Under China’s current land requisition system, local governments are endowed with the power to unilaterally set the compensation level for land requisition. However, in response to the official overly low compensation for land requisition, the land-losing farmers hoping to participate in the distribution of land increment revenue usually choose various “non- marketization” bargaining methods to negotiate with local governments. To a certain extent, this has relaxed the rigidity of the official compensation level for land requisition and made the actual compensation level for land requisition tremendously variable in reality. In order to uncover thedeterminants of the actual compensation level for land requisition in China, we analyzes the causal relationship between non-marketization bargaining factors, like land-losing farmers’ bargaining ability, bargaining strategy, external intervention, etc., and the actual compensation level for land requisition by taking the 70 land requisition conflict events occurring from 2002 to 2017 as the point of departure. The results of the empirical analysis show that if land-losing farmers have a relatively strong bargaining ability, forgo a radical bargaining strategy, and use a relatively gentle bargaining strategy instead, they can effectively force local governments to make concessions and compromises on the compensation level for land requisition. We not only enriches the existing research on the structure of social power, but it also has significance for the ongoing reform of the land requisition system.
