The contentious history of Mao-era policies requiring cadres to participate in labor and workers to participate in management
Introduction: Socialist industrialization, deskilling, and reducing the gap between mental and manual labor in China
The Rise and Fall of Factory-based Schools in China
Les Assemblées du personnel et des travailleurs de 1949 à nos jours. Trois configurations du corporatisme chinois
Toutes les grandes entreprises chinoises sont tenues de convoquer des organes de représentation connus sous l'appellation d'« assemblée du personnel et des travailleurs » (APT). À travers l'étude de cas d'une grande usine de fabrication de verre appartenant à l'État, cet article examine l'évolution du système des APT de 1949 à nos jours. Au cours des dernières années, ce système s'est massivement développé, se traduisant par la mise en œuvre d'AP…

Agents of Disorder: Inside China’s Cultural Revolution
Rural land dispossession in China and India
The twelve articles in this special issue feature the work of scholars studying the dispossession of rural land in China and India. Each offers new insights about the extent and patterns of dispossession, the complex dynamics driving it, the consequences for farmers, as well as the factors shaping resistance or compliance. Although each article treats developments within one country, the collection helps uncover features common to rural land disp…
Mobilizing compliance: How the state compels village households to transfer land to large farm operators in China
Since 2007, as the result of an aggressive government program to industrialize agriculture, more than one third of Chinese farmland has been transferred from smallholding households to large farm operators. The scaling up of agriculture is a global phenomenon, but nowhere has the scale been so vast and the time period so compressed. So far, there has been little investigation into how this massive transfer of land is being accomplished. While off…
The Brief, Tumultuous History of “Big Democracy” in China’s Factories
This article compares two fateful experiments conducted during the Mao era in China that encouraged freewheeling criticism of Communist cadres: the 1957 Party Rectification campaign and the early upheavals of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1968). Through a content analysis of articles published in the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship newspaper, People’s Daily, we first show that the two movements shared characteristics that made them very simila…
Grapes of Wrath: Twisting Arms to Get Villagers to Cooperate with Agribusiness in China
In recent years the Chinese Communist Party has moved to scale up, modernize, and commercialize agriculture by placing it under the direction of large commercial enterprises known as dragonheads. Although scholars have drawn attention to the rapid advance of capitalist-style farming in China, there has been little investigation into how villagers have been pressed to cooperate with this endeavor. In this article, we examine methods used by local …
Using Religion to Resist Rural Dispossession: A Case Study of a Hui Muslim Community in North-west China
In this paper, we examine the role played by religion in a struggle waged by Hui Muslim villagers against land expropriation. Religion can provide powerful resources for protest movements, especially for religious minorities, but it can also be dangerous. This is particularly true in China where the state has had little toleration of autonomous organization and has long been suspicious of religious organization, especially among ethnic minorities…
Hukouand land: Market reform and rural displacement in China
Scholarship about the Chinese hukou (household registration) system has focused on the advantages and entitlements associated with urban hukou. This paper shifts attention to the key entitlement provided by rural hukou - village land. While early hukou reforms were mainly designed to open up urban labor markets to rural migrants, recent reforms have also begun to open up rural land markets, by replacing hukou-based land rights with market-based r…

Sino-Seismology
University Autonomy, the State, and Social Change in China . Su-Yan Pan
A Shanghai Model
Assessment of Huang Yasheng’s iconoclastic account of the PRC’s economic reforms, Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics. Did the 1990s witness a turn away from rural entrepreneurialism towards a state-led model favouring coastal elites
Disorganizing China: Counter-Bureaucracy and the Decline of Socialism . Eddy U
Changing Colours in China
The nature of China’s present socio-economic system has for some time been hotly debated. Reflecting on Giovanni Arrighi’s Adam Smith in Beijing, Joel Andreas traces the path of property relations, social services and income distribution in the PRC since the late seventies, reaching unambiguous conclusions
The Structure of Charismatic Mobilization: A Case Study of Rebellion During the Chinese Cultural Revolution
This article makes a case for bringing the concept of charismatic authority back into the study of social movements. Three decades ago, with the paradigmatic shift from psychological to strategic explanations, Weber's concept virtually disappeared from scholarship about collective action. Based on an investigation of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, I examine the distinctive structure and capacities of charismatic mobilization. During the Cultura…
