As such an understanding of the Chinese economy, its potential and its potential to slow, is essential to US and European businesses. |

Land ownership reform was a key factor in the communist victory. Initial reform implemented by the communist part both before and immediately after the 1949 victory lead to increases in output and social harmony. Subsequent reforms to collectivise agricultural land were less successful. The most recent reforms clearly draw on the successes and failures of the past, most recently to increase security of tenure for farmers. This paper traces the waves of land ownership reform from the 1911 revolution through to current initiatives. |

It is unjustified to claim that without 1911 there would have been no public sphere in China. The conditions for a vibrant public sphere in urban China were set before 1911, including a long tradition of local public action and consultation mediated by the elite and directed toward affecting relations between state and society, the openness and protection in the treaty ports and through the xinzheng reforms, which set in place moves toward representative democracy. In fact, the turmoil that followed 1911 created dysfunction in the public sphere that did exist and often set public opinion in violent opposition with the state; a stark contrast to the generally more harmonious relationship between the public and state in earlier times. |
