More than thirty years ago the political turn that brought the
dismantling of agricultural collectives and exclusive rights to
small plots of farmland for rural families initiated a historic
return to smallholding in the People's Republic of China. Today,
agriculture in China is changing again. In many villages
smallholder farming is giving way to large agricultural
enterprises. This book explores this latest transformation of
Chinese agriculture. It traces how the peasantry's frustration with
the farming conditions, the priorities of national and local
political agents and the changes in the management of collective
land since the return to family-based farming have paved the way
for a unique Chinese agrarian transition. The argument is based on
careful analysis of agricultural politics since the early 1980s and
data gathered in three field trips to Shandong, Sichuan, and
Guizhou Provinces between 2008 and 2010. The findings highlight the
importance of institutional path-dependencies and strategic
government intervention (or its absence) for economic
transformation. China's Agrarian Transition is one of the first
comprehensive accounts of the latest developments in agriculture in
the People's Republic and will provide a stimulating read for
political scientists, sociologists, economists, and experts on
China interested in the ongoing transformation of China's
countryside.
