Centre and Provinces: China 1978-93 goes beyond the dominant state
capacity paradigm to argue for an interactive model to explain the
political relations between the central and provincial governments
in contemporary China. The uni-dimensional, centrist perspective of
the state capacity paradigm has failed to adequately explain the
coexistence of central and provincial power, and to anticipate
circumstances of change. In this book a hybrid rational-choice cum
institutional approach highlights the mutual power of both the
Centre and the provinces. each party, the Centre or the provinces,
imposes structural constraints upon the other. Power is not a
zero-sum game. The cases of Shanghai and Guangdong, important
resourceful provinces under very different central policy contexts,
contrast possible interactions between central policy and
provincial choice. Conflicts amidst a context of mutual dependence
necessitate compromise on both sides, and qualitative changes to
centreprovince relations as a result may well have long-term
implications for wider political processes.
