The pursuit of new citizenship by peri-urban residents in China: Status, rights, and individual choice
Although China did not announce any official urbanization policy until 2014, since the 1980s urbanization has been the core goal of China's unceasing push for modernization and national rejuvenation. Tens of millions of inhabitants living on the fringes of China's cities merely hold temporary permits with virtually no political and social rights and only a modicum of public policy benefit in the cities where they work. The rights and social entit…
Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Space, Place and Struggle, written by Kathryn E. Wilson
Chinese consumers: The Romantic reappraisal
Drawing on evidence from Anshan City, Liaoning Province, the People's Republic of China, we argue that the recent commodification and proliferation of idyllicized representations of rurality, a trend that runs directly counter to the symbolic infrastructure of China's mass urbanization and industrialization, indicates a paradigm shift in Chinese consumer perceptions. We explore a theory of the 'Romantic reappraisal of Chinese consumer values', dr…
Food Security, Urbanization and Social Stability in China
Chinese development in both the planned economy and reform periods was determined within narrow constraints of food security, agricultural productivity and social organization of production. The reforms and their effects, most prominently rapid urbanization while ensuring food security also caused the loss of cultivable land to agriculture, environmental decline, and new dietary demands on food production. The institutional trajectories and dynam…

Chinese Women in Rural–Urban Transition: Surrogate brothers or agents of their own fate
How has the joint family structure—one of the basic institutions of rural organisation in China—been used by families in the transition from rural to urban reality since the early 1980s? During the 1960s and 1970s, the rural people's communes consolidated the role of patrilocal marriage patterns and the shared inheritance and responsibilities of brothers (both hallmarks of the joint family), while in the 1980s and 1990s, the joint family was used…

Chinatown, Europe
Is Chinatown a ghetto, an area of exotic sensations or a business venture? What makes a European Chinese, Chinese?The histories of Chinese communities in Europe are diverse, spanning (amongst others) Teochiu speaking migrants from French Indochina to France, and Hakka and Cantonese speaking migrants from Hong Kong to Britain. This book explores how such a wide range of people tends to be - indiscriminately - regarded as 'Chinese'.Christiansen exp…

Chinese Identity in Europe
When one seeks to understand the Chinese communities as communities, the issue of identity becomes paramount. Identity (meaning the characteristics that bind people together as a group) is evasive, and yet a well established concept (see, among others, Eriksen, 1993). Ethnic identity among overseas Chinese in Europe simultaneously reflects and influences their modes of social interaction. It manifests itself in how people deal with each other; th…

Chinese Rural Policy Between Social Change and State Planning
Flemming Christiansen, ‘Chinese Rural Policy Between Social Change and State Planning’, Forum for Development Studies, 1998:1, pp. 67–95. Chinese rural policy since 1978 has followed several different paradigms. Two of these are examined: the ‘social transformation’ and the ‘planning and programming’ paradigms. The former aimed to change irrational forms of social and economic organisation, while the latter sought to achieve more rational overall…

The legacy of the mock dual economy: Chinese labour in transition 1978-1992
The article looks at labour transition in China as resulting from the gradually disintegrating institutional dualism (formed by the planned economy), and modified by various social dynamics. The structure of the planned economy is explained as a ‘mock dual economy’, an institutional framework aimed at achieving growth without creating poverty (a precondition for the socialist leadership) by appropriating rural surpluses for planned, targeted inve…
