Dispossession
This essay offers a genealogy of dispossession in agrarian studies across three key episodes – Marx’s formulation of primitive accumulation, subsequent attempts to theorize dispossession’s persistence in new historical settings, and the land grab debates. Focusing on a set of often-implicit parameters of dispossession – subjects, objects, agents, means, functions, and outcomes – it shows both the conceptual ambiguities and historical specificitie…
Searching for Sustainability: Industrial Agriculture of Small Farmers in China and Its Structural Strains
The ‘sustainability turn’ in China's development paradigm is in part a response to the sustainability challenges—both ecologically and socially—that China's agrarian transition has generated. This article characterizes China's agrarian system as an ‘industrial agriculture of small farmers’ (IASF): industrial in method and social metabolism, yet predominantly smallholder in scale and social organization. Over four decades, this configuration deliv…
The Smallholder’s dilemma in agroecological transitions: The diseconomy of agroecology for small farmers in industrial agriculture
A scalar contradiction exists between agroecology's three goals: while ecological sustainability is best pursued at the landscape scale, social equity and livelihood goals often require organizing production at the small scale of family farms. In China's ‘industrial agriculture of small farmers’, ecological farming practices became economically unviable at small farmers' minuscule scales. Agroecological transitions almost always first go through …

Exploring the farmland-livelihood nexus among vulnerable rural households: A case study from a main grain production region of Northeast China
Producer-oriented and consumer-oriented alternative food networks and rural revitalization in China: Distinct trajectories and variegated impacts
Alternative food networks (AFNs) have been increasingly perceived as an engine for rural revitalization, yet AFNs can differ in their founding motivations, operational methods, and organizational forms, which thus produce varying economic, social, and environmental outcomes. Despite this, the complexity of AFNs in the role of rural revitalization remains surprisingly under-researched. This study, drawing a distinction between producer-oriented an…
The decline and transformation of smallholders in Chinese agriculture: National Trends
Smallholders in Capitalist Agriculture: Persistence and Challenges
This paper posits that the majority of “smallholders” in contemporary China are commodity producers who must engage in various commodity exchanges to carry out agricultural production and accomplish their social reproduction. Consequently, “smallholder” refers to a family-based economic operation model, rather than a social identity or psychological identification. Within this framework, the study focuses on the intricate relationships between sm…
Alternative agrifood systems and the economic sustainability of farmers' cooperatives: The Chinese experience
Most registered farmers' cooperatives in China are de facto private enterprises; while many bring economic gains to farmers, they do not function as cooperatives. Among the small minority that started as authentic cooperatives, however, most struggled to provide economic benefits to members, unable to achieve economic sustainability. The failure of true farmers' cooperatives in China has been widely studied; the success of the few that did become…
Post-productivism and rural revitalization in China: Drivers and outcomes
We propose that post-productivism offers a useful analytical framework for understanding the multi-scalar and diverse changes that are taking place in China's rural revitalization. As a theoretical framework that emerged from the study of rural changes in the Global North, the applicability of post-productivism in the Global South has been contested. This paper offers the first comprehensive analysis of the emergence of post-productivism in rural…
Evolution Characteristics and Causes—An Analysis of Urban Catering Cluster Spatial Structure
Studying the development characteristics of the urban catering industry holds significant importance for understanding the spatial patterns of cities. In this manuscript, according to the characteristics of the distribution of catering points and based on catering point of interest (POI) data of 106 cities in China in 2016 and 2022, we propose the Natural Nearest Neighbor Single Branch Model (NNSBM) to identify catering points by adaptive cluster…
Performance space and independent music: The role of cultural entrepreneur in music placemaking in China
