[T]his book is an excellently edited collection of most recent research on the political economy of rural China - but even more, in that it connects rich micro details with elaborated reflections on macro level questions of national and even global scale. It is thus a must read for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese politics, economy and society. - Anna L. Ahlers; ASIEN 123 (April 2012)

It is thus a must read for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese politics, economy and society. - Anna L. Ahlers; ASIEN 123 (April 2012) 'This edited book of 13 chapters is a rich addition to the academic understanding of the Chinese rural reforms, a much-needed examination of political and economic transformations and trends. The scholarship is solidly based in excellent original research data, and focuses on very recent policy changes while being grounded in solid history and drawing on the wider literature in politics, development and economics... I urge all scholars interested in rural reform to read the introduction and to explore individual articles of interest. The research and the bibliographic range are excellent, making this book a rich resource for understanding and exploring trends and implications of policy change in rural China.' - Michelle S. Mood, Kenyon College; The China Journal (July 2013). Scholars of rural political economy will find this book a fascinating read. S. A. Newland, University of California, Berkeley, CA
