The Communist Party and Financial Institutions: Institutional Design of China’s Post-Reform Rural Credit Cooperatives

Although the rural credit cooperatives are the only formal credit providers to millions of households in rural China, empirical evidence suggests that they do not serve the interests of member households very effectively. This study examines how far the recent institutional reforms have addressed the problems of insider control and collective action in corporate governance and reduced local political influence on their operations.

It contributes to the currently scant literature on the reasons for the persistence in China of local political interference in loan allocations. This study’s findings suggest the need for a re-evaluation of the conventional wisdom that the role of local states in China’s development is a positive one.

Le parti communiste et les institutions financières: Plan institutionnel des réformes ultérieures de la Chine des coopératives de crédit agricole

Bien que les coopératives de crédit agricole soient les seules à fournir du crédit pour des millions de foyers en Chine rurale, des constatations marquantes suggèrent qu’elles désservent mal les intérêts des foyers. Cette étude explore jusqu’à quel point les nouvelles réformes institutionnelles traitent les problèmes de réglementation interne et d’action collective au sein de la gestion corporative, ainsi que de la baisse de l’influence de la politique locale sur leurs aspirations. Cette étude tient à étoffer la piètre littérature contemporaine dû à une ingérence permanente de la politique locale chinoise dans l’adjudication des emprunts. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent le besoin de revisiter la croyance traditionelle du rôle des états locaux comme étant positif pour le développement de la Chine.