The digitalization and platformization of pop music (e.g. Tencent Music Entertainment and Netease Cloud Music in China or Spotify) and gentrification of urban space, not to mention political control, have threatened the survival of independent music in global cities. This paper aims to illustrate how musicians attempt to create music space and continue to incubate new bands and sustain a performance economy in order to perpetuate local creativity…
Producers’ transition to alternative food practices in rural China: Social mobilization and cultural reconstruction in the formation of alternative economies
The shift from the conventional agri-food system to alternative practices is a challenging transition for agricultural producers, yet surprisingly under-studied. Little research has examined the social and cultural processes in rural communities that mobilize producers and construct and sustain producer-driven alternative food networks (AFNs). For AFNs to go beyond just offering “alternative foods” or “alternative networks” and to be constructed …
Producing industrial pigs in southwestern China: The rise of contract farming as a coevolutionary process
The literature on contract farming (CF) has to date focused on how outside capital uses CF to vertically integrate non‐capitalist producers into agro‐industrial value chains. We argue that in places where multiple dynamics of capitalist growth co‐exist, CF relationships can also emerge between different types of capitalist producers that are already in capitalist production using other organizational forms. In this situation, the well‐studied dri…
Tourism students' perception of blended learning and their engagement and satisfaction with the course
I explored the relationship between students' perception of blended learning and their engagement and satisfaction with the course. I used structural equation modeling to analyze the survey responses of 270 tourism management students from two universities in China. The findings indicated that emotional engagement and perceived usefulness influenced students' satisfaction with blended learning. Perceived usefulness had a stronger direct influence…
An exploration of voluntarily abandoned free health services among children with disabilities in China: An ideological conflict perspective
Why do farmers' cooperatives fail in a market economy? Rediscovering Chayanov with the Chinese experience
In The Theory of Peasant Cooperatives, Chayanov develops the theories of differential optima and vertical integration, which stress the vulnerability of peasant farming in capitalist markets, and argues that cooperatives can support smallholders only if they operate as ‘a cooperative movement’, are buttressed by a strong ‘cooperative culture’, and achieve ‘vertical integration’. Based on extensive fieldwork in China, we identify six major obstacl…
Politically directed accumulation in rural China: The making of the agrarian capitalist class and the new agrarian question of capital
We study the formation of the agrarian capitalist class in the pig farming sector in a Chinese county. We propose a new framework for analyzing the dynamics of accumulation and class formation in agriculture that focuses on the role of the state and public resources. In what we call “politically directed accumulation,” local states in China, driven by a political logic of maximizing fiscal resources and improving performance record, select actors…
Rural China under the Covid‐19 pandemic: Differentiated impacts, rural–urban inequality and agro‐industrialization
We use field data collected in a village in northern China to examine the impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic on rural economy and livelihoods. The lockdown effectively protected the village from the pandemic, resulting in zero infection. The economic impacts were mostly negative but differentiated across economic sectors and livelihood strategies; some gained from the business opportunities arising from the pandemic. Wage loss for migrant workers w…
Intersectional understandings of the role and meaning of platform-mediated work in the pandemic Swedish welfare state
Digitally-mediated forms of services are increasingly normalized and rapidly transforming working and everyday lives creating new digital-social-spatial relations. The platform economy, in particular, offers new ways of work and new means of consumption. These changes challenge welfare states, both in the operations of institutions and to their foundational social goals and values. In Sweden, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social and la…

