No Worse off? The governance impacts of compensating for land takings in China
We examine the impacts of compensation not only on land-losers' \nsubsequent livelihoods, but also on distributions, governance and \norganisational capacity, social positioning, and ability to live the \nsorts of lives farmers value. The power of this encompassing \nperspective to reveal complex, far reaching consequences of \ndifferent compensation arrangements is illustrated by qualitative \nresearch in three wealthy jurisdictions that trialle…

This article raises the concern that a focus on boosting women'sdescriptiverepresentation distracts attention from other interventions that potentia…
Grounds for self-government? Changes in land ownership and democratic participation in Chinese communities
Do variations in land ownership affect people's democratic participation? Quantitative, cross-country research on this topic suffers from the non-comparability of regulatory systems and cultures, and the use of crude indicators to identify participation. This study attempts to overcome these methodological problems, by employing indicators of procedural and substantive participation in a structured, diachronic comparison of qualitative data from …
The Demise of China's Peasantry as a Class
Theorists of class have long predicted the end of the peasantry: Marx, Hobsbawm and Bernstein have all argued that in the transition to capitalism, peasants would be either transformed into individual specialized commodity producers (commercial farmers), or forced into wage-labour by fragmentation of their land holdings, and dispossession, debt and impoverishment. On the other hand, these theorists have been uncharacteristically ambivalent about …

Violence as development: Land expropriation and China's urbanization

Villains, Victims and Aspiring Proprietors: Framing ‘land-losing villagers’ in China's strategies of accumulation
This paper examines how debates in the media are providing the discursive conditions for, and thereby giving impetus to, diverse strategies of 'so-called primitive accumulation' in China. Taking as its empirical referent Chinese news and journal articles

Women's Property, Women's Agency in China's 'New Enclosure Movement: Evidence from Zhejiang
Who gets what, why and how, when Chinese villagers' land is enclosed? Focusing specifically on changes in women's property rights and drawing on data from Zhejiang province, this article shows that state, village and household institutions interact to produce significant gender disparities in both the compensation paid to expropriated villagers and the registration of ownership of household assets. Yet it would be incorrect to conclude that, disp…

This article applies Amartya Sen's concept of capabilities to explore how the government of urban expansion is affecting the generation of rural women whose villages currently are being enclosed by cities and towns. Drawing on interviews, press reports and government and Women's Federation documents fr…
