China's Enterprise Reform - Changing State/Society Relations After Mao (Hardcover)

China's basic work units, collectively known as the danwei system, have undergone significant reform, particularly since 1984. At the heart of the danwei system are multi-functional units that constitute the bottom layer of the party/state machinery. They are engaged in planning, party ideology and providing social welfare for workers. The danwei system is now being progressively dismantled. You Ji examines how the danwei system operates and how reform is generating change in the party at grassroots level. The book is particularly concerned with three major institutional reforms in the China's state sector: political reform of the party leadership, the cadre appointments system, management mechanisms and the state/enterprise administrative chains; market reform with an emphasis on ownership; and changes in the industrial social welfare system. The author aims to demonstrate how China's post-Mao reforms have produced a quiet revolution from below as the process of political and economic liberalization has accelerated. Research findings included in this work may be useful to those wishing to understand the nature of change in China.
