| Description: |
Presents a comprehensive survey of China's local administration. This book considers different kinds of local government units and their administrative functions - ranging from the provinces, centrally-administered municipalities and autonomous regions to prefectures, counties, townships and urban districts. |
| Synopsis: |
The remarkable changes in China over the past three decades are mostly considered at the national level, whereas local government - which has played and continues to play a key role in these developments - is often overlooked. The themes of China's local administrative hierarchy, and its historical evolution, have until now received scant attention; this book fills that gap, and presents a comprehensive survey of China's local administration, from the province down to the township. It examines the political and functional definitions and historical origins of the nine local administrative levels or categories in contemporary China: the province, the centrally-administered municipality, the ethnic minority autonomous region, the special administrative region, the deputy-provincial city, the prefecture, the county, township and urban district. It investigates how each of the different levels of China's local administration has developed historically, both before and after 1949; and it explores the functions, political and economic, that the different levels and units carry out, and how their relationships with superior and subordinate units have evolved over time.It also discusses how far the post-Mao reforms have affected local administration, and how the local administrative hierarchy is likely to develop going forward. |
