In my previous article on JRS, I introduced neo-exogenous development to explain China’s state-led rural networked development model under Rural Revitalization/RRS.
In my new paper, I examine this model’s governance implications, arguing that RRS has fostered a form of “rural party-statecraft”.

Many scholars use neo-endogenous development to explain multi-actor participation in China’s Rural Revitalization Strategy. However, in my paper coauthored with Prof Nick Gallent, we argue it is essentially state-led networked development
