  • The State, Land System, and Land Development Processes in Contemporary China

    George C S Lin, Samuel P S HoARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2005Cited by: 207References: 56

    In the era of state socialism under Mao, land in China was treated as a means of production and was allocated administratively by the state free of charge. To accommodate the interests of foreign investors without violating the socialist principle of public ownership, the Chinese state has, since the 1980s, separated land use rights from land ownership and opened up a new market track for the conveyance of land use rights to commercial users. The…

    Open AccessSamuel P S Ho, George C S LinARTICLEModern China2004Cited by: 42References: 17

    Since the mid-1980s, the conversion of land to nonagricultural use in China has been arguably the most widespread in the country’s history, and in no region has the process been more intense than in China’s coastal provinces. Among the more important factors that have contributed to the conversion of land to nonagricultural use are rural-urban migration, rapid economic growth, and increased investments in roads. A study of Landsat photographs of …

  • Emerging Land Markets in Rural and Urban China: Policies and Practices

    Open AccessSamuel P S Ho, George C S LinARTICLEThe China Quarterly2003

    This article examines the evolution of China's land system in the past two decades. Since the early 1980s, China has altered its land use arrangements and introduced new regulations to manage land use changes. In the process the administrative allocation of land to users has been transformed into a complex hierarchical system of primary and secondary markets for land use rights. The changes in China's land system were adopted primarily for two re…

  • 'Letting Go of the Small': An Analysis of the Privatisation of Rural Enterprises in Jiangsu and Shandong

    Samuel P S Ho, Paul Bowles et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2003

    Since the policy of "grasping the large, letting go of the small" was initiated in 1996, there has been a program of mass privatisation of China's rural industrial enterprises. This paper, based on interviews and survey data from three counties in Jiangsu and Shandong, analyses the process of privatisation and examines its impacts. Our analysis, which incorporates both choice theoretic and power theoretic considerations, shows how rapid privatisa…

  • Sources of Chinese Economic Growth, 1978-1996

    Samuel P S Ho, Chris BramallARTICLEPacific Affairs2001

    This analysis of the political economy of growth in the era of Deng Xiaoping takes issue with the growth-accounting methodologies and market-centred explanations which characterize so much of the literature on transition-era China. By adopting an approach which echoes the pioneering work of Chalmers Johnson, Alice Amsden, and Robert Wade on other East Asian Economies, and which makes full use of the rich statistical materials that have become ava…

  • Technology Transfer to China During the 1980s-How Effective? Some Evidence from Jiangsu

    Samuel P S HoARTICLEPacific Affairs1997Cited by: 1

    DURING THE 1980s, in a major change from past practices, China adopted the so-called Policy (kaifangzhengce), the essence of which was a quest for accelerated economic development through the import and absorption of foreign technology. Because the nature of technology is difficult to define, technology import is not something that lends itself easily to measurement. For one thing, technology appears in different forms embodied in capital goods, …

    BEFORE 1979, central planning and government regulations bound the Chinese peasants tightly to the land, and cultivation, particularly grain production, had priority over all other activities. Non-agricultural activities, when they were permitted to develop, were viewed not primarily as a way of changing the rural economy but as a way of supporting agriculture by providing it with modern material inputs (e.g., fertilizer, electric power, agricult…

  • Economics, Economic Bureaucracy, and Taiwan's Economic Development

    Samuel P S HoARTICLEPacific Affairs1987Cited by: 7

    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT is a complex process, involving not only economic but also institutional, social, and political changes, and the interrelationships between the economic and the non-economic changes can be critical. An important issue is how sociocultural and political forces affect economic growth and are in turn influenced by it. Using Taiwan as a case study, this article attempts to address one small aspect of this interaction: the economi…
