Book Synopsis Tax Reform in Rural China by : Hiroki Takeuchi
Download or read book Tax Reform in Rural China written by Hiroki Takeuchi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does China maintain authoritarian rule while it is committed to market-oriented economic reforms? This book analyzes this puzzle by offering a systematic analysis of the central-local governmental relationship in rural China, focusing on rural taxation and political participation. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Chinese local officials and villagers, and combining them with game-theoretic analyses, it argues that the central government uses local governments as a target of blame for the problems that the central government has actually created. The most recent rural tax reforms, which began in 2000, were a conscious trade-off between fiscal crises and rural instability. For the central government, local fiscal crises and the lack of public goods in agricultural areas were less serious concerns than the heavy financial burdens imposed on farmers and the rural unrest that the predatory extractive behavior of local governments had generated in the 1990s, which threatened both economic reforms and authoritarian rule.
Book Synopsis Rural Tax Reform in China by : Linda Chelan Li
Download or read book Rural Tax Reform in China written by Linda Chelan Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines questions of change and inertia in the context of the longstanding grievances over excessive taxation in rural China. How can some changes be sustained, whilst others cannot? How can a longstanding administrative practice be changed or even terminated, especially when previous attempts at change have failed? Using extensive interview data with local and central bureaucrats, Li's findings highlight the role of parallel developments and agency in the change process, as well as the prevalence of contingency and uncertainty. It also elegantly blends the narrative of the rural tax and administrative reforms with theoretical discussions to deepen our understanding of policy process and institutional change in 21st century China. Despite the authoritarian political system, the Chinese state-in-action which emerges from this book sees actions stemming from both the central and local levels, mediated by strategic design as well as contingency. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies, political science and policy and development studies.
Book Synopsis Taxation without Representation in Contemporary Rural China by : Thomas P. Bernstein
Download or read book Taxation without Representation in Contemporary Rural China written by Thomas P. Bernstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial burden imposed upon the Chinese farmer by local taxes has become a major source of discontent in the Chinese countryside and a worrisome source of political and social instability for the Chinese government. Bernstein and Lü examine the forms and sources of heavy, informal taxation, and shed light on how peasants defend their interests by adopting strategies of collective resistance (both peaceful and violent). Bernstein and Lü also explain why the central government, while often siding with the peasants, has not been able to solve the burden problem by instituting a sound, reliable financial system in the countryside. While the regime has, to some extent, sought to empower farmers to defend their interests - by informing them about tax rules, expanding the legal system, and instituting village elections, for example, these attempts have not yet generated enough power from 'below' to counter powerful, local official agencies.
Book Synopsis Rural Tax Reform and Authoritarian Rule in China by : Hiroki Takeuchi
Download or read book Rural Tax Reform and Authoritarian Rule in China written by Hiroki Takeuchi and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I suggest that if the Chinese leadership wants to enjoy political stability in poor agricultural areas and maintain its authority as a ruling Party in the long run, the answer lies not in blaming bad governance on local governments or undermining local authorities' popular legitimacy and administrative capacity, but in expanding true institutions of democratic accountability.
Download or read book China's Economy written by Deng Zhenglai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing ten quality chapters on China''s rural reforms and agricultural development, this first volume from the Series on Developing China: Translated Research from China emphasizes the importance of countryside, agriculture and the role of peasants in China''s economy. While the Chinese revolution has traveled a path of OC encircling the cities from the rural areasOCO, Chinese reforms were likewise started in promoting the household contract responsibility system in the rural areas OCo the majority of its population living in the countryside makes it the focus of the reforms. Such structural issues that readjustment of interests entailed as urban-rural divide and poor-rich gap are closely related to the rural reform. For this, a rural study centered on the three rural issues (agriculture, rural areas and peasants), or peasantography, is actually an academic OC gold mineOCO, which contains the richest possibilities for Chinese social science to contribute to the world. The above mentioned chapters cover an extensive range of issues in rural reform and agricultural development in China, including property right, food trade structure, the Township and Village Enterprises, non-agricultural employment, the mobility of labor force, land distribution, taxation and saving behavior. The research approach ranges from a macro- to microeconomics level, while in terms of research methodology, property theory, game model and quantitative economics are used, in combination with historiography and empirical case studies. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Academic Inquiries into the Chinese Success Story (116 KB).

