Klappentext This book analyzes the decollectivization reform in China during the early 1980s in order to gauge its impact on central control and provincial discretion. The volume challenges the notion that the decision to decentralize administrative authority ipso facto produces local discretion properly keyed to local conditions. In fact, outcomes often differ from the intended goals. Zusammenfassung The author gauges the impact of agricultural decentralization on the scope of central control and provincial discretion in China in the early 1980s. He finds that outcomes may often differ significantly from intended goals and suggests the role played by bureaucratic careerism is crucial.
