However, underlying these achievements is a growing concern among policy-makers about the impact of the global biotechnology debate on China's agricultural trade. Like many other developing countries, it has now to address serious questions on the future of biotechnology in the country.

In relation to technology development it has a ‘first-world’ level of technical capacity. In other respects, however, it faces a series of challenges more characteristic of a developing country. These include managing a very large smallholder sector, limited administrative capacity in some areas, and a political system where there are clear limits on

This paper examines the actor-networks and key policy spaces associated with the establishment of these discourses, taking natural resource management policies, and institutionalisation of the SG-2000 extension programme as case studies. An emergent, and potentially challenging, participatory natural resource management discourse is also identified. Contrasting the regions of Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region (SNNPR), the paper concludes by arguing that, with decentralisation, differences between regional administrative and political cultures are key to policy processes, affecting the degree to which central policies reflect local concerns.
