Abstract (from the publisher's website):
Wh
y would an authoritarian regime expand social welfare provision in the abse
nce of democratization? Yet China, the world's largest and most powerful au
thoritarian state, has expanded its social health insurance system at an un
precedented rate, increasing enrollment from 20 percent of its population i
n 2000 to 95 percent in 2012. Significantly, people who were uninsured, suc
h as peasants and the urban poor, are now covered, but their insurance is l
ess comprehensive than that of China's elite. With the wellbeing of 1.4 bil
lion people and the stability of the regime at stake, social health insuran
ce is now a major political issue for Chinese leadership and ordinary citiz
ens.
In Social Protect
ion under Authoritarianism, Xian Huang analyzes the transformation
of China's social health insurance in the first decade of the 2000s, addre
ssing its expansion and how it is distributed. Drawing from government docu
ments, filed interviews, survey data, and government statistics, she reveal
s that Chinese leaders have a strategy of "stratified expansion," perpetuat
ing a particularly privileged program for the elites while developing an es
sentially modest health provision for the masses. She contends that this st
rategy effectively balances between elites and masses to maximize the regim
e's prospects of stability.
In China's multilevel governance, both centra
lized and decentralized structures are involved in the distribution of soci
al health insurance. When local leaders implement the stratified expansion
of social health insurance, they respond to varied local conditions. As a r
esult, China's health insurance policies differ dramatically across subnati
onal regions as well as socioeconomic groups. Providing an in-depth look in
to China's health insurance system, this book sheds light not only on Chine
se politics, but also on how social benefits function in authoritarian regi
mes and decentralized multilevel governance settings.
