Years On, 20 Years On
Throughout Chinese history Guangdong province has always been somewhat different, of ten marginal to the interests of the Chinese state, and typically troublesome and unruly. After 1949, Guangdong was marginalized by the new Chinese government. Its historical commercial prominence was compromised and its role in China's foreign trade, was severely limited. The province was given an agricultural focus, and it languished for thirty years under the …

Global Local
This groundbreaking collection focuses on what may be, for cultural studies, the most intriguing aspect of contemporary globalization—the ways in which the postnational restructuring of the world in an era of transnational capitalism has altered how we must think about cultural production. Mapping a world space that is simultaneously more globalized and localized than before, these essays examine the dynamic between the movement of capital, image…

The Response to Rural Reform in an Overseas Chinese Area
Abstarct A major transformation has occurred in rural China since reform policies were initiated in 1979. It has been particularly dramatic in the highly commercialized Pearl River delta region of the southern province of Guangdong, provenance of most North Americans of Chinese origin. The delta region has become firmly incorporated into the global economy and its external linkages, especially to Hong Kong, have been central in the process of cha…
Tethered Deer
This is the first systematic, longitudinal study of the organisation and operations of Chinese government at the county level. Highlighting the contention-prone yet often collaborative relationships between county officials and the production units and administration above and below them, the authors open a window on the Chinese state and statecraft in the vast bureaucratic middle ground between Beijing policymaking and community-level politics. …

This primer succinctly summarises key theoretical concepts in fiscal choice for both practitioners and scholars. The author contends that fiscal choice is ultimately a choice of both politics and economics. The book first introduces budget institutions and processes at various levels of government, which restrict budget decision makers' discretion. It also explains budget decision makers' efforts to make rational resource allocations. It then sho…

The Production Responsibility System in Chinese Agriculture
THE HISTORY OF China's rural economy since 1949 has been marked by dramatic shifts in policy. After the initial period of land reform, the basic strategy for rural development was to expand collective production. It was argued that in China as a whole, the historical pressure of population could lead only to fragmentation of the critical land resource. Development was possible only through an administrative system that brought together land, labo…

And After
HONG KONG is, and always has been, a curiosity. It was born as a consequence of the activities of early nineteenth-century capitalists plying a trade of dubious morality along the south China coast. China's last imperial dynasty was simply unable to resist the incursion of British naval power support of its merchant adventurers. The Qing government was obliged to sign away (in perpetuity!) its right to administer a rocky island off the Guangdong …

In the context of Chinese history, thirty years is not a long time. But the period since the promulgation of the People's Republic of China in 1949 is as dramatic as any in Chinese history. The People's Republic came into being as a result of a peasant political movement. The rural experience is a key to understanding the success of that part of the Chinese revolution that culminated in 1949. And in the period since then that experience has conti…
