Summary

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.
