During the 1920s-30s, China's vast countryside appeared to be on the verge of social collapse: crop yields were falling, peasant indebtedness soared, and increasing numbers of rural families made the wrenching decision to abandon their land and seek new, uncertain urban livelihoods. This dissertation examines how researchers, reformers, and revolutionaries both within China and around the world struggled to understand and to intervene in this agrarian crisis, arguing that interwar inquiries into the state of China's agrarian economy were part of a much broader attempt to make sense of the modern transformations underway in agricultural societies worldwide. The Chinese piece of this global story unfolded in individual rural communities. In the 1920s and 1930s, hundreds of researchers educated in China, Japan, Europe, and North America fanned out across the countryside, funded by a range of transnational sources and informed by new social scientific methods. Local leaders undertook a myriad of ambitious social and economic experiments-creating new agricultural currencies, organizing cooperative credit societies, and introducing new approaches to the valuation and exchange of farmland-all aimed at turning theories of crisis into concrete political action. Through a series of case studies, this dissertation shows how Chinese researchers and reformers looked to the world for conceptual and empirical models that could help them understand these local problems, even as they used local experiences to reflect on and interpret global theories of agrarian crisis. The 1930s movement to "save the village" (jiuji nongcun) was at once uniquely Chinese and inextricably global.
