China's Political and Economic Transformation

This book provides not only theoretical explanations for but also macro- and micro-level case studies on China's political and economic transformation. Most of the case studies are based on the author's previous field inspections to small politically-sensitive areas and the micro-level surveys on a few of former state-owned firms in China. Due to their unavailability to researchers both within and outside China, these case studies can provide a superb collection of materials for researchers and students with an interest in the study of the characteristics of Chinese transformation and for ordinary readers wishing to keep a closer watch on China's political and economic transformation.
