SUMMARY:From Planned Economy to Planned Governance: Transformation of China
 ’s Socialist Planning System
DESCRIPTION:Seating is limited. Masks are required for all in-person audien
 ce members.\n\nCo-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n
 \nIn China as in many other Communist countries\, the evolution of sociali
 st planning has been central to the transition from a planned economy to a
  market-oriented one. Conventional wisdom argues that the market will “g
 row out of the plan” in tandem with the state’s gradual abandonment of
  the core features of the Soviet-style socialist planning system\, such as
  direct state allocation of materials. But have the scope and reach of the
  socialist planning system been reduced after the market grows out of the 
 plan? This study argues that after three decades of marketization and dece
 ntralization reforms\, the socialist planning system has not shrunk. On th
 e contrary\, it has been “reinvented\,” and its role in governing Chin
 a has expanded. The transformation of the socialist planning system can be
  observed from the rise of a governance-by-targets regime during the past 
 four decades—a phenomenon that performance targets\, many of which are d
 erived from the party-state’s development plans\, are increasingly and u
 biquitously used in managing social\, economic and political affairs. Put 
 in this light\, China is moving from a planned economy to “planned gover
 nance”\, and during this process\, the reinvention of the socialist plan
  is happening alongside the growth of the socialist market\, rather than o
 ne superseding the other.\n\n&nbsp\;
