Abstract

This paper aims to address the issue of unsustainable and unbalanced development in Dabie Mountain region in China, by applying poverty alleviation ideas from Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in the United States. The issues lying under the mirage of wealth in Mt. Dabie region–the lack of a long-term plan for development and prioritization of political interest over economic interest are firstly identified. TVA’s solutions to these problems include planning a well-defined poverty alleviation strategy and designing a market-based nature. Equipped with the knowledge, the author draws the blueprint of Dabie Mountain Authority, which is a nation-owned enterprise incorporating market forces. The advantages of such model appear to be its efficiency (both allocative & productive), sustainability and balanced political objectives. The disadvantages of such model emerge in the potential issue of monopoly and corruption. Further studies can be made to explore the influence of such administration in domestic market.
