The Beijing Dream
Young people across many societies face considerable barriers to the transition toward independence. Moreover, young people are likely to have vastly divergent experiences and outcomes depending on their tenure. In providing a contextual analysis that gives consideration to the institutional pattern and its association with socioeconomic status, this article presents a qualitative study based on a unique data set of 83 housing stories to explore …
Classification, Evolution, and Construction
Political decisions are increasingly based on local innovations. This article aims to reveal the role of argumentation in making a new idea stand out from the competition of a flood of policy ideas for national adoption. It traces the case of agricultural outsourcing in China and identifies the consecutive phases of classification, evolution, and construction. The finding is that a parallel argument structure was formed, which extends the traditi…
Experimentalist governance in China
Various policy initiatives have been launched to spur innovation in China. They include pilot cities, self-dependent demonstration areas, and comprehensive reform zones. By reviewing the policy formulation processes of these initiatives, we describe the distinct features of experimentalist governance in China. And, we add to policy process theory by analyzing their authority distribution, strategic objectives, and policy goals and instruments. Ch…
Home ownership, housing differentiation and experiences of living
Young people and their housing conditions are closely linked, since housing determines whether an individual can lead a smooth transition from dependence to independence. Nevertheless, young people across many societies face growing problems in achieving this transition, which can be attributed to rising house prices and the lack of affordable alternatives to homeownership. Moreover, young people are likely to have vastly divergent experiences an…
The Land-lost Farmers and Local Government
This article analyzes the grassroots governance in the rapid urbanization process on the rural-urban periphery of Changsha with regard to the relationship between land-lost farmers and the local government. Distinct from conventional wisdom that implies an interpretation of that relationship that is too dichotomous and static, the present study explores the relationship using the structure-agency dynamics model played out locally within a network…
Market-led transactions and illegal land use
Positionality and Power
Reflexivity has gained a vital role in qualitative research. Distinct from the extant global literature that explores reflexivity conceptually or practically, gaps are found in China studies and the Chinese literature, where the discussion of reflexivity remains in the conceptual realm while falling short of practical terms. Doing reflexivity entails the self-reflection of the researcher as well as the reflection of the research participants. Thi…
A Phenomenology of Institutions
To a degree insufficiently captured by the term governance, the present age is one of institutional complexity. China is a case in point. An amalgam of socialist, capitalist, corporatist, and pluralist characteristics, China's systems of governance defy classification using extant categories in the institutionalist literature. What, after all, is a socialist market system? A Phenomenology of Institutions begins with the problem of describing emer…
Construction of a Spatial Planning system at city-level
The Issue of ‘Land-lost’ Farmers in the People’s Republic of China
Based on an empirical fieldwork study in a central-south municipal city in China, this article discusses the contestation between land-lost farmers and local government in the process of urbanization and land expropriation, focusing on the land-lost farmers’ responses to this process. After a discussion of land-lost farmers’ reasons for discontent and their actions, it is argued that such a contestation is an interaction where land-lost farmers t…
The post-1980s generation in China
Having emerged as a catch phrase in the media and among the general public in China, the ‘post-1980s generation’ has also become a subject of concern and discussion by academics both domestically and abroad. In order to answer the most basic questions of whether or not the ‘post-1980s’ constitute a generation, and what has founded this generation, the present paper starts with a discussion of the theoretical foundation of the concept of ‘generati…
