Spatial aspects of Chinese development: Issues, outcomes and policies 1949–79
研究了1949-79年中国空间不平等的变化，发现尽管经济增长较快，但空间不平等有所缩小，且与毛主义区域政策无简单对应关系，质疑了西方学者的结论。
Despite wide initial spatial inequalities and a respectable rate of national economic growth since 1949, available evidence suggests that certain key spatial inequalities in China have narrowed. Progress has been uneven, however, and there is no simple correlation to be found between the pursuit of ‘Maoist’ regional policies and the narrowing of spatial inequalities that actually occurred. This points to the need to qualify the conclusion of many western scholars that Maoist policies actually succeeded in achieving rapid, sustainable growth while narrowing most differentials, including spatial differentials.
