The logic and empowerment mechanism of pre-event prevention of large-scale return to poverty under new endogenous development: A case study of Y ethnic village in Yunnan province

In poverty-alleviated areas, the endogenous development momentum and the self-development ability of the poverty-alleviated people are limited, and there is a relatively high risk of large-scale return to poverty. Taking Y ethnic village in Yunnan province as an example, this paper constructs an analytical framework for achieving pre-event prevention of large-scale return to poverty through new endogenous development based on the actor-network theory. The study finds that due to the existence of multi-dimensional internal vulnerabilities, ethnic villages have shifted to the "blood-making" new endogenous development driven by industries. By constructing four-dimensional empowerment mechanisms of politics, ideology, interests, and talents, it has laid the institutional, ideological, economic, and subject foundations for pre-event prevention of large-scale return to poverty and realized the collaborative prevention of multiple subjects. Thus, the coordination effect based on the network coordinates internal and external forces to enhance the endogenous development momentum of the village, the diffusion effect based on the network improves the villagers' self-development ability through aspiration-boosting and intelligence-enhancing education, and the sharing effect realized by the interest-linking mechanism ensures the inclusiveness of new endogenous development, ultimately achieving pre-event prevention of large-scale return to poverty. This paper reveals the theoretical logic of realizing the new endogenous development of ethnic villages by reconstructing the actor network, extracts the practical logic of preventing the risk of large-scale return to poverty through new endogenous development, and hopes to provide empirical reference for poverty-alleviated villages to prevent large-scale return to poverty.
