Local Social Governance in the People's Republic of China
with Minglu Chen (Sydney) and Beibei Tang (XJTLU).
In 2021, the People's Republic of China adopted a policy goal of 'Common Prosperity' designed to ensure sustainable economic growth, greater equality, and increased welfare provision. The development of new forms of local social governance have been highlighted as central to those ends. This project will examine the prospects for local social governance, as well as the changing relationships between state and society, and between central control and local governance that result. Research will be undertaken in Suzhou, Taiyuan and Lanzhou. The project has significance for the academic understanding of models of development under authoritarianism, and in wider context of China's future growth potential.