Book Synopsis The Politics of Rural Reform in China by : Christian Göbel
Download or read book The Politics of Rural Reform in China written by Christian Göbel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a treasure trove of information collected through fieldwork interviews and painstaking documentary research through the Chinese and Western language presses, this book analyzes one of the most important reforms implemented in China over the past decade – the rural tax and fee reform, also known as the "Third Revolution in the Countryside". The aim of the tax was to improve social stability in rural China, which has become increasingly shaken by peasant protests, many of them large-scale and violent. By examining the gap between the intentions of the reform and the eventual outcomes, Göbel provides new insights into the nature of intergovernmental relations in China and highlights the ways in which the relationship between the state and the rural populace has fundamentally changed forever. The Politics of Rural Reform in China will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese politics, governance and development studies.

Book Synopsis China's Tax Reform Options by : Trish Fulton
Download or read book China's Tax Reform Options written by Trish Fulton and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-10-30 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is now facing the challenge of designing and carrying out new reforms of its taxation system. This book covers a wide range of topics critical to China's future tax reform. Several prominent scholars and government officials have contributed papers which range from general tax issues to specific problem areas in tax policy design, implementation and legislation in China. The collaborative efforts between the Chinese and foreign scholars combine first hand knowledge of the current situation of China's tax reform with modern economic theory and methodology, and highlight key issues which are the focus of research on China's tax system today. Several papers also examine the linkages between tax reform and reforms in other areas in China, such as monetary and housing reforms, thus giving a more complete picture of the task ahead.
Book Synopsis How Has Rural Tax Reform Affected Farmers and Local Governance in China? by : Tao Ran
Download or read book How Has Rural Tax Reform Affected Farmers and Local Governance in China? written by Tao Ran and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using nationally representative data, the present paper examines the impact of China's ongoing rural tax reform on farmers. The difficulties in further local governance restructuring are also discussed. It is argued that the issues associated with rural taxation and local governance in China result from inherent tension between an increasingly liberalized economic system and a still centralized political system. Although rural tax reform has helped to reduce farmers' tax burdens in the short term, the establishment of an effective local governance regime requires coordinated reforms to downsize local bureaucracy by providing social security for laid-off cadres, to strengthen local accountability by granting higher local formal tax autonomy, and to promote meaningful participation by expanding local democracy.

Book Synopsis Rural Informal Taxation in China by : Justin Y. Lin
Download or read book Rural Informal Taxation in China written by Justin Y. Lin and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present paper examines the historical evolution of China's rural taxation system from the pre-reform period to the late 1990s. We propose that because of information asymmetry between the upper-level and the lower-level governments, local governments had to be granted some informal tax autonomy to fulfill the upper-level policy mandates. This easily led to excessive local informal taxation on farmers. As market liberalization of the grain sector progressed, the low-cost tax instruments implemented through the traditional approach of implicit taxation gradually eroded. Local governments in agricultural regions had to resort to informal fees collected directly from individual rural households while the more industrialized regions shifted to non-agricultural taxes that are less costly in terms of tax collection. Hence, political tension between farmers and local governments in agriculture-based regions emerged and rural tax reform became necessary.
Book Synopsis Inequality and Public Policy in China by : Björn A. Gustafsson
Download or read book Inequality and Public Policy in China written by Björn A. Gustafsson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-07 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines trends in inequality in the People's Republic of China. It contains findings on inequality nationwide, as well as within the rural and urban sectors, with an emphasis on public policy considerations. Several chapters focus on inequality of income; others analyse poverty, inequality in wealth, and the distribution of wages. Attention is given to groups such as migrants, women, and the elderly, as well as the relationship between income and health care funding and the impact of the rural tax reform. All contributors to this volume make use of a large, nationwide survey of Chinese households, the product of long-term co-operation between Chinese and international researchers that is unique in its scope and duration. Using these data, the contributors examine changes in inequality from 1988 to 2002.
Download or read book Rural Tax Reform written by Shuo Chen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper assesses the impact of rural tax reform on agricultural productivity, rural incomes and local public finance in China using data covering 1997 Chinese counties and the period from 1999 to 2009 spanning the abolition of agricultural taxation in 2003. Using comparable later-reformed counties as controls, the abolition was shown to have increased agricultural productivity and rural incomes, but led county governments to reallocate land from the agricultural sector to industrial and commercial uses, which gives them extra-budgetary revenue to compensate for the budgetary loss. The abolition's impact on the agricultural productivity, rural-urban income gap and on the local governments resource allocation is likely to have influenced the migration and urbanization process in China.
