Abstract:

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 60 years ago, the country has experienced profound institutional transformation, which includes various milestones such as “land to the tiller,” the People’s Commune, household contract responsibility system and a new approach to rural administration. Before reform and opening-up in 1978, China’s rural reform was primarily a mandatory process, and after 1978, it became an induced process. In the future, rural institutional transformation still enjoys a broad prospect and must be deepened, and the focus is to advance the relocation of rural surplus labor, establish a land use system and improve rural public services. Institutional urban-rural divide must be eliminated to promote integrated socioeconomic development of urban and rural areas.
Key words: institutional transformation, rural reform, institutional innovation
