The country's economic development determines the political and cultural status. At the present time, China's rapid economic development has greatly improved the country’s international prominence. Although China has high economic and political achievements, China's cultural soft power is still in a weak position. Cultural soft power is of great significance in improving the country's overall national strength and international competitiveness. Research organizations are an important part of the country's soft power and are of great significance to the strengthening of national soft power. Research organizations are the “peripheral brain” in the decision-making process of the government. National government agencies need democratic science in making decisions, and the adopted policy methods must have positive and effective outcomes on the people. Therefore, the national government agencies cannot achieve this without the help of research organizations. This resulted in the development and rising construction of research organizations. With the comprehensive development and construction of research organizations, whilst making progress, has also exposed several shortcomings. The construction of China’s research organizations requires various supports; especially the intelligence agencies and access to library information, which has a unique advantage in promoting the construction of research organizations [1]. This paper first introduces the definition, classification and characteristics of a research organization. It will also provide a preliminary understanding of research organizations. The paper will then highlight and analyze the problems encountered by the research organization. Finally, through the grasp of the advantages of the library and intelligence agencies, a solution is proposed.

In his celebrated study of American democracy written in 1888, Lord Bryce reserved his most condemnatory reflections for city government and in a muchquoted passage asserted: ‘There is no denying that the government of cities is the one conspicuous failure of the United States. The deficiencies of the National government tell but little for evil on the welfare of the people. The faults of the State governments are insignificant compared with the extravagance, corruption and mismanagement which mark the administration of most of the great cities'sangeetha.

This study gives an overview of geo-economic and socio-economic perspectives of Balochistan. The research methodology of descriptive analysis is used to highlight the objectives of this study on thematic analysis outcomes. The findings of the study show paradoxical themes that Balochistan is the largest and resourceful yet the least developed province of Pakistan. The major portion of population comprises of youth but not skilled enough to find decent works for livelihood earnings. Political awareness is present, but the government is made on the consent of governments formed at federal level. Economic snapshots reveal that resource-rich attributes of the province are associated with the lowest socio-economic indices across all districts of the province. The natural cum geo-economic importance and resources abundance have not contributed for socio-economic development of this backward province of Balochistan. Unemployment, low skills development, zero industrialization and socio-economic backwardness are main economic issues responsible for the lowest development of the province. The policy recommendations include the implementation of comprehensive development policies for natural resource development, human capital formation of its labor force, coastal area development, development of Gwadar sea-port, enhancing capacity building of the provincial government departments, rule of law, investment for socio-economic development and mainstreaming the local population in macro decision making for the development of the least developed province of Balochistan.

The article examines how reconciliation is perceived at the individual level. This particular case study analyses what types of reconciliation practices exist in Musha village and whether or not the inhabitants see it as effective ones. In an attempt to investigate the reconciliation definition from the local people’s perspective and to observe their community-level experiences, ethnographic fieldwork in Rwanda has been conducted. This study reveals that locals understand reconciliation in the same way as the government authorities proclaim. Data gathered during this field trip indicate the significance of reconciliation as controlled by the national government. As a consequence, the people are not able, and at the same time, are not really concerned about rethinking reconciliation in other possible ways. Furthermore, this concludes the fact that the central authorities have become able to peacefully construct the narrative of forced reconciliation, while social exclusion in the country still robustly prevails.

This is a reflection on the role and relevance of ODA to the collective efforts of the government and the people of South Africa in the reconstruction and development of a post-apartheid society. South Africa needs ODA; it needs ODA of a different kind; the effective coordination and collaborative deployment of the little ODA that comes into the country can play a catalytic role in South Africa’s transformation and socio-economic development processes.

In France, a framework has been drawn up by the National Assembly and implemented by the government, in order to get the best relationship between Andra, among others, and the stakeholders and the inhabitants of the towns and countries where disposal facilities or projects are or could be established. The main threads of the two Acts passed in 2006, being relevant to the relationship with inhabitants are the information exchange and the local economic development. Dealing with the information exchange and diffusion: • The Local Information Committee (CLI), for each nuclear facility, has been reinforced and a specific, Local Information and Oversight Committee (for the Underground Laboratory in Meuse-Haute-Marne) has been renewed. The CLI was in charge of a general assignment to inform and consult on nuclear safety, radioprotection and environmental topics. Now, since 2006, the nuclear facility’s CLI and the CLIS are able to order study reports, measures and analyses to experts freely selected. • Creation of the High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Safety (HCTISN). This new authority aims to inform, consult and debate about the risks relevant to nuclear activities and their impacts on people’s health, environment and nuclear safety. Andra contributes to the functioning of CLI in disposal facilities at Manche and Aube Departments, and CLIS of the underground Laboratory at Meuse and Haute-Marne departments. This paper will present these contributions and how Andra’s action helps to reach the goals of information and exchange with the people around its facilities. Concerning the local economic development, there are specific organizations or schemes, depending on the facility: • Local taxes contributions based on the disposal facilities activities as is usual in France. • A High Level Committee (CHN) and two public interest groups (GIP) in Meuse and Haute-Marne departments have been set up since 1991 and 2005. Andra is represented in these three institutions, but they are not funded at all by Andra. This paper will show the Andra’s involvement in the local economic and territorial developments. Within this general framework Andra has developed information and exchanges actions with the stakeholders and the inhabitants around its facilities. Examples of these actions will be presented also.

