To promote rural revitalization, the Chinese government has relaxed restrictions that have previously prevented the entry of rural land into commercial markets. The creation of rural land markets was intended to encourage investments in the countryside, modernize agriculture, and bolster non-agrarian models of growth. On the ground, however, rural land commodification has produced diverse outcomes, enriching some villagers through incorporation into land rent regimes while uprooting others from their land. Likewise, land transfer has been embraced by some as a means of income generation but criticized by others as a cover for land takings. What explains these differences in outcome and response? This presentation proposes a comparative framework for analyzing the politics, practice, and variegated impact of rural land commodification. Based on multi-sited ethnography, it presents evidence of how the different regimes of accumulation put in place by State and corporate actors produce uneven outcomes for the local communities involved.
为了促进农村振兴，中国政府已经放宽了以前阻止农村土地进入商业市场的限制。建立农村土地市场的目的是为了鼓励对农村的投资，使农业现代化，并支持非农业的增长模式。然而，农村土地商品化产生了不同的结果，通过纳入地租制度使一些村民致富，而另一些村民则被赶出了他们的土地。同样，土地流转被一些人视为创收的手段，而被另一些人批评为土地征用的掩护。是什么原因导致了这些结果和反应上的差异？本报告提出了一个比较框架，用于分析农村土地商品化的政治、实践和不同的影响。在多地点民族志的基础上，它提出了国家和企业行为者建立的不同积累制度如何为相关的地方社区产生不平衡的结果的证据。
