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. 517 3 $aScience and policy in Deng's China 606 $aBirth control$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aFamily Planning Policy$xhistory 606 $aBirth Rate 606 $aFamily Planning Services$xhistory 606 $aHistory, 20th Century 606 $aPopulation Control$xhistory 606 $aPopulation Growth 606 $aPublic Policy 607 $aChina$xPopulation policy 607 $aChina 615 0$aBirth control$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 12$aFamily Planning Policy$xhistory. 615 22$aBirth Rate. 615 22$aFamily Planning Services$xhistory. 615 22$aHistory, 20th Century. 615 22$aPopulation Control$xhistory. 615 22$aPopulation Growth. 615 22$aPublic Policy. 676 $a363.9/60951 700 $aGreenhalgh$b Susan$0951650 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bBAKER 801 2$bBTCTA 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bC#P 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248346303316 996 $aJust one child$92316836 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
