The Emergence of a Market Society: Between Redistribution and Markets in China

[309651]这个项目将用1989年在中国农村进行的全国社会调查的数据来检验从国家社会主义向市场过渡的理论。由于市场取代了社会主义的再分配，机会和激励结构的变化产生了相对于再分配组织更有利于直接生产者的条件，从而产生了分层动态的根本变化。本研究将市场转型理论扩展到农村工业增长、市场转移的区域差异和收入不平等加剧所带来的实证挑战。新的制度主义视角也将有助于实证分析，因为对市场嵌入性的假设进行了检验，扩大了当前经济社会学的社会网络视角，以包括经济的制度框架。这些结果将对社会变迁的科学文献以及经济社会学有重大贡献。所获得的知识也将提供给决策者和其他需要了解中国目前正在发生的变化的人。＊＊＊

9309651 Nee This project will test theories of market transitions from state socialism with data from a national social survey conducted in rural China in 1989. As markets replace socialist redistribution, changes in the structure of opportunity and incentives give rise to conditions more favorable to direct producers relative to redistributive organizations, thus producing fundamental changes in the dynamics of stratification. This study will extend market transition theory to empirical challenges posed by the growth of rural industry, regional variation in the shift to markets, and increasing income inequality. A new institutionalist perspective will also contribute to the empirical analysis, as hypotheses are tested on the embeddedness of markets, expanding the current social network perspective of economic sociology to include the institutional framework of the economy. %%% The results will contibute significantly to the scientific literature on social change, as well as to economic sociology. The knowledge gained will also be available to policy-makers and others who need to understand the changes currently in progress in China. ***
