This paper analyses how rural property rights reforms have reshaped grassroots governance in the rapid urbanisation process in China. The management and distribution of the villages’ collective property has become a flashpoint for local conflict when collective farmland is taken for urban uses. Changping, a rural district located on the northern periphery of Beijing, pioneered a property rights reform to convert villages’ collective assets into a new form of shareholding co-operative. Along with the election of a new board of directors that is now in charge of collective property, the reforms are redefining the jurisdiction of the party, the village government and the shareholding co-operative organisation, thus reconfiguring the political and economic power structure at the village level.

The results indicate that the main stakeholders are farmers, village organizations, and government. The Nash equilibrium solution is executing and joining respectively village organizations and farmers.

Accounts of neoliberalism have noted, but not fully explored, the neoliberal empowerment of corporations. The corporate power literature, similarly, rarely makes the connection between corporate agents and neoliberalism as a power structure. This article fills the gap between these literatures with a dual contribution. It develops these contributions by first reviewing the neoliberalism literature and in so doing, developing the idea of neoliberalism as a bricolage of practice and ideas. It then discusses the mischaracterization of the corporation within neoliberalism before deconstructing four core policy areas of neoliberalism – deregulation, non-intervention, free markets and free trade. In each policy area it is shown how the practice of these policies has enhanced the social and economic power of major corporations – thereby deepening practice-based accounts of neoliberalism – and how the discourse of these policies has empowered corporations in the political arena – thereby deepening the corporate power literature’s account of how corporations operate powerfully. More generally this article offers a much fuller account of how 40 years of ‘free market’ policies have resulted in the creation of oligopolistic corporate economies.

In the villages of Jiaojiang district in Taizhou municipality, longstanding customs like the husband takes in a wife and the wife marries out to a husband have been made into binding norms by the so-called “village regulations and people’s agreements.” It is commonly thought that to interfere in the marriages of community members, especially to compel wives to move to the husbands’ residence, goes against the law and wrongfully invades the rights of rural women—something traceable to “feudal notions” of male superiority and female inferiority. In reality, however, it is collectivization of land and planned child-births that have altered the traditional village. Such traditional customs have been sustained not by the natural village but rather by the administrative village under the system of collective ownership of land. The absurdity consists in the fact that the village collectivity, which ostensibly broke with tradition, was actually something that combined blood ties and spatial ties into a single entity, such that rural populations enjoy collective land rights on the basis of blood and marriage ties. In that way, the custom of the husband taking in a wife and the wife marrying out to a husband, written into village regulations, has actually formed the required standard for maintaining orderly distribution of collective property benefits. The key to the problem thus consists not in so-called “protecting women’s rights” or changing customs, but rather in dissolving the entrapment of property rights with status. This article is in Chinese. 在台州市椒江区农村,多以村规民约的形式把男娶女嫁等习俗做成强制性的规范。通常认为,对社员婚嫁的干涉、尤其是强制妇女从夫居是与法律相抵触,并侵犯了农村妇女的权益,其根源在于男尊女卑观念和封建意识。但实际上,土地集体所有制和计划生育政策改变了传统乡村。传统习俗所依附的不是自然村落而是土地集体所有制框架下的行政村。问题的悖谬更在于作为与传统决裂而建构的村集体还是个血缘与地域合一的组织,农村人口凭基于血缘与婚姻的身份享受集体地权。如此,被纳入村规中的男娶女嫁等习俗也已经成了维护集体资产利益有序分配的必要规范。所以,问题不在于所谓的“妇女维权”或移风易俗,关键在于如何解开产权 和身份的纠缠。
