This article examines the impact of economic reforms on the volume and characteristics of permanent migration in Zhejiang Province, China. The data suggest that the new economic policy induced a surge in permanent migration during the post-reform years. Such positive impact of the reform on permanent migration has started to fade away in 1985, as government relaxed its control over residence. Moreover, market mechanisms started playing a more important role in employment, exchange, and consumption. The data also suggest that the new economic policy has particularly favored the better educated, and thereby increased educational differentials between permanent migrants and nonmigrants. For all other characteristics examined, the results show consistently that post-reform migrants are less differentiated from nonmigrants than their pre-reform counterparts.

This chapter examines the aftermath of the Bolsheviks' victory over both the Whites, or counterrevolutionaries, and all rival socialists. The Bolsheviks broke the military resistance of the Whites, crushed the unrest and strikes of the peasants, and even restored the multiethnic empire, which, in the early months of revolution, had largely fallen apart. In spring 1921, when the Red Army marched into Georgia, the Civil War was officially over. For the Bolsheviks, however, military victory was not the end but rather the beginning of a mission, not simply to shake the world but to transform it. Although weapons may have decided the war in favor of the revolutionaries they had not settled the question of power. This chapter considers Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) that would implement economic reforms, the Bolsheviks' failure to carry power into villages, and the dictatorship's lack of support from the proletariat. It also describes the nationalization of the Russian empire and Joseph Stalin's rise to power.

The economic reforms that were ushered in during 1991 have greatly contributed to the growth of exports in India. After pursuing, import substitution strategy for nearly four decades, India adopted export led growth strategy in 1991. The new economic policy removed all sorts of restrictions on international trade and investment giving green signal to FDI inflows. Consequently, India experienced significant increase in FDI inflows in the last two decades. This paper has two objectives. First, it investigates the trends of FDI inflows and exports in India during the period 1980 to 2011. Secondly, it attempts to examine the economic relationship between FDI inflows and export growth in India for the same period using the Granger causality test. The study found bi-directional causality between inward FDI and exports. Hence, policies attracting FDI should be implemented to further boost India’ exports.

Drawing on archival materials from the State Archive of the Kirov Region and the State Archive of Social and Political History of the Kirov Region, the article analyzes attitudes to the New Economic Policy (NEP) in the party organizations of the RCP (B) of the Vyatka guberina in 1921. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that the author draws on archival documents to investigate the attitude of communists to the decision of the X Congress of the RCP (B) to replace surplus tax by tax in kind (prodnalog) and other measures for the development of the NEP in 1921. It turns out that party workers in position of responsibility and ordinary members of the party, as a rule, understood and perceived the NEP in their own way, reading into it the interests and needs of different social and professional groups. Moreover, there emerged some ideological differences due to different understanding of the political goals of the New Economic Policy. For the first time in local historiography, the author has introduced into scientific use some previously unknown archival facts. The analysis of the archival material allows the author to conclude that the attitude to the NEP of party workers in position of responsibility and of rank-and-file members differed. If the “top” of the party discussed the ideological aspects of the NEP, the “bottom” members, as a rule, were interested in its practical orientation. There was no unanimous support for the NEP not just among the responsible party workers, but also among the rank-and-file members. The author comes to the conclusion that the lack of clear understanding of the nature of the New Economic Policy caused disagreements in the party ranks, which, in absence of the tradition of broad discussion of controversial issues, was fraught with danger of a split. The Military Communism ideology and low literacy (including political one) that prevailed in the party ranks did not promote good understanding of the new party course and its creative application under specific regional conditions. Critics and open opponents of the NEP faced “organizational conclusions.”

Examined is the historical experience of our country, which in the difficult post-war years took the path of transformations and reforms, later they became an impetus for progress and development. The aim of the article is to identify the reasons, conditions, results and results of economic transformations during the NEP period. Highlighted are the main areas of activity of the Soviet state in the framework of economic reforms during the NEP period. In the process of writing the article, the historical-theoretical method was used. In addition, general scientific methods were applied, i.e. analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, the method of an integrated approach and others. This article analyzed the economic reforms carried out by the Soviet state during the New Economic Policy and summed up the results of these reforms. In addition, the factors influencing economic transformations were identified, and the successes and failures that the Bolshevik authorities had to face on the path of economic reforms during the NEP were considered. The authors conclusion is made, that the results of the New Economic Policy include the emergence of financially independent enterprises, overcoming the state budget deficit, the formation of the ruble as a hard convertible currency and the formation of the Soviet credit system. At the same time, the NEP was characterized by the rejection of the harsh methods of war communism and attempts to establish market relations. However, the bureaucratic leadership, which did not accept this relationship, remained.

The article studies the concept of “general line” in the history of the Bolshevik Party during the second half of the 1920s. N.I. Bukharin first introduced that concept into the political lexicon, speaking at the Fourteenth Party Conference (1925). The concept fixed the basic idea of the new economic policy – that it was necessary to fight against two tendencies: against considering the kulaks as the main peasant force in the village and against ignoring the main figure in the village – the middleman. That notion had a debatable meaning – above all. It was actively used by representatives of the united opposition. It was not until the beginning of 1929, when the transition from the new economic policy to the methods of military-administrative management of agriculture was outlined, that the notion of the “general line” of the Party began to express the opinion of the Central Committee of the Party and the General Secretary personally. At the beginning of 1929, Stalin posed the question that any disagreement, even the slightest, with the “general line” of the Party in conditions of aggravation of the class struggle meant a “rightwing deviation”. Subsequently, the concept became the symbolic designation of totalitarianism.
