“…As suggested by my analysis of TVEs and local corporatism along the theme of dual‐track reform paradigm, it is reasonable to argue that the gradualist path may be more appropriate for the initial phase of economic transition, while the big‐bang path may be imperative for the later phase. In this sense, my argument echoes the views that it is irrelevant (Oi, 1999), simplistic (Rozelle and Swinnen, 2003) and misleading (Jin and Haynes, 1997) to consider the gradualist and big‐bang policies as mutually exclusive. China's experience seems to suggest that an integration of both gradualist and big‐bang approaches may be necessary, with the gradualist policy for the initial phase and the big‐bang policy for the later phase, rather than two mutually exclusive paths.…”

“…Recognizing the strengths and limitations of each competing view, my analysis suggests a possible third view that considers both approaches as equally valid for two different phases (cf. Rozelle and Swinnen, 2003). As suggested by my analysis of TVEs and local corporatism along the theme of dual‐track reform paradigm, it is reasonable to argue that the gradualist path may be more appropriate for the initial phase of economic transition, while the big‐bang path may be imperative for the later phase.…”

“…Consequently, researchers have different conclusions about the policy and theory implications of TVEs and local corporatism. This is tied to the larger debate over the superiority of the gradualist versus rapid approaches such as ‘big bang’ or ‘shock therapy’ (Rozelle and Swinnen, 2003; Woo, 1999; also see Megginson and Netter, 2001; Zahra et al, 2000).…”

The Puzzle of China's Township–Village Enterprises The Paradox of Local Corporatism in a Dual-Track Economic Transition

This paper seeks to reconcile and synthesize the diverse views about the township–village enterprises (TVEs) and local corporatism in the context of ongoing institutional changes in China as a transition economy. Specifically, I attempt to integrate the economic, political, cultural, and social explanations for TVEs, especially the two competing views of market competition and political corruption. I focus on the puzzle of TVE efficiency as well as the paradox of local corporatism as a government–business partnership with both a positive function of public alliance for wealth creation and a negative function of private collusion for wealth transfer. I argue that the key to both the puzzle of TVEs and the paradox of local corporatism lies in China's dual‐track reform paradigm (i.e. a market‐for‐mass track and a state‐for‐élite track). Lastly, I discuss the critical implications for theory building and policymaking regarding economic transition in general.

“…Además de esto, al no existir la intervención del Estado en procesos administrativos de asignación de tierras se dispone de mayores recursos para la inversión en infraestructura, favoreciendo la productividad.

La pregunta que guió este trabajo fue ¿Cuáles son los resultados de las entregas directas de tierras realizadas por el INCORA por medio de la expedición de la Ley 160 de 1994? A partir de esta pregunta, el objetivo fundamental que se trazó fue analizar dos entregas de tierras realizadas por el INCORA en el municipio de Córdoba, Quindío en el marco de la Ley 160 de 1994. Este análisis se hizo desde el punto de vista de diferentes visiones teóricas y de historia política, social y económica que se han tenido sobre el problema de la distribución de la propiedad rural en Colombia. Las conclusiones de esta investigación giran alrededor de las diferencias entre los casos, la falta de apoyo institucional a las entregas, la minifundización resultado de las intervenciones y la descripción desde un tipología de la reforma agraria desde la propuesta de Antonio García Nossa.

Policy Reform and Adjustment in the Agricultural Sectors of Developed Countries

This chapter reviews key agricultural policy reforms in transition countries and examines the resulting adjustments. The primary focus is on the Central and East European countries and those of the former Soviet Union - the Commonwealth of Independent States. The analysis indicates that some of the impacts of policy reforms were rather straightforward, but many were complex and interacted with other changes. In most cases, changes in output, input use and productivity were caused by a combination of initial conditions and reform policies. These interactions are particularly important in understanding changes in productivity and labour adjustment patterns.
