Whiting advances institutional economic theory with original survey and fieldwork data, addressing two puzzles in Chinese political economy: how economic development has occurred despite insecure property rights and weak rule of law; and how the Chinese state has maintained political control amid unrest. Whiting answers these questions by focusing on the role of illiberal law in reassigning property rights and redirecting grievances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reveals that, in the context of technological change, a legal system that facilitates reassignment of land rights to higher-value uses plays an important and under-theorised role in promoting economic development. This system simultaneously represses conflict and asserts legitimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComparing China to post-Glorious Revolution England and contemporary India, Whiting presents an exciting new argument that brings the Chinese case more directly into debates in comparative politics about the role of the state in specifying property rights and maintaining authoritarian rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934092902636,"sku":"9781316512098","price":337.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781316512098-illiberal-law-and-development.jpg?v=1783894869"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/susan-whiting.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
