Towards an Enlightened Authoritarian Polity
Primarily relying on the Kuomintang Party archives recently available to scholarship at the Hoover Institution Archives, this article examines the roles of the Kuomintang Central Reform Committee and the party reform under it between 1950 and 1952. The Committee became a crucial contributing factor in terms of the survival of the once defeated and demoralized Kuomintang as a ruling party. While the Kuomintang under the Committee created a variety…

Struggle Across the Taiwan Strait
Economic Developments, 1644–1800
This chapter describes significant economic developments before 1800 and explains why they occurred. According to Chinese historians, embryonic capitalism appeared several centuries later in China than in Europe, but they were weak, and had atrophied by the 1800s. The chapter elucidates how state and private economic organizations, operating under new institutions or rules, reduced the economy's transformation and transaction costs. Recognizing t…
The Cambridge History of China
This volume of the Cambridge History of China considers the political, military, social, and economic developments of the Ch'ing empire to 1800. The period begins with the end of the resurgent Ming dynasty, covered in volumes 7 and 8, and ends with the beginning of the collapse of the imperial system in the nineteenth century, described in volume 10. Taken together, the ten chapters elucidate the complexities of the dynamic interactions between e…
The First Chinese Democracy
A China Divided since the Turnover of Political Power in Taiwan
Since March 2000 the turnover of political power in Taiwan to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and President Chen Shui-bian has been associated with a bitter clash between two visions for Taiwan's future: a vision of Taiwanese nationalism promoted by President Chen and the DPP versus one of engagement with mainland China that aims to create a special relationship while engaging the Western world, as promoted by the KMT and some of its allie…

The Modern Chinese State
This is the first book to examine systematically the evolution of the Chinese state from the late Ming Dynasty of the seventeenth century, through the Nationalist and Communist party states of the twentieth century, and into the next century. Leading scholars carefully assess the internal organization of the Chinese state over time, the ruling parties that have governed it, the foreign and indigenous systems that have served as models for state-b…
The First Chinese Democracy
China's consumer revolution
Since 1980 China's economic revolution has enabled more households to allocate labor to market‐related activities to earn more income. In 1992 an even greater surge in market economy growth took place when urban households began abandoning state‐related occupations and took their chances in the marketplace. The increase in consumer spending that followed reflects a new pattern of household spending for the first time in China since 1949: the shar…

The First Chinese Democracy
The political transformation of Taiwan from authoritarian regime based on martial law into a democracy based on a constitution created in mainland China and revised to suit Taiwan's unique circumstances is one of the great political sagas of the 20th century. Defeated on the China mainland, the Kuomintang underwent reform and established a new polity on Taiwan that allowed for four patterns of political development. First, since 1950 the Kuominta…
The Japanese Wartime Empire, 1931-1945
Salt of the Earth
Examines the political and economic origins of the October revolution in China in 1949. The text is based on direct interviews with the village people whose individual and collective protest activities helped shape the nature and course of the Chinese revolution in rural areas. Focusing on the Party's relationship with locally esteemed non-Communist leaders, the author shows that the Party's role is best understood in terms of its intimate connec…

How Did the Modern Chinese Economy Develop? —A Review Article
Unsurprisingly, writings on the economic history of nineteenth and twentieth century China have been confusing and full of controversy. A major question is whether the Chinese economy experienced per capita output growth, stagnated, or declined between 1870 and World War II. Studies prior to 1937 usually claimed that the rural economy's output per capita declined, with only modest expansion of a small, modern sector restricted to railroads and ma…

Socioeconomic Change in Villages of Manchuria During the Ch'ing and Republican Periods
A Great deal has been written about the Chinese state, but we still know very little about the common people, particularly peasants. How did they live? How did they found their communities? How did their socioeconomic status and property rights change over time. During the 1920s, 1930s and early 1940s, China's rural society and economy became the object of intense investigation by Chinese and foreign researchers. From this period dates our presen…

Agricultural Development in Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule
Studies of Asian agriculture have argued that land-tenure systems have often retarded agricultural development, in that unequal land distribution and widespread tenancy have given peasants little power to resist landlord efforts to squeeze and rack-rent them. Because landlords have been disinclined to devote their wealth and energies to improving the land, agriculture has stagnated and peasants have became poorer. A conspicuous weakness in this a…
The Spatial Approach to Chinese History
This article presents a series of statistical tests of the spatial framework offered by G. W. Skinner for use in analyzing Chinese history. Skinner argues that China is best viewed as a collection of nine distinct economic regions, each composed of a core and periphery. The authors use discriminant analysis, a multivariant statistical technique, and a twentieth-century Chinese data set to test the relevance of this view empirically. Their tests s…
Resource Allocation in Traditional Agriculture
This essay discusses and measures the efficiency of resource allocation by peasants in three villages located in the grain-producing area of north China between 1937 and 1940. Family farm budget data collected by Japanese researchers were used to determine how well peasants allocated their land and labor between four major grain crops. Marginal value products for land and labor were obtained from fitting data to a Cobb-Douglas production function…

Japanese Colonial Development Policy in Taiwan, 1895-1906
Japan's acquisition and development of Taiwan did not stem from the efforts of a capitalist class seeking cheaper resources and new market outlets, or engaging in dumping practices to maintain a high rate of domestic profit. Taiwan's economic transformation was brought about by enterprising bureaucrats who formulated a policy of state action in areas unattractive to private capital in order to create conditions that would encourage and sustain pr…

Greater China and U.S. Foreign Policy
A group of internationally prominent China scholars held a conference at the Hoover Institution in December 1994 to discuss how U.S. policy can best respond to recent changes in China and made clear that a get-tough policy would ultimately fail. This volume presents, in ten authoritative chapters, the first comprehensive overview of this complex topic-along with sound reasoning to support its provocative conclusion. The end of the cold war left t…

North China Villages During the Republican Period
Most students of modern Chinese history have always viewed landlord and tenant relationships as oppressive and exploitative, especially for those who farmed the land and paid rent for its use. A rural oligarchy of landlords, merchants, and moneylenders allegedly held enough economic power to fix market prices of goods, credit, labor, and land at variance with the prices which would normally have occurred had highly competitive market conditions e…
Foreign Influence and Agricultural Development in Northeast China
The failure of Chinese agriculture to undergo a transformation whereby production could increase rapidly and institutional change could occur has been long regarded by many scholars to be one of the principal reasons China did not achieve modernization after the 1880's but instead became engulfed in revolution and war during the first half of the twentieth century. During the 1930's, various schools of thought explained this absence of agrarian t…
