Polanyi and the Peasant Question in China
This article applies Karl Polanyi's concept of a double movement to the trajectory of rural state policies in China since 1949.

This struggle has shaped a historical oscillation between state policies that facilitate extraction of agricultural surpluses and policies th…

Regulatory capitalism and its discontents
The expansion of global trade has produced new challenges for the effective governance of product safety.

To examine these claims empirically, we study …

In this vein, China’s leaders attempted to rein in local governments by introducing new transparency regulations, with environmental transparency a key focus. However, implementing these requirements necessitates cooperation from the very actors who may be weakened by them. Surprisingly, more industrial or more polluted c…
