Description
This scholarly work from Oxford University Press examines the decollectivization reforms in China during the early 1980s. By analyzing the impact of post-Mao decentralization, the book evaluates the relationship between central control and provincial discretion. It challenges the assumption that decentralizing administrative authority automatically leads to local discretion based on regional conditions. The text explores how policy responses in various provinces are shaped by local interests and central-local clientilistic networks. Additionally, the study examines the role of bureaucratic careerism in shaping these outcomes. This volume provides a deep look into how intended goals often differ from actual results during significant periods of economic and administrative reform in China.
