The tremendous socio-economic and political change in rural China over the last few decades has spawned an expanding body of research analysing the societal processes, relationships and dynamics relating to a shifting organizational and institutional context. The Routledge Handbook of Rural China provides a critical reflection on the major themes, issues, and theoretical and policy debates that have characterised rural China’s development experience. The contributors delineate the state, trajectory and dynamics of the field, including emerging and cutting edge issues and debates on topics such as:
- The Hukou
- Eco-tourism
- Labour shortages and migrations,
- South-south co-operation
- Social welfare
- Agribusiness
- Grassroots political participation
- GM crops
Providing an intellectually stimulating, comprehensive and lucid guide for students and scholars to facilitate and further their study, pedagogy and research, The Routledge Handbook of Rural China is an essential read for those interested in socio-economic and institutional changes in China in general, and in rural China in particular. The multi- and inter-disciplinary approach of the book will also appeal to those focusing on Chinese Studies, East Asian Studies, development studies, agriculture and rural studies, as well as the wide social sciences.
