Contemporary Developments and Issues in China's Economic Transition

by C. Harvie (Editor)

Overview

As a prospective economic giant in the next century, developments in the Chinese economy are of significance to the global economy. This book consists of contributions concerned with analysing contemporary developments and issues facing the country after two decades of economic reform, and key policies which will exert a profound influence upon the country's prospective growth and development momentum into the next millennium. This well-researched book, although comprehensive in its coverage, is succinct and very readable, and will be of interest to scholars and students of developing and transitional economies, business practitioners and policy-makers.
