What Is Labour? PARADOXES OF LABOUR REFORM Chinese Worlds Chinese Worlds publishes high-quality scholarship, research monographs, and source collections on Chinese history and society from 1900 in the 21st century. 'Worlds' signals the ethnic, cultural, and political multiformity and regional diversity of China, the cycles of unity and division through which China's modern history has passed, and recent research trends toward regional studies and local issues. It also signals that Chineseness is not contained within terri­ torial borders - some migrant communities overseas are also 'Chinese Worlds'. Other ethnic Chinese communities throughout the world have evolved new identities that transcend Chineseness in its established senses. They too are covered by this series. The editors see them as part of a political, economic, social, and cultural continuum that spans the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, South-East Asia, and the world. The focus of Chinese Worlds is on modern politics and society and his­ tory. It includes both history in its broader sweep and specialist mono­ graphs on Chinese politics, anthropology, political economy, sociology, education, and the social-science aspects of culture and religions.

The 'Scuola Superiore di Studi Storici di San Marino' (Higher School of Historical Studies of San Marino) accepted my project and funded my studies in the years between 1993 and 1997, when the research work for this book was undertaken. G.G. Feltrinelli Foundation in Milan also offered some financial support to my research. My gratitude goes to Tony Saich who accepted to act as my supervisor during the PhD that was the origin of this book and offered meaningful comments during the revision of my thesis for publication. Also, without his practical help (and the hospitality of his wife, Zeng Yinyin) my field visit in Beijing would have been impossible at a time when my 'budget constraints' were particu­ larly difficult. Some Chinese colleagues were both sources for my research and insightful advisors: Feng Lanrui, who had a great deal of stories to tell and a lot of experiences to share, Dai Yuanchen, Guo Shuqing, Zhao Shukai, Xiang Biao, Zhu Jianfang, Yuan Yue. I am also indebted to Steve McGurk for sharing with me his contacts in Beijing. Thanks are due to Flemming Christiansen, Anita Chan, Enrica Collotti Pischel and Guido Samarani who offered suggestions on earlier drafts of this study and were always ready to share Vll ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS information on their own research, and to two anonymous readers whose suggestions contributed to this final version. I am grateful to Nancy Hearst who agreed to spend her time and expertise to refine my English and my quotations. Mine, of course, remains the responsibility for all mistakes and inaccuracies in the text. I had the privilege to share this experience with many friends who have been valuable sources of encouragement. They will probably be relieved to know that this book goes to press. The heaviest burden was on Silvia's shoulders: thanks. Finally, this work is dedicated to my parents. Vlll 1 LABOUR THEORY AND PRACTICE AND THE MAKING OF A MARKET An Introduction 1.1 The Issue What is labour? To what extent did the continuous yet contra­ dictory evolution of theoretical understanding in this field affect the process of reform of existing socialism in China from the late 1970s to the early 1990s? Why is the theory of labour so intimately intertwined with the Chinese socialist policymaking process, and why did the ability of public policy to intervene as a regulatory tool in the reality of the labour economy diminish with the passing of time and with the emergence of new, different, and contending interpretations of the labour issue? To what extent is the evolution from a full-employment policy and full state-led allocation to labour market theory and practice the result of conscious policy options rather than merely of the 'retreat' of public intervention and the growing importance of 'market forces'? What does the word 'labour' mean at the end of this process and what purpose does this meaning serve? Questions arise at the beginning of every research study. The questions I have listed above emerge from my difficulties in tackling separately the two streams of economic reform, that is, the political/theoretical debates resulting from political struggles and elite politics on the one hand, and the transformation of economic and social life in Chinese urban centres on the other. 1 LABOUR THEORY AND PRACTICE The histories of theory and practice are generally kept separate, as they usually stem from different backgrounds and social circles, opposing or contradictory forces. This is impossible in the context of Chinese socialism. In the case of China, the claim to coordinate theory and praxis, thought and action, has been a challenge in the field of policy ever since the basic assumptions of all-embracing theories proved insufficient to address the social changes after the beginning of reform in 1978. The theoretical debate under social­ ism is an integral component of policymaking and, in most cases, players in the theoretical arena are involved directly in policy elaboration. It is hardly conceivable that any public theory on labour is not the formal result of political efforts. The 'theory' I will deal with in this study is therefore a prag­ matic (sometimes, however, only in its premises and not in its final outcom.e), policy-oriented concept, the ground for evaluation of which is - rather than its coherence with ideological frameworks ­ its ability to lead towards the formation of guiding principles of policymaking and to synthesise different positions into political or economic guidelines. The 'practice' to be investigated, in contrast, is the outcome of policy action, a result both of the implementa­ tion of planned guidelines and of general (economic, social, and political) constraints.

Mao Zedong was only 28 when he attended the first Congress, but he led that ruling party in 1949. John Fairbank wrote that no one in human history ever equaled that accomplishment, given the sheer size and magnificent history of China. How did the CCP come to power? The success was in part the result of early efforts under the Comintern to plan the revolution.

  • A Neighbourhood Under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars
    European Journal of East Asian Studies EJEAS . () – www.brill.nl/ejea A Neighbourhood under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars Christian Henriot Institut d’Asie orientale, Université de Lyon—Institut Universitaire de France [email protected] Abstract War was a major aspect of Shanghai history in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, because of the particular political and territorial divisions that segmented the city, war struck only in Chinese-administered areas. In this paper, I examine the fate of the Zhabei district, a booming industrious area that came under fire on three successive occasions. Whereas Zhabei could be construed as a success story—a rag-to-riches, swamp-to-urbanity trajectory—the three instances of military conflict had an increasingly devastating impact, from shaking, to stifling, to finally erase Zhabei from the urban landscape. This area of Shanghai experienced the first large-scale modern warfare in an urban setting. The skirmish established the pattern in which the civilian population came to be exposed to extreme forms of violence, was turned overnight into a refugee population, and lost all its goods and properties to bombing and fires. Keywords war; Shanghai; urban; city; civilian; military War is not the image that first comes to mind about Shanghai. In most accounts or scholarly studies, the city stands for modernity, economic prosperity and cultural novelty. It was China’s main financial centre, commercial hub, indus- trial base and cultural engine. In its modern history, however, Shanghai has experienced several instances of war. One could start with the takeover of the city in by the Small Sword Society and the later attempts by the Taip- ing armies to approach Shanghai.

I present a case study on a financially troubled, partially complete village reconstruc- tion project in Shandong. Villagers outside the leadership were minimally involved in project planning, and the village leadership put pressure on villagers to move. How- ever, the pressure to move was not due to an absence of formal property rights for villagers; reluctant villagers agreed to move because they could not afford to offend the village government.

As in other societies, China's formal welfare system is embedded in its social structure and its informal networks of self help and mutual aid. This thesis explores the development of one of China's major welfare bureaucracies - the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the local agencies which it supervises from 1949, with especial reference to the period between 1978 to 1988. The study begins by surveying the theories, both Western and socialist, that purport to explain the determinants of welfare.

Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.
