Looks at the rollout of one of the largest infrastructure programs
in human history to show how local governments play a complex role.
China's high-speed railway network is one of the largest
infrastructure programs in human history. Despite global media
coverage, we know very little about the political process that led
the government to invest in the railway program and the reasons for
the striking regional and temporal variation in such investments.
In Localized Bargaining, Xiao Ma offers a novel theory of
intergovernmental bargaining that explains the unfolding of China's
unprecedented high-speed railway program. Drawing on a wealth of
in-depth interviews, original data sets, and surveys with local
officials, Ma details how the bottom-up bargaining efforts by
territorial authorities-whom the central bureaucracies rely on to
implement various infrastructure projects-shaped the allocation of
investment in the railway system. Demonstrating how localities of
different types invoke institutional and extra-institutional
sources of bargaining power in their competition for railway
stations, Ma sheds new light on how the nation's massive
bureaucracy actually functions.
