In the first systematic documentation of the pattern and processes
of land development taking place in China in the last two decades
George C.S Lin advocates a fresh and innovative approach that goes
beyond the privatization debate to probe directly into the social
and political origins of land development. He demonstrates the
special and paradoxical nature of China's land development and
challenges the perceived notion of a causal relationship between
property rights definition, efficient land use, and sustained
economic growth. In contrast to the existing literature in which
changes in urban and rural land are treated separately, the
rural-urban interface is shown to be the most significant and
contentious locus of land development where competition for land
has been intensified and social conflicts frequently erupted.
Theoretically provocative and empirically well-grounded, Developing
China provides a systematic, insightful, and authoritative account
of the enormous development of China's precious land resources. As
such, it will be of great interest to scholars, students, and
professional practitioners in the fields of development studies,
political economy, regional political ecology, planning, economics,
geography, land use management, and sustainable development with a
special focus on contemporary China under market transition.
