Hardback. Condition: New. During the early 1980s China embarked on what can be seen as one of the world's largest social experiments ever. Decollectivization meant much more than the reorganization of agricultural production into family based farming. It signaled significant changes to rural social relations, when privatization,… marketization and increased geographical mobility started tearing apart the economic and social institutions that had structured collective village life under Mao. The focus of this book is on how rural society has been reorganized in the 21st century. The first chapters outline the basic organizational structure of rural China and can be used as an introduction to the topic in a classroom setting. They show how the state and its social scientists draw up plans to overcome the perceived lack of rural social organization, and discuss the often problem-ridden implementation of their ideas. The second section presents case studies of institutions that organize key aspects of rural life: Boarding schools where rural children learn to accept organizational hierarchies; lineage organizations carving out new roles for themselves; "dragonhead enterprises" expected to organize agricultural production and support rural development, and several others. The book is of theoretical interest because of its focus on the re-embedding, or reintegration, of individuals into new types of collectivities, which are less predetermined by tradition and habit and more a matter of, at least perceived, individual choice. Most chapters are based on extensive fieldwork and contain vivid examples from daily life, which will make the book attractive to anyone who wants to understand how Chinese villagers experience the extraordinary social changes they are going through.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In China as in the rest of the world, microcredit has become increasingly popular as a tool for poverty alleviation. This book examines the microfinance revolution in China from a social capital perspective providing new insights into so…me of the difficulties encountered by microcredit programs in rural China. When microfinance and social capital are combined in an analysis, the purpose is often to explore how social capital is needed by potential clients in order to gain access to the program or how microcredit programs attempt to use the borrowers' groups to create social capital in the local community. This book broadens the perspective to include the possession of social capital by the microcredit program itself. This is especially relevant in China, where microcredit programs often collaborate closely with local authorities that are often directly involved in program implementation. It is argued that many of the specific problems encountered by Chinese microcredit programs are caused by this cooperation, which means that program becomes indistinguishable from the local partner in the eyes of the villagers.
