Opis

This book about China's integration into the world economy proposes a radically different perspective. Most economists view China's large foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows as the result of China's economic success. This study views the same phenomenon as a function of the imperfections in the Chinese economic system. It uses economic theory to explain FDI to a greater extent than previous studies on the same topic. It also presents comparative FDI data of additional countries, making it more comprehensive than previous studies which focused only on China.

Recenzje

'… an important contribution to understanding not only FDI in general, but its role in China in particular. … well researched …a pleasure to read … one of the most detailed accounts of FDI in China I have ever read. … an outstanding book, which I thoroughly recommend to academics who wish to gain a fuller insight into overall global development as well as its specific applications in China. I look forward to Huang's next book.' The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies
