Chinese Rural Social Surveys in A Transnational Perspective:A Study with a Focus on the Institute of Pacific Relations
The 1920s and 1930s witnessed an upsurge of social surveys on rural China.The Institute of Pacific Re-lations(IPR)funded a series of important surveys.The frequent and in-depth transnational and cross-continental intellectual exchanges and collaborations among social scientists show that the Chinese agrarian problems were not only academic hotspots within the Chinese social scientist community,but were also important issues of con-cern for the transnational academic community at large.The series of transnational academic discussions and de-bates have ultimately pointed to the particularities of Chinese industrialization.This study demonstrates the sig-nificance of the agrarian problems in the social transformation of twentieth-century China.
