The Review and Mechanism of China's Urban Social Support after 1949

摘要

Chinese urban social support system needs comparative and empirical study. In this study, you can find a short literature review on existing studies on Chinese case. After defined the variables of this study, I figure out the essential developmental process of Chinese urban social support. Then, I use an empirical way to support my hypothesis that, in China's authoritarian society, the government choose to adopt a social support system that correspond with the demands of the alliance composed by the ruling party and its allied classes, which would reflect the change of its regime legitimacy. Moreover, I also challenge the Kasza's theory in this study.
