Grabbing Land for Equitable Development? Reengineering Land Dispossession through Securitising Land Development Rights in Chongqing

This article examines the securitisation of land development rights under the dipiao scheme in Chongqing, China. It argues that this instrument is based on the dispossession and exploitation of rural households but these unequal relations have been concealed and naturalised through the complex geographies and temporalities of dispossessory arrangements, financing mechanisms and discursive tactics. By overcoming political barriers to land commodification and dispossession in this way, the Chongqing government has expanded the frontier of commodifiable land and sustained a land"based, urban"centric and debt"financed accumulation. Instead of narrowing the urban"“rural divide, this instrument reproduces and solidifies it. On this basis, the article argues that conceptual and political innovations for inclusive and equitable development needs to shift the attention from land to people.

本文剖析了重庆地票实验中的土地发展权的证券化。文章指出, 地票交易是对农村家庭的剥削与剥夺, 然而交易中的不平等关系却通过复杂的剥夺方式、融资机制和话语策略被掩饰或者正常化。通过这些制度安排, 重庆政府克服了土地商品化和土地剥夺过程中的政治阻碍, 扩大了可商品化的土地的边界, 从而巩固了以土地商品化为基础, 以城市为中心, 以举债为手段的资本积累模式。因此, 地票这一工具强化而非缩小城乡差距。基于此, 文章认为, 着眼于包容、平等发展的理念与制度创新应当把焦点从对土地的关注转移到对人的关注。
