The remarkable changes in China over the past three decades are mostly considered at the national level, whereas local government which has played and continues to play a key role in these developments is often overlooked. The themes of Chinas local administrative hierarchy, and its historical evolution, have until now received scant attention; this book fills that gap, and presents a comprehensive survey of Chinas local administration, from the province down to the township. It examines the political and functional definitions and historical origins of the nine local administrative levels or categories in contemporary China: the province, the centrallyadministered municipality, the ethnic minority autonomous region, the special administrative region, the deputyprovincial city, the prefecture, the county, township and urban district. It investigates how each of the different levels of Chinas local administration has developed historically, both before and after 1949; and it explores the functions, political and economic, that the different levels and units carry out, and how their relationships with superior and subordinate units have evolved over time. It also discusses how far the postMao reforms have affected local administration, and how the local administrative hierarchy is likely to develop going forward.
