Abstract
In this chapter, the authors use China's urban development politics as an example to illustrate how they might theorise urbanisation and urban development politics in a non-Western context. That is, rather than focusing on the theory of neoliberalism or neoliberalisation practices, the chapter starts from Chinese historical development and aims to reveal how a particular form of politics, in this case, the trait of state entrepreneurialism which is not necessarily linked to neoliberalisation, emerged. Different historical moments are also utilised by the state to solve its internal crises of capital accumulation. In short, the author's overall theoretical stance is still a critical political economic analysis, although such a narrative is sensitive to local histories and geographies. While paying attention to the imperative of capital accumulation inside China and later transnational circuits after China became the world-factory, the perspective adopted in this chapter is also historical and geographical.
