After examining the long term rural policies, either before or after the reform, it was found that all these polices have been expected to promote peasants’ interests and claimed to take enhancing peasants’ happiness as their goal. Nonetheless, the history and current reality of rural development have demonstrated that the same policy starting point had lead to very different policy designs. Even today, quite a few institutional arrangements with good intentions have ended up with opposite results and have even become bad policies that do harm to people. This book argues that the reason for such serious deviation, between political intentions and institutional arrangements, as well as between policy goals and its results is: as a political force, the peasantry itself has not effectively engaged with the political process of the country.  .SociologySocial policyPolitical scienceSociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Sociology.Social policy.Political science.Sociology, general.Social Policy.Political Science.305.56330951Zhao Shukaiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut855609BOOK9910252707203321The Politics of Peasants2528192UNINA
