Download or read book China written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since opening to the outside world and embarking on an economic reform programme in 1978, China has had one of the highest rates of sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in the world. However, during the 1990s several challenges emerged in relation to levels of inequality and environmental degradation. This evaluative report on the relative effectiveness of World Bank assistance to China focuses on the period 1993-2002, although it includes some references to developments in earlier and more recent years also. Findings include that the World Bank has made important contributions to economic reform, poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and environmental protection, but has fallen short of its objectives in promoting fiscal and financial reforms to reduce inequality and risk.

Book Synopsis Comparative Corporate Governance : A Chinese Perspective by : Yuwa Wei
Download or read book Comparative Corporate Governance : A Chinese Perspective written by Yuwa Wei and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis is notable for its insistence that, for a corporate governance system to work, the principles and practicalities of that system must be derived from customary cultural norms. Experience shows that imported models, although they may be enshrined in law, lead to economic stagnation unless actual practice is monitored and reformed and the laws change to reflect these necessary adjustments. Thus the model proposed here begins with the Company Law of 1994, and proceeds to show how practical experience is already providing valuable data for the task of improving the law.
Book Synopsis China's Deep Reform by : Lowell Dittmer
Download or read book China's Deep Reform written by Lowell Dittmer and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's rapid and complex political and socioeconomic changes provide fertile ground for pioneering analysis, but they also present daunting theoretical and practical challenges. This reader takes up the challenge, offering the most comprehensive assessment of Chinese domestic politics available by bringing together the best recent scholarship in the field. The anthology focuses on the origin, content, and significance of the post-1989 phase of China's reform and opening to the world, commonly known in the PRC as "deep reform." This period has been unfolding in interaction with globalization, marketization, privatization, political institutionalization, as well as with financial and legal changes. Deep reform includes new policy initiatives that have penetrated political, legal, economic, and social sectors untouched by previous initiatives as reformers have been forced to deal with the consequences—intended and unintended—of earlier reforms. These carefully selected essays by leading scholars have been revised and updated for this text. In addition, a substantive introduction and conclusion place the articles in their broader context for readers new to the subject. With the successful transition of the leadership of the party, state, and military since 2002, the time is ripe for a comprehensive evaluation of China's deep reform as it enters a new stage. This timely reader will offer students, scholars, and policymakers invaluable insights into the dynamics of change in one of the world's emerging political and economic dynamos.

Book Synopsis China's Great Economic Transformation by : Loren Brandt
Download or read book China's Great Economic Transformation written by Loren Brandt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-14 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark study provides an integrated analysis of China's unexpected economic boom of the past three decades. The authors combine deep China expertise with broad disciplinary knowledge to explain China's remarkable combination of high-speed growth and deeply flawed institutions. Their work exposes the mechanisms underpinning the origin and expansion of China's great boom. Penetrating studies track the rise of Chinese capabilities in manufacturing and in research and development. The editors probe both achievements and weaknesses across many sectors, including China's fiscal, legal, and financial institutions. The book shows how an intricate minuet combining China's political system with sectorial development, globalization, resource transfers across geographic and economic space, and partial system reform delivered an astonishing and unprecedented growth spurt.

