Chen provides an analysis of the political economy of rural
development in China during the reform era. Revolving around the
central theme of statecraft, Chen's study gives a concise and
comprehensive treatment of the interaction of ideology and politics
with central policy and economic growth. He examines China's
economic reform in historical perspective, characterizes China's
economic and political transformation since the reform, and
proposes that the Chinese Communist Party is being transformed into
a party of economics while China's ideology is becoming
market-oriented communal socialism.
In addressing the issue of the Chinese path of development, Chen
discusses the role of local party organizations in China's
modernization drive and the microform of market-oriented communal
socialism in the newly emerged village conglomerate, highlights the
challenges that China faces at the turn of the new century after 20
years of economic reform, and analyzes the context of the
introduction of village elections in 1990, and the establishment of
Deng Xiaoping's Theory as a new ideological discourse at the 15th
National Congress as well as the rationale behind them. In
examining the connection between the two goals of statecraft
--improving people's welfare and strengthening the state--and
between central policies and local initiatives, Chen provides a
study that will be of great interest to scholars, students, and
other researchers involved with contemporary Chinese politics and
development.
