    Many fear China's accession to the
    World Trade Organization (WTO) will impoverish its rural
    people by way of greater import competition in its
    agricultural markets. Anderson, Huang, and Ianchovichina
    explore that possibility bearing in mind that, even if
    producer prices of some (land-intensive) farm products fall,
    prices of other (labor-intensive) farm products could rise.
    Also, the removal of restrictions on exports of textiles and

    This case study is one of six
    evaluations of the implementation of the World Bank's
    1991 Forest Strategy. This and the other cases (Brazil,
    Cameroon, Costa Rica, India, and Indonesia) complement a
    review of the entire set of lending and nonlending
    activities of the World Bank Group and the Global

    China has an ancient tradition of
    hydraulic engineering but in the past half century the
    intensity of exploitation of water resources has accelerated
    as a result of population and economic growth. The three
    major issues for Chinese water management are water
    shortages, flood control and pollution. The World Commission
    on Dams noted that since 1949 the number of large dams in
    China had increased from 22 to 22,000, almost half the

    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was
    selected as a case study because it is one of the countries
    in the region that has had rapid success in scaling up
    infrastructure in a relatively short period of time. Also,
    the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is seeking to attract
    participation of investors from the UAE into domestic
    infrastructure projects. The study also briefly considers
    the potential impact of the infrastructure development boom

    The next several years are critical for
    achieving lasting results in China's relatively new
    energy efficiency program for public institutions. Public
    institutions in China are defined as those government
    agencies, public service units, and organizations that
    either fully or partially receive government budget funds.
    In the study team's opinion, key challenges for
    China's public institution energy conservation program

    Amidst all the hoopla about China's
    rise, it is useful to remember that China is a developing
    country whose transition to a market economy is not yet
    complete, with institution building still underway. The
    uneven pace of progress is reflected in the state of its
    public sector, but in some respects, China s public sector
    looks formidable. Most often mentioned is the government s
    treasure chest of US$3 trillion in foreign reserves. Even
