Description
This scholarly work examines how China's government fundamentally reduced its involvement in health funding and citizen insurance following the post-Mao period. Rather than attributing this shift solely to economic policies and market reform, Jane Duckett presents a comprehensive analytical framework that reveals the complex interplay of health policy, political institutions, communist party ideology, and bureaucratic interests. Drawing comparisons with state retrenchment patterns in industrialised democracies and post-communist Eastern Europe, the book demonstrates that China's healthcare transformation resulted from multiple institutional and ideological forces, not simply economic restructuring. This Routledge Studies on China in Transition volume offers essential insights into how political systems reshape public health provision and citizen protection during periods of significant reform and systemic change.

Key Features

Authored by Jane Duckett, this book applies comparative state retrenchment theory to analyse China's health policy transformation.

The Routledge Studies series contextualises China's healthcare retreat within broader patterns of institutional change in transitional economies.

Examines how communist party ideology and reform-era political institutions influenced health funding decisions beyond market pressures.

Integrates analysis of bureaucratic stakeholders and health policy frameworks to explain divergence from simple economic determinism.

Provides comparative perspective by examining state retrenchment patterns in industrialised democracies and post-communist Eastern Europe.
