Economic Developments in Contemporary China: A Guide

Chinas role in global affairs today continues to rise. This book provides an authoritative, comprehensive and detailed overview of contemporary economic developments in China. Key topics include agriculture; the market gradually replacing central planning; the global financial crisis; the reform of state-owned industrial enterprises; the non-state sectors; the open-door policy (including the WTO, exchange rate policy, and inward and outward direct foreign investment); and Chinas economic performance in general.

The book continues - and adds to - the overview of developments up to May 2006 which were covered in the authors China: A Guide to Economic and Political Developments (2006), and is the companion volume to Political Developments in Contemporary China: A Guide (2010) - both published by Routledge.
