study also found that the relationship between credit constraints and migration varies across various social groups in UP.