Book Synopsis Public Opinion and Political Change in China by : Wenfang Tang
Download or read book Public Opinion and Political Change in China written by Wenfang Tang and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes through case studies how various factors, such as the single-party political system, traditional culture, market reform, and industrialization, shape public opinion and mass political behavior in urban China. Case studies focus on the process of conducting public opinion polls in China’s political environment, regime legitimacy and reform support, media control and censorship, interpersonal trust and democratization, mass political participation, labor relations and trade unions, and the role of intellectuals in political change. The book draws most of its empirical evidence from twelve Chinese public opinion surveys conducted between the late 1980s and the late 1990s. The same questions repeated in many of these surveys provide a rare opportunity to examine the changing pattern of the Chinese public mind during this period. The book ends with the provocative conclusion that China’s authoritarian political system proved to be less effective than traditional culture, marketization, and industrialization in shaping public opinion and mass political behavior. Liberal ideas and bottom-up political participation can emerge even in the absence of direct elections.
Book Synopsis Integrating China into the Global Economy by : Nicholas R. Lardy
Download or read book Integrating China into the Global Economy written by Nicholas R. Lardy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been hailed as the biggest coming-out party in the history of capitalism. Its membership eventually will contribute to higher standards of living for its citizens and increased growth for its economy. But why would the Chinese communist regime voluntarily agree to comply with the many complex rules of the global trading system since it has already become the world's seventh largest trading country while avoiding these constraints by remaining outside the system? The answer to this question forms the basis for this new book. Nicholas Lardy explores the many pressures on the Chinese government, both external and internal, to comply with the standards of the rule-based international trading system. Lardy points out that, prior to entry into the WTO, China enjoyed high growth rates and more foreign direct investment than any other emerging economy. He draws on a wealth of scholarship and experience to explain how China's leadership expects to leverage the increased foreign competition inherent in its WTO commitments to accelerate its domestic economic reform program, leading to the shrinkage and transformation of inefficient, money-losing companies and hastening the development of a commercial credit culture in its banks. Lardy answers a number of other questions about China's new WTO membership, including its effects on bilateral trade with the United States; the possibility that China will use its power to reshape the WTO in the future; the degree to which the terms of China's entry were more or less demanding than those for other new members; the ability of China's economy to successfully open to new imports; and the prospects for new growth in various sectors of China's economy made possible by WTO accession. This book will become an important tool for those who wish to understand China's new role in the global trading system, to take advantage of the new opportunities for investment in China
Book Synopsis The Changing Chinese Legal System, 1978-Present by : Bin Liang
Download or read book The Changing Chinese Legal System, 1978-Present written by Bin Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book examines the changing Chinese legal system since 1978. In addition to historical analyses of changes at the economic, political-legal, and social levels, Liang gives special attention to crime and punishment functions of the legal system, and the current judicial system based on field research, i.e., court observations in both Beijing and Chengdu. The court system has been in a process of systemization, both internally and externally, seeking more power and relative independence. However, traditional influences, such as preference of mediation (over litigation) and substantive justice (over procedural justice), and lack of respect (from the masses) and guaranteed power (from the political structure), still have major impacts on the building and operation of the judicial system. Liang also shrewdly places the Chinese legal and political reform within the global system. This book, which reshapes our understanding of the economic, political, and essentially legal changes in China within the global context, will be crucial reading for scholars of Asia, law, criminal justice, and sociology.

Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002.Banking reform lies at the heart of economic reform in China and is central to sustaining the countries high economic growth. This timely book covers an important economic policy issue in China, namely the existing and potential roles of the financial sector in the development of the Chinese economy.

Tong presents a wealth of valuable data accompanied by original insights and interpretations. The author also examines the original estimates of the cost of the social welfare burden given that social services such as old age pension, housing, healthcare and education are provided by the SOEs rather than by the private or public sector directly.

Download or read book China written by World Bank and published by Poverty Reduction and Economic. This book was released on 1999 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report builds on the framework laid out in the 1997 Country Economic Memorandum, "China 2020: Development Challenges in the New Century, " and its companion reports, which remain largely valid. This report focuses on the near term. The difficulty of dealing with China's main macroeconomic challenge, weakened domestic demand, has been compounded by the Asia crisis and the global economic slowdown. These challenges come at a critical juncture in China's structural reform program. Unemployment and demand for social protection has increased, and corporate debt pressures are building, in line with the transition to a more market-based economy. However, the country's large and partly insulated domestic economy has inoculated it to some degree against contagion from its less fortunate neighbors. Having weathered the storm so far, China can learn lessons from other countries that have experienced difficulties and, hence, mitigate against the risk of a crisis. The major policy issue for China is how to respond to near-term growth pressures in ways that reinforce structural reform and economic development. Policymakers have to focus on pro-growth reforms that support the development of the labor-absorbing service sector. Also, enterprise restructuring and corporate governance strengthening must remain high priorities. Finally, China needs to support structural measures that increase household demand by raising rural incomes and supporting safety net programs.