Factors Associated With Health-Related Quality of Life of Parents Who Lost Their Only Child: A Cross-Sectional Study in Central China
Purpose: The number of families who lost their only child was over one million in 2012 in China, and it is growing rapidly every year. Without their only child, they will inevitably worry about their health and life for their later years. It is important to explore the quality of life and influencing factors of the parents. Methods: The cluster sampling method was adopted to select the participants in Wuhu city, Anhui province, central China. The…
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…
Farmers’ Cooperatives in China: A Typology of Fraud and Failure
Since the 1990s, agricultural cooperatives—particularly what China calls Farmers’ Specialized Cooperatives—have experienced rapid expansion in China. After more than two decades of growth and policy support, what is the overall performance of the ever-increasing numbers of these cooperatives? We visited 50 cooperatives across the country, most of which had officially been lauded as successful, to make a first-hand evaluation of their overall stat…
Betting on the Big: State-Brokered Land Transfers, Large-Scale Agricultural Producers, and Rural Policy Implementation
As rural governments have become hollowed out and detached from rural society, can they still effectively implement policies that lack popular support? This article examines a county in Hunan Province, where local governments had strong incentives to implement a national policy of increasing double cropping in rice farming. Small farmers rejected double cropping as unprofitable. Local governments’ limited capacity prevented them from either resha…
From Peasants to Farmers: Peasant Differentiation, Labor Regimes, and Land-Rights Institutions in China's Agrarian Transition
The development of factor markets has opened Chinese agriculture for the penetration of capitalism. This new round of rural transformation-China's agrarian transition- raises the agrarian question in the Chinese context. This study investigates how capitalist forms and relations of production transform agricultural production and the peasantry class in rural China. The authors identify six forms of nonpeasant agricultural production, compare the …
The Rise of Agrarian Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics: Agricultural Modernization, Agribusiness and Collective Land Rights
Political dynamics in land commodification: Commodifying rural land development rights in Chengdu, China
Economic transition and new patterns of parent-adult child coresidence in Urban China
This study uses national data from the 1996 Life History and Social Change in Contemporary China survey (N= 3,087) to gauge the effect of the economic transition on parent-adult child coresidence in urban China. Previous studies find that, thanks to state actions, traditional patterns in coresidence persisted in post-Mao urban China. This study still finds high levels of coresidence. China's aging population, coupled with an underdeveloped social…
Class Differentiation in RuralChina: Dynamics of Accumulation, Commodification and State Intervention
This paper develops a classification of the emerging agrarian class positions inChina today. Using an instrument based on rural households' combination of market positions in four markets - land, labour, means of production and product - I identify five agrarian classes: the capitalist employer class, the petty-bourgeois class of commercial farmers, two labouring classes of dual-employment households and wage workers, and subsistence peasants. Th…

The Political Economy of Contract Farming in China's Agrarian Transition
How does rural China's political economy determine the motivations and constraints that drive small farmers and agribusiness companies into contract farming and shape its practice and impact? This paper identifies three distinctive features of contract farming in China - varied impact on rural inequality, unstable contractual relations and lack of competitiveness with other alternatives - and proposes tentative explanations linked to three featur…

China's Agrarian Reform and the Privatization of Land: A contrarian view
Many reporters and scholars outside China advocate the privatization of land ownership in China as a necessary step for the transformation of China's agriculture system into a modern, large-scale, market-oriented and technology-intensive one. Chinese scholars advocating land privatization, for their part, typically argue that land privatization would better protect farmers’ rights and interests. We present a contrarian view to these calls for lan…
Bringing Agriculture Back In: The Central Place of Agrarian Change in RuralChina Studies
Since the mid-2000s, rural development and politics inChina has entered a new phase that revolves around what the central government calls 'agricultural modernization'. Transforming the once-dominant smallholding, family-based agriculture has become a focal point of the government's programme of rural rejuvenation, where a range of economic changes unleashed by urbanization and industrialization also converge. We argue that in this new context, a…
The Transformation of Urban Vegetable Retail in China: Wet Markets, Supermarkets and Informal Markets in Shanghai
The state-monopolised system of vegetable retail in socialist urban China has been transformed into a market-based system run by profit-driven actors. Publicly-owned wet markets not only declined in number after the state relegated its construction to market forces, but were also thoroughly privatised, becoming venues of capital accumulation for the market operators now controlling these properties. Self-employed migrant families replaced salarie…

The Strength of Sibling Ties: Sibling Influence on Status Attainment in a Chinese Family
What allowed eight siblings from a politically disadvantaged rural family to overcome institutional barriers and achieve upward mobility during Maoist China? What then restricted their children's chances of upward mobility during the Reform era, when both family background and institutional environment were more favourable? In studying this anomalous case, whose experiences contradicted the well-documented effects of state policies and yet cannot…

State Political Identity and Meta-Governance: Comparative Analysis of Governance Modes in Vegetable Retail in Urban China
A government's political identity is a key factor in meta-governance; it powerfully shapes a government's policy aims and implementation preferences at the most abstract level and forms a stable governance mode. Dissonance between a pre-existing governance mode and the government's evolved political identity will lead to governance failures and pose political challenges to the government. In the case of vegetable retail in Shanghai, the neolibera…