This study explores the process of economic development of Surabaya residency in the period 1830-1930 and its implications for the natives’ economy. The indicator of economic development is focused on export of agricultural and export-import activities of Surabaya in 1830-1930. The natives’ economic progress will be seen at the level of their income. The minimum standard used to measure the level of prosperity is the per year income of a native.The rise and decline of the Surabaya economy during the period of Cultivation System and the liberal period can be observed from the export of agricultural products and the value of the foreign trade surplus. The highest value of foreign trade surplus in the Cultivation System period occurred in 1850s. At that time the overall value of foreign trade surplus of Surabaya showed was 0.54 per cent. The highest foreign trade surplus in liberal period was 0.96 per cent which occurred in 1920, when the price of sugar was rapidly increasing. The implication of the economic development of Surabaya for the native can also be differentiated between the period of the Cultivation System and the liberal period.  In the period of the Cultivation System the economic condition of people was really miserable, especially in sugar cane plantation areas. The hardship of the people in Surabaya was describe by the nineteenth-century historian Hageman as temporary slavery (tijdelijke slavernij). The economic condition of the people in Surabaya in liberal period can be considered prosperous, especially after the abolishment of the compulsory work. In the city of Surabaya which was the capital city of the residency, as a result of the expansion of trading, shipping and industry, employment was abundant and the people became prosperous too. After 1870 a skilled laborer (tukang) in the capital city of Surabaya received an income of 1.00- 1.50 guilders per day. The depression of the people resurfaced when the economic crisis hit 1930s. As a result, much investment went bankrupt. In addition, a number of development projects of the government had to be stopped which resulted in increasing unemployment.

Kecamatan Jatinangor saat ini dikenal dengan kawasan pendidikan berkat hadirnya beberapa Universitas maupun institut skala nasional seperti, UNPAD, ITB, IPDN, dan IKOPIN. Desa Cikeruh sendiri merupakan salah satu dari delapan desa yang terdapat di Jatinangor, keberadaan kampus-kampus tersebut yang sangat dekat dengan Desa Cikeruh turut mempengaruhi perkembangan sosial dan ekonomi di Desa Cikeruh. Masyarakat Desa Cikeruh memiliki mata pencaharian yang hampir merata di sektor wirausaha, pertanian, jasa, dan transportasi. Adapun sebagian produk-produk yang dihasilkan meliputi makanan ringan, yakni kripik pangsit, yoghurt, dan rengginang. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh masyarakat yang berwirausaha berupa kurangnya pengetahuan dan pemahaman serta akses untuk mempromosikan produk-produk tersebut menggunakan media sosial sehingga mengakibatkan penjualan yang dilakukan kurang maksimal dan penghasilan masyarakat tidak berkembang. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut pemerintah setempat dapat meningkatkan potensi wirausaha masyarakat Desa Cikeruh melalui kebijakan mikro dan budaya, penyediaan fasilitas, memberikan pendidikan dan pengetahuan kepada masyarakat bekerja sama dengan kampus-kampus sekitar. Pemerintah juga perlu memberikan perhatian kepada para wirausahawan agar dapat menggunakan media sosial sebagai media pemasaran sehingga dapat mengekspansi pasar lebih luas yang pada akhirnya akan membantu perekonomian masyarakat Desa Cikeruh. Jatinangor district is currently known as an educational area due to the presence of several universities and national scale institutes such as UNPAD, ITB, IPDN, and IKOPIN. Cikeruh Village itself is one of eight villages located in Jatinangor, the existence of these universities which are very close to Cikeruh Village also influenced the social and economic development of Cikeruh Village. The people of Cikeruh Village have almost equal livelihoods in the entrepreneurship, agriculture, services and transportation sectors. Some of the products produced include snacks, namely dumpling chips, yogurt, and rengginang. Problems experienced by entrepreneurs are in the form of lack of knowledge and understanding as well as access to promote these products using social media resulting in sales that are made less than the maximum and the income of the community is not developing. Therefore, the entrepreneurial potential needs to be increased using digital-based marketing or through online media. Digital-based marketing using social media is one of the effective potential in promoting business quickly, easily, and cheaply. In this case, the local government can increase the entrepreneurial potential of the Cikeruh Village community through micro and cultural policies, the provision of supporting facilities, as well as providing education and knowledge to the community in collaboration with surrounding universities. The government also needs to pay attention to entrepreneurs in order to be able to use social media as a marketing medium so that it can expand the wider market which will ultimately help the economy of the Cikeruh Village community.

The objective of this study was to examine industrialization in Tanzania and the need to include the disadvantaged people in the development process. This study used a documentary review methodology. The study found that although industrialization is key to economic growth, if not properly managed, it tends to marginalize the poor people. This calls for social inclusion policy measures. The study, therefore, recommends that, if industrialization is to benefit the disadvantaged, agriculture, which employs the majority of the people, should be industrialized. Further, since the benefits of industrialization may not necessarily accrue to the poor, the above need to be accompanied by conscious efforts of the government and the private sector to provide social and economic services to the disadvantaged poor. Keywords: Industrialization; Social Inclusion; Butter & Bread vs. Yeast & Bread; Economic Growth vs. Economic Development
