© 2004 Taylor & Francis. China’s program of economic reform is a set of national modernization and development strategies in the broadest sense. The nature of the reform program encompasses both domestic perspectives and internationalized development strategies, especially in the arena of macroeconomic policy. This chapter examines the geographical characteristics of major reforms to show how, as development strategies, the reforms have borne gendered values and produced gendered results. While this survey focuses on the reform period, many gendered characteristics of reform policies and impacts cannot be simply attributed to the Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin eras. The gendered characteristics of the contemporary reform program carry amalgamated histories of gendered social structures and gender-specific policy perspectives from earlier periods. It is the complex interaction of combined contemporary forces and historic social and economic conditions that creates gendered geographies in China under reform.
