Features: This series of monographs, like the journal China Rural Studies, will select and publish the best research from both domestic and international sources. Academic monographs are the basic building blocks of a discipline. High-level monographs should not only make new empirical contributions but also derive new analytical concepts from them. The integration and accumulation of empirical research and theoretical concepts, rather than the adoption of fashionable models, ideological doctrines, or simple accumulations of empirical studies, are the correct path to advancing a discipline. As the title suggests, this book explores the historical relationship between peasants and landlords, as well as related issues. The book consists of six chapters, including: The Origin of the Problem, The Decline in Rent Collection, The Causes of the Decline in Rent, An Analysis of Peasant Rent Resistance, Governmental Laws and Policies, and Some Concluding Remarks.
