In the first book of its kind, Susan Greenhalgh draws on twenty years of research into China's population politics to explain how the leaders of a nation of one billion decided to limit all couples to one child. Focusing on the historic period 1978-80, when China was reentering the global capitalist system after decades of self-imposed isolation, Greenhalgh documents the extraordinary manner in which a handful of leading aerospace engineers hijacked the population policymaking process and formulated a strategy that treated people like missiles. Just One Child situates these science- and policy making practices in their broader contexts -- the scientization and statisticalization of socio-political life -- and provides the most detailed and incisive account yet of the origins of the one-child policy. In examining the larger issues relating to the interconnections between science and politics, this groundbreaking study develops a new, epistemic approach to the study of public policy and shows how, in China, scientific policymaking led directly to social suffering on a vast scale while giving birth to a technoscientific state."--Book cover.Science and policy in Deng's ChinaBirth controlChinaHistory20th centuryWomenSocial conditions20th centuryFamily Planning PolicyhistoryBirth RateFamily Planning ServiceshistoryHistory, 20th CenturyPopulation ControlhistoryPopulation GrowthPublic PolicyChinaPopulation policyChinaBirth controlHistoryWomenSocial conditionsFamily Planning Policyhistory.Birth Rate.Family Planning Serviceshistory.History, 20th Century.Population Controlhistory.Population Growth.Public Policy.363.9/60951Greenhalgh Susan951650DLCDLCBAKERBTCTAYDXCPC#PDLCBOOK996248346303316Just one child2316836UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
