Dissertation Advisor: Professor Elizabeth J. Perry Jeffrey Arshad Javed Land and Retribution: Morality, Mobilization, and Violence in China’s Land Reform Campaign (1950-1952) Abstract China’s land reform campaign was the most extensive and violent redistribution of land in history, with estimates of millions of people killed or otherwise persecuted through mass mobilized “class struggle.” Yet it is unclear how the new regime managed to mobilize local communities, many of which lacked salient class divisions, to participate in this massive episode of class violence. I argue that the Party mobilized mass participation in violence by emphasizing and sensationalizing the moral transgressions of a subset of the landed elite, while simultaneously emphasizing the virtue and victimhood of the masses. Through this process of moral mobilization, the Party delineated a new moral boundary between the “oppressed” masses and the cruel and corrupt landlord class; it was on the basis of this new moral boundary that the Party galvanized popular outrage and participation in retributive violence against members of the landed elite and other perceived moral transgressors. Drawing on archival documents, internal Party publications, oral histories, memoirs, and a unique historical dataset of 124 local county gazetteers gathered over twelve months of fieldwork, I explore how the Party used moral mobilization to mobilize mass violence across localities in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces. By comparing localities situated in contrasting geographic regions under the same political jurisdiction, I illustrate how the targeting and ! iii intensity of moral mobilization varied at the local level. I find that the specific social categories of people targeted and punished in a locality differed according to the predominant moral norms that governed social relations between the landed elite and the local community. My analysis of local patterns of violence reveals that economic inequality and other socioeconomic indicators do not predict the intensity, or amount, of violence mobilized. Rather, local governments’ dual capacity to mobilize and control violence affected how much violence a locality endured. ! iv Table of Contents List of Figures vi List of Tables vii Acknowledgements viii Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Chapter 2 Moral Governance and the Cultural Genealogy of Moral Mobilization 56 Chapter 3 Moral Mobilization in Huaibei and Jiangnan 90 Chapter 4 Selecting Targets 145 Chapter 5 Unleashing and Restraining the Masses 189 Chapter 6 Comparative Perspectives and Conclusion 230 Bibliography 256 Appendix A.

The blending of my own ideas with those of my mentors, other scholars, friends, family, and even strangers defies attempts at disaggregation. Of course, though I acknowledge the myriad influences on this project, all mistakes herein are mine and mine alone. It is only fitting for me to begin with my dissertation committee. I was intellectually spoiled: I could not have asked for a more insightful and generous group of scholars. Grzegorz Ekiert provided valuable perspectives on theories of social mobilization and moral economy, and indulged my sociological proclivities. Peter Hall shaped the theoretical direction of this project tremendously, and often articulated my arguments better than I could myself. Yuhua Wang gave me wonderful advice on how to frame and situate this project in the greater political science literature, and he generously provided additional historical data for my county-level analysis. Elizabeth Perry, my committee chair, deserves special thanks and my profound gratitude. As my intellectual guide since my first days at Harvard, her openness and guidance have helped me navigate the many twists and turns this project took. Moreover, it was through her that I was able to connect with the many Chinese scholars who so deeply shaped my research and aided me in my fieldwork. Most significantly, she believed in me when I could not believe in myself. Realistically, this project could not have come to fruition without her. Outside of my committee, many other scholars, at Harvard and abroad, provided feedback on the project in some way or form. Here I would like to thank Bart Bonikowski; Nara Dillon; Frances Hagopian; Iain Johnston; and Michele Lamont. In China, I enjoyed incredible support and guidance from a number of Chinese historians and social scientists. Zhou Xiaohong and Li Lifeng generously welcomed and hosted me at Nanjing University. During my time in ! viii Nanjing, Zhou Haiyan was particularly crucial to sustaining my mental wellbeing while I dealt with the many barriers to carrying out this research. At East China Normal University, Zhang Jishun gave me invaluable advice

It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure.

  • European and Chinese Coinage Before the Age of Steam*
    《中國文化研究所學報》 Journal of Chinese Studies No. 55 - July 2012 The Great Money Divergence: European and Chinese Coinage before the Age of Steam* Niv Horesh University of Western Sydney 1. Introduction Economic historians have of late been preoccupied with mapping out and dating the “Great Divergence” between north-western Europe and China. However, relatively few studies have examined the path dependencies of either region insofar as the dynamics monetiza- tion, the spread of fiduciary currency or their implications for financial factor prices and domestic-market integration before the discovery of the New World. This article is de- signed to highlight the need for such a comprehensive scholarly undertaking by tracing the varying modes of coin production and circulation across Eurasia before steam-engines came on stream, and by examining what the implications of this currency divergence might be for our understanding of the early modern English and Chinese economies. “California School” historians often challenge the entrenched notion that European technological or economic superiority over China had become evident long before the * Emeritus Professor Mark Elvin in Oxfordshire, Professor Hans Ulrich Vogel at the University of Tübingen, Professor Michael Schiltz and Professor Akinobu Kuroda 黑田明伸 at Tokyo University have all graciously facilitated the research agenda in comparative monetary his- tory, which informs this study.

