Is China Abolishing the Hukou System?
Tập 195 - Trang 582-606 - 2008
AbstractIn recent years, China has instituted a variety of reforms to its hukou
system, an institution with the power to restrict population mobility and access
to state-sponsored benefits for the majority of China's rural population. A wave
of newspaper stories published in late 2005 understood the latest round of
reform initiatives to suggest that the hukou is set to be abolished, and that
rural...
The Role of the Local State in China's Transitional Economy
Tập 144 - Trang 1132-1149 - 1995
All states have a role in development, but this varies widely. The spectrum is
defined at one end by thelaissez faireminimalist state whose role is limited to
ensuring a stable and secure environment so that contracts, property rights and
other institutions of the market can be honoured. At the opposite end are the
centrally planned Leninist states that directly replace the market with
bureaucrati...
A Factionalism Model for CCP Politics
Tập 53 - Trang 34-66 - 1973
Until the Cultural Revolution, the predominant western view of contemporary
Chinese elite conflict was that it consisted of “discussion” (t'ao-lun) within a
basically consensual Politburo among shifting “opinion groups” with no
“organized force” behind them. The purges and accusations which began in 1965
and apparently still continue, have shaken this interpretation, and a number of
scholars have ...
Central–Local Relations: Recentralization and Environmental Governance in China
Tập 231 - Trang 567-582 - 2017
AbstractRecent literature on environmental governance in China frequently
ascribes blame for China's environmental problems to sub-national governments'
lax environmental enforcement. Such research implicitly assumes that more
central control would lead to better results but, as yet, the role of the centre
in environmental governance remains underresearched. In the context of the
current phase of ...
How has Economic Restructuring Affected China's Urban Workers?
Tập 185 - Trang 61-95 - 2006
Using data from the China Urban Labour Survey conducted in five large Chinese
cities at year end 2001, we quantify the nature and magnitude of shocks to
employment and worker benefits during the period of economic restructuring from
1996 to 2001, and evaluate the extent to which adversely affected urban workers
had access to public and private assistance. Employment shocks were large and
widesprea...
Privatizing Rural China: Insider Privatization, Innovative Contracts and the Performance of Township Enterprises
Tập 176 - Trang 981-1005 - 2003
This article examines the privatization of China's township enterprises.
According to our survey of 670 firms in 15 randomly selected counties in Jiangsu
and Zhejiang provinces, more than half of the firms owned by local government
were completely privatized by 1999. The privatization process is striking for
two reasons. First, local governments almost always sold firms to insiders,
while in the r...
Promoting City Leaders: The Structure of Political Incentives in China
Tập 224 - Trang 955-984 - 2015
AbstractThe shift in Beijing's priorities to more balanced and people-oriented
development has led some localities to make more efforts in developing social
policy areas. By investigating the personnel institution, a political incentive
mechanism, this article aims to shed light on the structure of political
incentives in China and why local political leaders improve public welfare in a
non-democr...
Development of Land Rental Markets in Rural Zhejiang: Growth of Off-farm Jobs and Institution Building
Tập 180 - Trang 1031-1049 - 2004
We employ survey data collected in 2001 in Zhejiang province to investigate
patterns and determinants of land market development. Previous studies have
noted the correlation between growth of off-farm jobs and rental-market
development at the aggregate level, but failed empirically to demonstrate
mechanisms at the disaggregate level. Our analyses find concrete evidence at the
household level conne...
The Political Ecology of Pollution Enforcement in China: A Case from Sichuan's Rural Industrial Sector
Tập 192 - Trang 915-932 - 2007
AbstractThis article uses a case study approach to examine the processes and
consequences of pollution enforcement in an industrial township in rural
Sichuan. China's national pollution emissions standards are relatively strict,
but enforcement is the responsibility of some 2,500 Environmental Protection
Bureaus (EPBs) within municipal and county governments. EPB officials exercise
considerable di...
The Energy Situation in China
Tập 131 - Trang 608-636 - 1992
With a total population of over a billion people, China requires vast supplies
of energy for industrial and economic development. Indeed, in absolute terms,
the country ranks third to the United States and the former Soviet Union as a
producer and consumer of energy resources. Nevertheless, its per capita energy
consumption remains extremely low even for a developing country.
