Opis

In the process of China's market-oriented reforms, the private sector is undoubtedly the driving force behind regional development and urbanization, the latter of which is an important carrier for economic growth and social development. In general, the significant expansion of the private sector in East and Southeast China has been in line with the principles of market economics. Given this reality, Private Sector Development and Urbanization in China studies the private sector-driven process of regional urbanization in the Yangtze River Delta. By observing the spatial expansion of the region's economy from the perspective of private sector development, Wang reveals the trends in economic growth that can be promoted to encourage widespread growth, making this book a valuable reference for those implementing further development throughout inland China.

Recenzje

"The book provides an important and original perspective and contribution to understanding the future of China by addressing two important issues and their mutual relation: local development and institutional change. Based on a sound knowledge of the Chinese economy and the features and experiences of local development in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, the book provides a novel perspective on what is at the basis of the Chinese economic success and how it could evolve." - Bruno Dallago, Professor, University of Trento, Italy