Abstract. Shanhai Jing is one of the most important ancient books in the pre- Qin period. Under the condition of the new era, this also has attracted the attention of the academia increasingly. Scholars have studied it from different angles. In the process of studying on Shanhai Jing‟s relevant text documents , the scholars were more from the following three aspects on the researching of Shanhai Jing: in the first place, the scholars discussed the value of Shanhai Jing form different subject areas; in the second place, some scholars discussed some fundamental researches on the subjects of Shanhai Jing‟s author, the property, the writing time and the content, in this process, they mainly focus on the angle of the real problems and the fantastic arguments; in the third place, the discussion area is researching on the current situations of Shanhai Jing. By combing the relevant academic achievements, not only can promote the academic understanding of Shanhai Jing in macroscopic aspect, but also can make a clear direction for further detailed interpretation of Shanhai Jing. Introduction Since published, Shanhai Jing has always been seen as a controversial book. Generally speaking, the ancients had mixed reviews on Shanhai Jing, The majority of which was denounced. While, under the social and cultural background of modern society, the status of Shanhai Jing has undergone earth-shaking changes, the scholars have become the research focus of Shanhai Jing In many fields.

By focusing on the history writing project commissioned by the Later Tang (923-936) court, it first aims at questioning how early-tenth-century contemporaries narrated some of the major events as they unfolded after the fall of the Tang (618-907). Second, it shows how both late- tenth-century historiographical agencies and eleventh-century historians perceived and enhanced these historical narratives. Through an analysis of selected cases the thesis attempts to show how, using the same source material, later historians enhanced early-tenth-century narratives in order to tell different stories. The five cases examined offer fertile ground for inquiry into how the different sources dealt with narratives on the rise and fall of the Shatuo Later Tang and Later Jin (936- 947). It will be argued that divergent narrative details are employed both to depict in different ways the characters involved and to establish hierarchies among the historical agents.

    sustainability Article China’s Special Poor Areas and Their Geographical Conditions Xin Xu 1,2, Chengjin Wang 1,2,*, Shiping Ma 1,2 and Wenzhong Zhang 1,2 1 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] (X.X.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (W.Z.) 2 College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Special functional areas and poor areas tend to spatially overlap, and poverty is a common feature of both. Special poor areas, taken as a kind of “policy space,” have attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers around the world. This study proposes a basic concept of special poor areas and uses this concept to develop a method to identify them. Poor counties in China are taken as the basic research unit and overlaps in spatial attributes including old revolutionary bases, borders, ecological degradation, and ethnic minorities, are used to identify special poor areas. The authors then analyze their basic quantitative structure and pattern of distribution to determine the geographical bases’ formation and development. The results show that 304 counties in China, covering a vast territory of 12 contiguous areas that contain a small population, are lagging behind the rest of the country. These areas are characterized by rich energy and resource endowments, important ecological functions, special historical status, and concentrated poverty. They are considered “special poor” for geographical reasons such as a relatively harsh natural geographical environment, remote location, deteriorating ecological environment, and an inadequate infrastructure network and public service system.

  • Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Coin quality, coin quantity, and coin value in early China and the Roman world Version 2.0 September 2010 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: In ancient China, early bronze ‘tool money’ came to be replaced by round bronze coins that were supplemented by uncoined gold and silver bullion, whereas in the Greco-Roman world, precious-metal coins dominated from the beginnings of coinage. Chinese currency is often interpreted in ‘nominalist’ terms, and although a ‘metallist’ perspective used be common among students of Greco-Roman coinage, putatively fiduciary elements of the Roman currency system are now receiving growing attention. I argue that both the intrinsic properties of coins and the volume of the money supply were the principal determinants of coin value and that fiduciary aspects must not be overrated. These principles apply regardless of whether precious-metal or base-metal currencies were dominant. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] How was the valuation of ancient coins related to their quality and quantity? How did ancient economies respond to coin debasement and to sharp increases in the money supply relative to the number of goods and transactions? I argue that the same answer – that the result was a devaluation of the coinage in real terms, most commonly leading to price increases – applies to two ostensibly quite different monetary systems, those of early China and the Roman Empire. Coinage in Western and Eastern Eurasia In which ways did these systems differ? 1 In Western Eurasia coinage arose in the form of oblong and later round coins in the Greco-Lydian Aegean, made of electron and then mostly silver, perhaps as early as the late seventh century BCE.

  • Partial Reform, Vested Interests, and Small Property
    THE POLITICS OF CHINESE LAND: PARTIAL REFORM, VESTED INTERESTS, AND SMALL PROPERTY Shitong Qiao' Abstract This paper investigates the evolution of the Chinese land regime in the past three decades and focus on one question: why has the land use reform succeeded in the urban area, but not in the rural area? Through asking this question, it presents a holistic view of Chinese land reform, rather than the conventional "rural land rights conflict" picture. This paper argues that the so- called rural land problem is the consequence of China's partial land use reform. In 1988, the Chinese government chose to conduct land use reform sequentially: first urban and then rural. It was a pragmatic move because it would provoke much less resistance. It also made local governments in China the biggest beneficiary and supporter of the partial reform. However, a beneficiary of partial reform does not necessarily support further reform because of the excessive rents available between the market of urban real estate and the government-controlled system of rural land development and transfer. On the other hand, Chinese farmers and other relevant groups have no voice or power in the political process of the reform, which makes it 'Assistant Professor, University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law; J.S.D.
