Paradoxes of Post-Mao Rural Reform

Initial Steps toward a New Chinese Countryside, 1976-1981

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The decollectivization of Chinese agriculture in the early post-Mao period is widely recognized as a critical part of the overall reform program. But the political process leading to this outcome is poorly understood. A number of approaches have dominated the existing literature, but this study provides a new interpretation challenging conventional wisdom. It offers a deep empirical study of critical developments involving politics from the highest levels in Beijing to China's villages, and in the process challenges many broader accepted interpretations of the politics of reform.
