中国农村城市化研究评述

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE EXISTING RESEARCH OF CHINA'S RURAL URBANIZATION

从概念、内涵、动力机制、道路、水平和推进措施等方面对农村城市化研究的争论问题进行回顾,从农民角度针对当前农村城市化的概念之争进行评述,指出根源在于没有从农民的视角来界定农村城市化的概念。在此基础上,农村城市化是农民面对工业化机会和城市化的门槛时的理性反应和自然选择,主体在于农民,根本动力在于转变为产业工人的农民的收入的持续提升;认为农村城市化道路是内生于工业化进程的农民理性选择的结果。

The paper looks back upon the recent research of rural urbanization in China ranging from concept, connotation, dynamic mechanism, paths and level to the putting-forward policies made since 2003. Based on this, the author speculated the nature of the existing debate from a prospect of main body in rural urbanization and then points out the root of such debate resulted from the definition of rural urbanization without the prospect of peasant who is the micro-main body of it. So, the existing study misrecognized the connotation and the dynamic mechanism, which resulted in misunderstanding of the paths. This paper argue that the urbanization originate from the natural reflection and national choice of peasant as main body of urbanization facing industrialization and original power driving rural urbanization comes from the growth of income gained by the workers from peasant. As a result, the author observed that paths of rural urbanization in China derived internally from industrialization as endogenous equilibrium of peasant＇s national choice. Based on this, the author reviewed the debate on rural urbanization level and measure.
