Opis

China is a continent-sized economy and society with substantial diversity across its different regions, meaning that its engagement with the global economy cannot just be understood at the national level. This book responds to this challenge by looking at the development of China’s regions in this era of globalization.

Recenzje

"With considerable analytical rigor and clarity in exposition,　Summers convincingly　shows that China's engagement with globalization cannot just be understood at the national level, but has fundamentally been a story about differentiated participation in the global economy across China's regions.　 This is the first book to examine China's post-1978　development　from a regional perspective. Students, researchers, and　policy makers who want to understand China's rapid economic rise in the 21st　century　will find　this book indispensable." - Alvin So, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China
