GEOGRAPHY Geographical Area 2.1. The People's Republic of China (PRC) covers 9,571,300 sq km of eastern Asia, with Mongolia and Russia to the north; Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakstan to the north-west; Afghanistan and Pakistan to the west; India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam to the south; and Korea in the north-east. It has a long coastline on the Pacific Ocean. There are 4 municipalities - Beijing (Peking) (the capital), Shanghai, Tianjin (Tientsin) and Chongqing - and 22 provinces, of which the largest (by population) are Henan (Honan), Sichuan (Szechwan), Shandong (Shantung), Jiansu (Kiangsu) and Guangdong (Kwangtung). There are 5 autonomous regions - Guangxi Zhuang (Kwangsi Chuang), Nei Monggol (Inner Mongolia), Xinjiang Uygur (Singkiang Uighur), Ningxia Hui (Ninghsia Hui) and Xizang (Tibet) - as well as, from 1 July 1997, the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Hong Kong, and from 20 December 1999, the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Macau. [1a] <> 2. Conditions in Jiangxi Province, PRC 2.2. Economic difficulties Jiangzi Province, located in Central Eastern China, is held to be one of the poorest provinces of the Chinese heartland. Population of about 41.5 million (1997), the provincial capital in Nanchang. Principle economic activity is agriculture. The average disposable income of each individual, per annum, is around Yuan 2,000 (£150). [13b] The city of Shanghai has started to run "hardship summer camps" for relatively wealthy urban children, to learn "discipline" from the rural poor, with the camps set up in Jiangxi Province. [10av] 2.3. The combination of poverty and agricultural dependence of the province has meant that the area has been very sensitive to the economic restructuring of PRC and current downturn. Three effects of this can be identified as a) migration out of Jiangxi b) a period of socio-economic re-adjustment, and c) measures taken by local officials and local reactions, with the three strands closely interwoven. 2.4. Migration There has been a long history of internal migration from Jiangxi to the coastal provinces, particularly Fujian. Jiangxi migrants in the 1990s formed part of the "floating population" of the coastal provinces, and seen as both necessary and socially destabilising by the authorities. [20j] 2.5. Jiangxi has been accused of being a "dumping ground" for people displaced the Three Dams project. There has been further displacement within Jiangxi with large scale dam and flood relief projects. [10au] 2.6. Farmers Agriculture, the mainstay of Jiangxi, has been hit by a spate of crop failures, haphazard flood / drought relief that has resulted in disaster for individuals, and general disenchantment with rural life. In August 2000, it led to a farmers' tax revolt, where 20,000 withheld taxes as a complaint against arbitrary local taxes.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A b s t ra c t The short story has been an important genre in 20th century Chinese literature. By its very nature the short story affords the writer the opportunity to introduce swiftly any developments in ideology, theme or style. Scholars have interpreted Chinese fiction published during 1979 as indicative of a "change" in the development of 20th century Chinese literature. This study examines a number of short stories from 1979 in order to determine the extent of that "change". The first two chapters concern the establishment of a representative database and the adoption of viable methods of interpretation. An important, although much neglected, phenomenon in the make-up of 1979 literature are the works which appeared in so-called "nonofficial" journals.

The project is financed by the German Foundation for Peace Research and is located at the Institute for Development and Peace at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The project aims at explaining different levels of youth violence in two post-war societies whose processes of war termination are regarded as successful. However, both societies face serious problems of post-war development that are closely related to the experiences of war and war termination. While Cambodia’s democratisation process is considered more or less as a failure, Guatemala suffers from levels of violence higher than during most of the war.

  • The Ideological Aims and Organisational Structure of the Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organisation and Its Place in the Sy
    Romuald Grzybowski DOI: 10.1476/bhw.2017.37.5 Faculty of Social Sciences University of Gdańsk The ideological aims and organisational structure of the Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organisation and its place in the system of education of a new man (homo sovieticus) Abstract One of the characteristics of the second half of the 19th century and 20th century was the tenden­ cy of young people to associate in youth associations and organisations. Some of them were creat­ ed spontaneously and their activity was illegal while others were created by the authorities of par­ ticular states, especially the totalitarian ones. One example of such organisations was the All-Union Pioneer Organisation, established by the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1922. Its strategic goal was to participate in the education of the new man, who was to become homo sovieti- cus, a higher homo sapiens variety, in the future. The Pioneer Organisation fulfilled this task by or­ ganising children in the school age (aged 9 to 14) and subjecting them to a systematic ideological and political training based on the Lenin or Stalin model. The activity of the Pioneer Organisation was supervised by Komsomol and additionally by the leadership of the communist party exercising power in the USSR. The structure of the Pioneer Organisation included groups, packs and cells. Like Komsomol, the Pioneer Organisation also had its symbols, such as the three-pointed red scarf that symbolised three generations: communists, komsomolets and pioneers, as well as a pioneer badge, a pioneer salute, a uniform, bugles and a snare drum.
