From Brigade to Village Community: The Land Tenure System and Rural Development in China

Abstract: Although there are manifold problems in the current land tenure and land use systems, family tenure has been a better organizational form for utilizing farmland than was collective tenure. Community-based allocation is an important element in a transitional economic operating mechanism and it may be merely a temporary phenomenon. Market coordination can only be introduced gradually into the process of land allocation by further reform of the existing socioeconomic framework. Steady growth depends on long-term, integrated rural development. (c) 1993 Academic Press, Inc. Copyright 1993 by Oxford University Press.
