Based on a treasure trove of information collected through
fieldwork interviews and painstaking documentary research through
the Chinese and Western language presses, this book analyzes one of
the most important reforms implemented in China over the past
decade the rural tax and fee reform, also known as the "Third
Revolution in the Countryside." The aim of the tax was to improve
social stability in rural China, which has become increasingly
shaken by peasant protests, many of them large-scale and violent.
By examining the gap between the intentions of the reform and the
eventual outcomes, G bel provides new insights into the nature of
intergovernmental relations in China and highlights the ways in
which the relationship between the state and the rural populace has
fundamentally changed forever.
The Politics of Rural Reform in China will appeal to students
and scholars of Chinese politics, governance and development
studies.
