Beskrivning
Every day in the People’s Republic of China 70 million people receive help from the state through the minimum livelihood guarantee (dibao). What began as a reform in the city of Shanghai in the early 1990s is now a key component in the measures used by the Communist Party of China to maintain social stability and legitimacy. While scholars regularly discuss how effective dibao has been in alleviating poverty very little addresses what influenced its development. This book argues that in order to understand dibao we need to look at how the programme emerged and how it has developed in the years since. Drawing on newspaper articles, government reports and interviews with key officials and researchers, the book also addresses debate on the policy process in China as a whole.

Recensioner i media

This outstanding study of the genesis and evolution of China’s Minimum Livelihood Guarantee will stand as the authoritative English-language source for this policy. Based on incisive interviews with key players and a fine eye for the critical detail in documentary sources, Hammond pulls together the contributions elite politics, state structure, and resources—each of them superbly analyzed--made to the scheme. His public policy approach is brimming with insights into how China operates more broadly.
