Çin 1978 yılından bu yana sahne olduğu ekonomik reform ve
dışa açıklık politikası sonucunda kent toplumu olma yolunda ilerlemektedir.
Değişen iktisadi yapı üretim ilişkilerinde ve bunun doğal sonucu olarak çalışma
ilişkilerinde dramatik değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Kent mekânı bu değişikliklerin
doğrudan görüldüğü bir alan olarak dikkatleri çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada ilk
olarak kapitalist reformların yol açtığı gelir dağılımı eşitsizlikleri üzerinde
durulacaktır. Bunun ardından eskisine kıyasla çok daha dinamik ve bir o kadar
da eşitsiz iktisadi-sosyal görünüm kazanan Çin kentlerinde ortaya çıkan yeni
kent yoksulluğu olgusu ele alınacaktır.

Market Reform and the New Urban Poverty: The Political Economy of Restructuring the Chinese City

Öz

As a result of economic reform and openness policy
China is moving towards becoming the urban society since 1978. Changing
economic structure has led to dramatic changes in the relations of production
and naturally in labour relations. Urban space has drawn attention as an area
which has seen these changes directly. This study will initially focus on
income inequality caused by capitalist reforms. After that the new urban
poverty that emerged in Chinese cities, which have much more dynamic and
unequal economic and social appearance compared to the past, will be addressed.
