Editorial Reviews

'...this volume provides a clear and reasonable picture of China's economic development achieved under the guidance and encouragement of the government. It will appeal to people who are interested in the understanding of China's economic development in the last two decades of the 20th century.' Yu Tzong-Shian, Director, Chinese Institute of Economics and Business, Taipei '...a collection of papers by an interesting mix of authors...The chapters draw on experiences in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia, the United States and Asia to provide illustrations of the likely impact of economic globalization on specific aspects of the Chinese economy. Collectively they give the reader an excellent sense of China's globalizing progress and prospects in an international context...it paints a picture of the diverse set of opportunities and dilemmas that WTO accession has created for China, and reminds us that progress and prospects differ according to whom you ask, and about what.' The China Journal '...this text shows the editors' enthusiasm of making the most of the recent development of China's WTO accession for economists and professional readership. Postgraduate students with a background in the Chinese economy may find some papers in the book helpful.' Progress in Development Studies 'The book's merit lies in its authors' deep understanding of the issues that are most relevant for the country. The broad scope of the book and its different authors makes it useful in giving advance notice of what different political questions and sectors are affected in China through the WTO accession...This book is suited for scientists and graduate students interested in the future development of the Chinese economy.'
