Researching state rescaling in China: methodological reflectionsTools Lim, Kean Fan (2017) Researching state rescaling in China: methodological reflections. Area Development and Policy . ISSN 2379-2957 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThis paper foregrounds and evaluates the research design associated with the study of Chinese state rescaling. It first synthesizes the existing gaps in the original, western-based state rescaling framework. The paper then explores how different methodological channels are integrated to support a revised analytical framework. Specifically, it presents the value of multi-sited comparisons through (a) the ‘extended case method’ and (b) the role of the ‘concurrent nested approach’ to data collection. In so doing, the paper offers a systematic assessment of the methodological contributions and constraints in ascertaining and explaining how regulatory reconfigurations unfold across space and time in China.
