Focusing on the mainland’s vast, mainly rural population and its long and complicated history, it analyzes rural welfare from the imperial dynasties, to the socialist planned economy under Mao Zedong, to its recent history in the current market economy. Findings from government and academics explore salient topics such as urban\/rural inequity, the situation of migrant workers, change of social security system, the community development of the countryside, and the relationships of rural welfare policy with social structure, cultural background, economic development and political  institution. This broad and deep knowledge gives readers the tools necessary for understanding the relationship of China’s unique and nuanced past to its prominent status in the evolving global economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Among the book’s topics: \u0026lt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Welfare studies in the West and China\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Welfare practice in the period of 1840-1949\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Creation of the Socialist Welfare System: socialist reformation and construction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         The Social Security system in rural China, 1979-1998\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Re-collectivized process in welfare and economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e        Welfare’s political contexts: rural grass-roots democracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its accessible, up-to-date coverage and holistic approach to its subject, \u003ci\u003eRural Welfare in China\u003c\/i\u003e will find a diverse interested audience, including sociologists, political economists, and social policymakers.              \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-06-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319566252\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-56627-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 223\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547319980172,"sku":"9783319566252","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319566252_d277b883-9fa5-4c3d-8b0f-462493ddc5e6.jpg?v=1772925447","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319566252","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
