China's urban sprawl has led to serious social cleavages. Unclear
land and property rights have resulted in an uneasy alliance
between real estate companies and local authorities, with most
willing to strike illegal deals over land. The results have been
devastating. Farmers live in fear that the land they till today
will be gone tomorrow, while urban citizens are regularly evicted
from their homes to make way for new skyscrapers and highways.
These shocking incidents underscore the urgency of the land
question in China. The recent conviction of the Chinese Minister
for Land Resources and the forced evictions that have led to the
injury and death of ordinary Chinese citizens highlight the case
for land reform. Against this backdrop, many scholars criticize
China's lack of privatization and titling of property. This
monograph, however, demonstrates that these critically depend on
timing and place. Land titling is imperative for the wealthier
regions, yet, may prove detrimental in areas with high poverty. The
book argues that China's land reform can only succeed if the
clarification of property rights is done with caution and ample
regard for regional variations.
