Overview
How has China approached the global economy? Webber, Wang and Zhu attempt to answer this question through analysis of the concepts of globalization, transition and regionalization. China's approach has been experimental, stressing the liberalization of trade and investment flows and the development of a market economy. By these indexes globalization in China has been gradual and uneven. Integrating Western social science and Chinese research, this book assesses the nature and effect of globalization in China and its implications.
Synopsis
The editors and primary authors (a trio of professors of geography, anthropology, and management from the U. of Melbourne, Australia) present contributions examining three aspects of China's move towards a market oriented and open economy. They examine trade and investment flows across China's borders, explore the impact of foreign direct investment on the labor market, examine changing emphases of regional policy, and look at the restructuring and development of traditional and new industries.
