Between Family and Community
This article examines how intergenerational interactions intersect with community resources to shape pathways to active ageing among urban older adults in China. Drawing on intergenerational solidarity theory, it conceptualises family and community as an integrated configuration in which care responsibilities and moral expectations are redistributed rather than simply shifted. Based on 40 semi‐structured interviews conducted in a subdistrict of H…

The United States–China Race for Green Transformation
Greening the Chinese Leviathan
Political Recentralisation and the Diffusion of Solar Energy in China
This article uses principal–agent theory to examine the governance of solar energy in China and question the notion of ‘fragmented authoritarianism’ in Chinese governance. It demonstrates that the governance of solar energy in China operates on two levels, with ‘police patrol’ control and monitoring mechanisms at the meso- or sectoral level combined with ‘fire alarm’ modes of political control at the micro-level. Drawing on original interview mat…
The changing political economy of central state-owned oil companies in China
This research seeks to reconceptualise the process of marketizing central state-owned enterprises (CSOEs) in the Chinese petroleum industry by interpreting their institutional establishment and reconstruction, and the change in their institutional context. The enterprise reform of state-owned oil companies, and the partial market liberalization initiated in the 1980s, have not pushed the petroleum sector toward the trajectory of the neoliberal fr…
The New, Green, Urbanization in China
State-owned enterprises and the political economy of state–state relations in the developing world
The literature on developmental states has built theories of growth-enhancing strategies through a mutually constitutive state–business relationship and institutionalised expertise through a professional bureaucracy. Whilst most evidence bears on the East Asian context, recent empirical work has focussed on state agency and new industrial policies in response to global market integration. Our paper contributes to this debate by exploring multiple…
Growing China’s renewables sector
Over the last decade China expanded its renewable energy sector with unprecedented speed. This success story presents a challenge to Western modes of environmental governance, where stakeholder participation is often deemed a necessary pre-condition for effective policy outcomes. Drawing on new research (including previously unpublished interview data), the article first discusses established modes of environmental governance before examining the…
