Regional focus: China
My reasearch and teaching has been focused on the political economy of development in East Asia, especially China. I am interested in the question of power and space. My first book, Making Captialism in China: The Taiwan Connection, focuses on the role of culture in inter-regional capital flows. In my second book, The Great Urban Tansformation: Politics of Land and Property in China, I examine the issue of territorality. I look at how the transformation of the state and the society shapes and is shaped by land battles in Chinese cities and villages. My co-edited book, Reclaiming Chinese Society, looks at China’s emerging social activism in the struggles over distribution, recognition, and representation. My current project concerns the cultural and environmental politics in Northwestern China. For my research I draw inspiration from ethnographical work: in-depth interviews and participatory observation with a reflexive perspective. I believe that theorizing starts from muddy realities. It is a process of open dialogues and self-reflections, of which the historical and the geographical, the institutional and the emotional are all indispensable parts.

Product Description
As China is transformed, relations between society, the state, and the city have become central. The Great Urban Transformation investigates what is happening in cities, the urban edges, and the rural fringe in order to explain these relations. In the inner city of major metropolitan centers, municipal governments battle high-ranking state agencies to secure land rents from redevelopment projects, while residents mobilize to assert property and residential rights. At the urban edge, as metropolitan governments seek to extend control over their rural hinterland through massive-scale development projects, villagers strategize to profit from the encroaching property market. At the rural fringe, township leaders become brokers of power and property between the state bureaucracy and villages, while large numbers of peasants are dispossessed, dispersed, and deterritorialized, and their mobilizational capacity is consequently undermined.
The Great Urban Transformation explores these issues, and provides an integrated analysis of the city and the countryside, elite politics and grassroots activism, legal-economic and socio-political issues of property rights, and the role of the state and the market in the property market.

2016.01.12 重读,感觉只有四个字:不得不服。这么多年绕来绕去,直到重读这本书才意识到,心里头的很多草都是在入学第一天开始读这本书的时候种下的。虽说拔草的方法万千,这本书也未必一定是最好的一个,但是就当下这个领域的研究而言,当属最佳之列。|| 2012.11.19标注: 书总体上是很好的,借助了社会学和人类学的方法论和其他素材,讲了很多个城市的故事,提供了很多洞见。但是作者想搭的架子太过全面,同时很大程度上以空间结构(中国城市化的三个面向)为导向,而非以故事和进程为中心,以至于为了契合空间上预设的框架而没办法去说透故事,稍有遗憾。
评分此类书越读越无感:抗争,拆迁。学者们大多有了政治正确的立场。并不是所有的真话都说。实证研究,费了好大力气,实证了,忘了研究。
评分看了开头和结尾,没有时间(懒)。要是reading是这本不是concrete dragon比较好。
评分哈哈,耶~
