Routledge Political Economy in China's Urban-Rural Relations

This academic study from Routledge examines the changing economic connections between urban and rural areas in China. By looking at the evolutionary mechanisms of these relationships, the book explores how a developing socialist nation works toward sustainable development and the goal of common prosperity. The text provides a deep literature review and practical analysis of real-world conditions within China. It offers a fresh perspective by challenging the traditional dual economy theory used in development economics. Instead, it proposes an alternative analytical framework built on the principles of political economy. Readers will gain a better understanding of the role of political factors in shaping economic structures. This book is an essential resource for those studying Chinese economic history, development strategies, and the specific dynamics that define modern urban-rural economic relations.
