The "Wengzhou model" of development and China's modernization
Article Abstract:
The Wengzhou model of economic development might be more applicable to China's rural communities than the Jiangsu model because the former capitalizes on skills previously used during the precommunist era. The Wengzhou model derives its name from the Wengzhou municipality in China's Zhejiang province. The municipality achieved huge economic gains in the 1980s using mass initiativeness, mobility and marketing. Household industries, migrant workers and sales agents collaborated to produce and market items which were not emphasized by the central planning authorities in China.

Upazila development planning in Bangladesh: problems of resource mobilization
Article Abstract:
Insufficient funds and the lack of decentralization have hindered the success of the upazila system in Bangladesh. Since the central government maintains its control over the upazilas, local leaders have lost their enthusiasm on the projects for they had limited authority in the implementation of the development programs. Furthermore, resources were so scarce that competition was stiff among the localities. Unless adequate resources are provided and people empowerment is encouraged by the government, success of the upazila development planning will remain a dream.

The Philippines in 1992: ready for take off?
Article Abstract:
Philippine Pres Fidel V. Ramos' rise to power in May 1992 was viewed with optimism by some observers. However, after a year of leading the nation, the Philippines continued to lag behind its Southeast Asian neighbors. Although Ramos' decision on important issues such as law and order, the peace process and power shortage were definite, economic planning was not one of his strong points. Nevertheless, his efforts to establish stronger relations with other Southeast Asian nations and his promotion of people empowerment are worthy of commendation.
