Rural Roots of Reform Before China's Conservative Change
Autor Lynn T. White IIIen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iun 2018
New findings, especially from the Yangzi delta around Shanghai, challenge the top-down approach to thinking about governance. As Deng Xiaoping admitted, the nation’s spurt of prosperity began in local communities rather than Beijing. Reforms for triple-cropping and rural industrialization started long before Mao’s death (not in 1978, the date most writers cite). Country factories competed with state industries for materials and markets. Shortages by the 1980s led to inflation, government deficits, unofficial credit, unenforceable planning, illegal migrations, then international exports - and severe political tensions. After 1990, Party leaders sought policies to build a Leninist regime that is mostly post-socialist. These reactionary changes have lasted into the era of Xi Jinping. China’s reforms and subsequent changes can be understood as results of unintended situations not just ideas, and local not just central politics.
This book will interest students and scholars of Chinese, as well as any readers who wonder about comparative development.

Descriere
China’s economic-military ‘rise’ and political authoritarian governance dominate academic, journalistic, and official discourse about the world’s most populous country. This book however provides new analysis going beyond these concepts to a more balanced view that accounts for China’s needs in international ecologies and economies.
