Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1993.

This thesis is a sociological study of the process of commercialization and its consequences as seen through private enterprise in a Chinese city. It critiques extant sociological studies of private enterprise in China and Hungary which view private enterprise as linked to an emerging separation or opposition of the state and society. Instead, it draws on concepts from economic sociology: the agent-principal-constituent model of state-society relations; economic action as social cognition; and social networks. It analyzes (1) how private enterprise expands into capitalism and (2) the role that the emerging capitalist business class is likely to play as agents of change. The first major finding is that the expansion of private enterprise is embedded in social networks (guanxi) between entrepreneurs and local officials. The link between social background and entrepreneurial guanxi strategies is documented. The second major finding is that the emerging entrepreneurial class seeks vertical alliances with officials rather than horizontal alliances with other subordinated social groups. However, entrepreneurs are nevertheless creating a civil society through the use of their wealth to create a consumer culture and to patronize organized religion. A theory of "community capitalism" is posited which emphasizes the development of private enterprise through a symbiotic alliance between local state and society actors and the emerging challenge that this alliance constitutes for central state power. The data comes from fieldwork conducted over a year and half period from 1988 to 1990 in Xiamen City, Fujian Province. It consists of interviews with entrepreneurs running 100 capitalist wholesale trading firms as well as a variety of other individuals in the local business world as well as data from newspapers and other published sources.Subjects--Topical Terms:
