While rural-urban migrations are reshaping societies worldwide, the migrants who make up a great portion of urban China's low-wage labor force and burgeoning population face unique legal and social challenges. Although the trajectories of their migration do not cross international boundaries, most are legally prevented from ever gaining the within China's hukou system of household registration. The functions of this system parallel those of national citizenship policies, and are difficult to explain through standard conceptions of sovereignty and national citizenship. Extending recent work in border studies that thinks of borders in dimensions that go beyond the line itself, this thesis argues that national borders and national citizenship should not be considered as the exclusive sites from which bordering processes emanate. Instead, I argue that citizenship and bordering processes can both take place apart from the norms of nation-state territory. Based on a series of qualitative interviews conducted in Shanghai and Anhui province, this article examines the structure and effects of the hukou system as it regulates legal inclusion and exclusion of migrant workers.

First, thanks are due to Patricia Ehrkamp for advice, support, and more positivity than I usually thought was possible. Sue Roberts, Andrew Wood, and Liang Luo were all gracious enough to be on my committee and read my work, which I’m very grateful for. In China, Li Zhang was the most gracious host I could ask for, and a great part of what I understand about the hukou system is due to his patient explanations. Tao Li, Miao Jiaju and Yuan Jing were also incredibly helpful, and my research would not have happened in anywhere near the same way if it were not for their explanations, translations, and profound generosity. I am also very grateful to Matthew Rosenblum, Emily Kaufman, and Mitch Snider for insightful critiques of my ideas and how I tried to explain them.

Its impact on the city’s role as the greatest economic and financial center in modern China is undeniable. When I asked a group of financial professionals about the role migrants have played in the city’s development, the response was simple. Gesturing out the window of the 40th floor conference room toward the glittering skyline of central Shanghai, a young actuary gave a simple but powerful answer: “Without them, buildings like this could not be built.” The internal migrants whose labor plays an integral part not only in construction but also in Shanghai’s burgeoning service industry, however, are set apart from their counterparts elsewhere around

  • China's Urbanization, Social Restructure and Public
    Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies 9:1 (2014) 55-77 Articles China’s Urbanization, Social Restructure and Public Administration Reforms: An Overview Xiaoyuan Wan University of Sheffield [email protected] Abstract This paper provides a review of the broad process of China’s urbanization and the urban public administration reform since the 1978 reforms, with a focus on the changing public policies in the realms of employment, housing, social insurance and the devolution of government authority. It suggests that the main government rationale of the public administration system reforms was to hand over a part of public services which used to be delivered by the central government and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), to local governments and to devolve a part of responsibility to the private sector, the social sector and individuals. According to these reforms, most of the social services, which could only be enjoyed by the employees of the SOEs were handed over to grassroots governments and aimed to cover more urban population. But at the same time, individuals had to take on more responsibilities of their careers choice and fund part of their own social welfare. This paper concludes by suggesting that with proliferating literature on China’s social and economic transition, further study should be carried out to explore the implementation of the reformed urban public policies by local governments and special concern should be given to the participation of non-government actors in China’s public administration. Introduction SINCE THE LATE 1970S, a series of economic reforms have been driving China to step away from a rigid socialism to a more open and diverse society, in which the urban economy developed at a tremendous speed and played an increasingly important role in the national economy.

  • China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States
    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

  • China's Unpredictable Maritime Security Actors
    China’s unpredictable maritime Linda Jakobson security actors December 2014 CHINA’S UNPREDICTABLE MARITIME SECURITY ACTORS The Lowy Institute for International Policy is an independent policy think tank. Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia – economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high-quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. The views expressed in this paper are entirely the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute for International Policy. CHINA’S UNPREDICTABLE MARITIME SECURITY ACTORS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In recent years China’s good-neighbourly pledges of increased trade and investment have stood in stark contrast with its provocative actions in its near seas. In part this reflects contradictions in China’s core interests. On the one hand, economic growth — vital for China’s political stability — requires cooperative relations with neighbours. On the other hand, defending sovereignty causes friction with neighbours who are rival claimants to contested islands and seas on China’s periphery. China’s claims in the East and South China Seas have not changed in decades. What has changed is China’s capacity and desire to defend its maritime claims. Moreover, since becoming leader, Xi Jinping has placed greater emphasis on defending China’s sovereignty.

  • Driving Factors of Rural-Urban Migration in China
    Driving Factors of Rural-Urban Migration in China Grace Melo1 and Glenn C.W. Ames2 1Corresponding author and PhD student, Department of Agricultural & Applied Economics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA ([email protected]) 2Professor Emeritus, Department of Agricultural & Applied Economics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA ([email protected]) Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the 2016 Agricultural & Applied Economics Association Annual Meeting, Boston, Massachusetts, July 31-August 2 Copyright 2016 by Melo and Ames. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. i Abstract This study employs panel data to analyze the economic factors that drive rural-urban migration and agricultural labor supply within China. The results indicate that higher wages in urban areas, especially in the construction sector, was associated with rural-urban migration and a decline in the agricultural labor supply. The rural-urban wage differential in construction reflects the housing boom in cities set off by rapid urbanization and government policies. Most importantly, our findings raise concerns about the negative impact of rural-urban migration on agriculture in China. Policies that impact labor supply, especially in times of rapid urban development and low diffusion of agricultural technology, are critical to Chinese economic development and stability. Keywords: Internal migration, agricultural labor JEL Classification: O15, R23, J43 i 1. Introduction Population growth in Chinese metropolitan areas is partly attributed to massive migration from rural to urban areas. The number of urban residents increased by 14 million people, while the number of rural residents dropped by 7 million during the 2008-2014 period (National Bureau of Statistics of China 2014).

  • The Politics of China
    POSC 370D Spring 2020 Syllabus: The Politics of China POSC 370D The Politics of China Spring 2020 Paul E. Schroeder [email protected] Main Idea: How China Works Questions: China is not rising. It has risen. Though it has problems, its economy is robust and its activities in the world are equally so. This poses a question raised by Frederick Engels: Has political reform become an economic necessity? Put another way, does politics yield to the dictates of economic development? Chinese politics remains much as it always has. The country has wrestled with Weber’s three types of legitimacy: traditional, in which people go along because that is all they know; charismatic, in which they go along with a great leader such as Mao Zedong; and rational-legal, which China has tried since the death of Deng Xiaoping but is often overshadowed by the rise of a new great leader, e.g. Xi Jinping. The basic three questions China has and continues to ask are what is the best form of government, how to achieve that form, and how to maintain legitimacy. China has wrestled with each in 1895, 1905, 1911, 1915, 1919, 1921, 1927, 1949, 1979, and 2013. Questions of the best form of government and whether it can foster legitimacy abide. These basic questions are the core of this course. The course take-away is an understanding of China’s political culture, how the government is organized, the ideology – or lack thereof – that stands behind its organization, China’s policy process, the social changes brought on by economic reforms and generational change, political contention, government fragility or adaptation, and whether these last two issues will prompt change in the regime.
