Description

Explore the changing landscape of Western China through Borderland Infrastructures. This academic work examines how massive investments in transnational infrastructure, including new roads and special economic zones, have transformed the region over the last twenty years. Based on long-term ethnographic research, the book looks at the tension between large-scale state development and local livelihoods. It highlights a significant contradiction: while infrastructure grows, small-scale traders find their historic strategic advantages disappearing under the weight of Chinese state investment. This study provides a deep look into how these developments affect local economies and people. It specifically addresses the struggles of small businesses trying to remain viable and the impact on local ethnic minorities within these rapidly changing borderlands. This is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the socio-economic shifts in Asian borderlands.
