Making donations work in crisis management
In response to public complaints about the chaotic management of donations during the emergency, the site of the first identified COVID‐19 case, Wuhan (in central China), underwent a contingent governance transition. And given the public complaints about the disorganized management of donations during the early stage of emergency management in Wuhan in January 2020, local governments initiated a minor governance transition in philanthropy, involv…

Crippled community governance and suppressed scientific/professional communities
The public governance of epidemic outbreaks faces great uncertainty. Successful governance is only possible with a competent early warning system, which hinges upon efficient production, sharing, and use of relevant knowledge and information. In this process, functional scientific/professional communities are critical gatekeepers. Analyzing China's failed early warning for the COVID-19 outbreak, we show that an epidemic governance system dominate…
The top-level design of social health insurance reforms in China
Health insurance was prioritized as one of the four key areas for reform in China's Health Care Reform Plan released in April 2009. The Plan aimed to expand coverage, enhance security, and improve payment methods, but implementation was sluggish. In 2011, the government announced that social health insurance (SHI) schemes had reached a coverage rate of 95%, but official statistics did not match the claim. Universal coverage is still an unfinished…
Health Care Regime Change in Urban China
has experienced a dramatic transition from a planned to a market economy since 1979. Within this context, the health care regime in urban China is now rapidly moving towards marketization. As in other economic areas, health care reforms have proceeded in a gradual manner, and the legacies of the old regime still mark the new regime. Sluggish and incomplete institutional changes have produced a distorted new system. While most types of health care…

The State Socialist Welfare System and the Political Economy of Public Housing Reform in Urban China
This aticle analyses China's housing reform against the background that a new housing policy has been implemented since 1988. The crucial point of the 1998 housing policy package is to stop the allocation system of state‐subsidized public housing. By changing this rule of the game, a major institutional obstacle to housing reform will be removed, and some unfeasible policy measures become feasible within the new institutional context
Market Transition and the Transformation of the Health Care System in Urban China
During the pre-reform era, a free health care system evolved in urban China. Uniquely, the finance and administration of this system were based on the workplace rather than on the state. During the dramatic transition from a planned to a market economy which has taken place since 1979, this free health care system fell into a financial crisis in the 1990s and thus has become an institutional impediment to the marketization and privatization of st…
Forging a Labor Market in Urban China
D uring the last two decades of the twentieth century, China underwent a dramatic transition from a planned to a market economy, and the influence of market forces on the allocation of resources in many economic realms substantially increased. One of the most important institutional changes involved in the transition was the forging of a unified national labor market. That change, however, proceeded at a much slower pace than did other aspects of…
Dismantling the Chinese mini-welfare state? Marketization and the politics of institutional transformation, 1979–1999
This article presents a systematic examination of the workplace-based welfare system in urban China. During the pre-reform period from 1949 to 1978, most welfare provisions in China were delivered and the majority of welfare spending was spent by workplace units. Since China's market transition started in the late 1970s, this workplace-based welfare system is no longer financially sustainable, and more importantly its functioning constitutes an i…
Beyond the Property Rights Approach
During the pre-reform era, Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) operated not only as firms, but also as mini-welfare states, providing employees with lifetime employment, inexpensive housing, free health care, and pensions. Since China's market transition began in the late 1970s, however, SOEs have had to bear increasingly heavy burdens for welfare provisions to their employees. The steep increase in welfare spending has not only eroded the bas…
Who was Mr Democracy? The May Fourth Discourse of Populist Democracy and the Radicalization of Chinese Intellectuals (1915-1922)
Democracy is a symbol of the May Fourth era, and one of the two cores of the so-called ‘May Fourth spirit’ that generations of Chinese liberal intellectuals energetically want to carry forward in order to promote the liberal develop ment of democratization in China. In an essay published in January 1919 to celebrate the third anniversary of the publication of Xin Qingnian (New Youth), Chen Duxiu, one of the intellectual leaders of the New Culture…
Cultural Intellectuals and the Politics of the Cultural Public Space in Communist China (1979-1989)
In China, the period from 1979 to 1989 was one of thawing and awakening. Moving away from the rigors of the "political winters" in Mao's time, Chinese society revived its diversity and vigor that had been harshly depressed for a long time by a revolutionary-totalitarian regime (Tsou 1986). One of the tremendous changes occurred in the cultural realm. In the mid and late 1980s thousands of Chinese cultural intellectuals, from well-known professors…
From permanent employment to massive lay-offs
As the reform of state-owned enterprises proceeds, a massive number of chinese Workers have been laid off since 1993. Massive lay-offs are rooted in the 'fullemployment' policy carried out in the state sector under the centrally planned economy However, the total number of laid-off workers accumulated to a dangerous level in 1998 because the chinese social wlfare system, which depended upon work units for delivering benefits and was limited to th…

Elitist democracy and China's democratization
This article examines how a group of Chinese intellectuals experimented with the western concept of elitist democracy in a Chinese context in the late 1980s. Drawing insights from western theories on political development and political culture, they argued that China's lack of a civic culture meant an elitist democracy would be an historically necessary and inevitable stage during the process of democratization. To implement elitist democracy in …
