Abstract

This chapter reviews the theories relevant for understanding the impact of economic reforms in China’s urban housing sector, namely, the embeddedness of states, developmental states, and the role of institutions. We subsequently analyze past work on the transition economies. These reviews form the theoretical basis for evaluating empirically the evolving urban housing governance mechanisms in China since economic reforms were begun.
