Black and white photographic illustrations, 258pp, bibliography, index, very good copy in dustjacket. "As China is transformed, relations between society, the state, and the city have become central. The Great Urban Transformation investigates what is happening in cities, the urban edges, and the rural fringe in order to explain these relations. In the inner city of major metropolitan centers, municipal governments battle high-ranking state agencies to secure land rents from redevelopment projects, while residents mobilize to assert property and residential rights. At the urban edge, as metropolitan governments seek to extend control over their rural hinterland through massive-scale development projects, villagers strategize to profit from the encroaching property market. At the rural fringe, township leaders become brokers of power and property between the state bureaucracy and villages, while large numbers of peasants are dispossessed, dispersed, and deterritorialized, and their mobilizational capacity is consequently undermined. The Great Urban Transformation explores these issues, and provides an integrated analysis of the city and the countryside, elite politics and grassroots activism, legal-economic and socio-political issues of property rights, and the role of the state and the market in the property market."

Hardback. Condizione: New. You-tien Hsing examines the politics of land and property development in reform-era China. The book is in three parts, each dealing with one kind of place: the redevelopment of the urban core, the expansion of the metropolitan region, and the urbanization of the rural fringe. Each part pairs a chapter on how local state actors build up revenue and legitimacy with a chapter on how a social group responds. In the inner cities of Beijing, Shanghai and provincial capitals, municipal governments compete with powerful state enterprises and ministries that hold land from the planned economy, while displaced residents dispute their compensation. On the urban edge, cities take over rural land for industry, housing and university towns. Further out, township leaders broker land deals, villagers form landholding collectives that Hsing calls "village corporatism," and "nail households" refuse to leave. The argument introduces the ideas of the "urbanization of the local state" and "civic territoriality." It draws on interviews conducted between 1996 and 2007, and a final chapter describes a new territorial order. Feel free to ask for photos or more detail.…
