Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: January 1995 Decentralization in China has been crucial in stimulating regional economic growth and reform, but local governments have attained de facto control over many policy instruments, seriously weakening the central government's ability to achieve and sustain macroeconomic stability. And in areas where the division of regulatory power is vaguely defined, local governments' protectionist behavior has led to a malfunction in resource allocation. Over the past 15 years, China has gradually moved from a highly centralized to a decentralized system in almost all aspects of economic management. Decentralization has changed the role of each level of government in economic management, and has greatly complicated the relations between levels of government. Ma analyzes three aspects of intergovernmental relations and their impact on macroeconomic management and market development, and suggests the implications for future reform. He addresses three main questions: * How do fiscal relations between the central and local governments affect the central government's ability to use fiscal policy to achieve stabilization and equalization? Localities have controlled effective tax rates and tax bases in two ways: they controlled tax collection by offering tax concessions, and they found ways to shift budgetary funds to extrabudgetary funds, thus avoiding tax-sharing with the central government. As a result, the center has had to resort to ad hoc instruments to influence revenue remittances from local areas, which caused perverse reactions. * How do monetary relations between the two levels of government affect the central bank's ability to control the money supply? In the past 14 years, the economy has overheated several times because of an excessive money supply. Ma argues that blame for this should be assigned not to the central bank, but to the institutional structure of monetary relations between the central and local governments. The main source of trouble is the central government's inability to commit to a preannounced credit policy. * How does the division of regulatory power between the central and local governments affect the functioning of the market system? As the central government relaxed its control over the economy, local governments used the powers transferred to them to restrict market competition. What is needed is a legal framework (including a fair trade commission) that restricts local governments' ability to abuse power. This paper -- a product of the Public Economics Division, Policy Research Department -- is part of a larger effort in the department to develop policies to reform fiscal systems in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together conceptual and empirical analyses of the causes and consequences of changing business–government relations in China since the 1990s, against the backdrop of the country’s increased integration with the global political economy. More specifically, it provides an interdisciplinary account of how the dominant patterns of interactions between state actors, firms and business organizations have changed across regions and industries, and how the changing varieties of these patterns have interacted with the evolution of key market institutions in China. The contributors to this edited volume posit that business–government relations comprise a key linchpin that defines the Chinese political economy and calibrates the character of its constitutive institutional arrangements.
Book Synopsis States, Intergovernmental Relations, and Market Development by : Jinhua Cheng
Download or read book States, Intergovernmental Relations, and Market Development written by Jinhua Cheng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a theoretical and empirical analysis of institutional foundation of long-term economic growth from the perspective of state-market and central-local relations. The book argues that, in order to safeguard sustainable market development, it is necessary to centralize certain functions of the state to overcome local predatory governmental rulings, and to decentralize others to increase local governmental market incentives, simultaneously. This institutional approach is conceptualized as “Dual Intergovernmental Transformation for Market Development” (DITMD). This book develops the DITMD model through an in-depth empirical comparison on contemporary China and the 19th-century United States.
Book Synopsis Assessing the Balance of Power in Central-Local Relations in China by : John Donaldson
Download or read book Assessing the Balance of Power in Central-Local Relations in China written by John Donaldson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we understand the evolution of central-local relations in China during the reform period? This book addresses this question by focusing on eight separate issues in which the central-local relationship has been especially salient – government finance, investment control, regional development, administrative zoning, implementation, culture, social welfare and international relations. Each chapter introduces a sector and the way the center and various local governments have shared or divided power over the different periods of China’s reform era. The balance of power is gauged dynamically over time to measure the extent to which one level of government dominates, influences or shares power in making decisions in each of these particular domains, as well as what is likely to occur in the foreseeable future. The authors assess the winners and losers of these changes among key actors in China’s society. The result provides a dynamic view of China’s changing power relations.

Is annual growth rate of more than 9 percent during this period makes China today the world's fourth-largest economy. And this sustained growth has reduced the poverty rate from 60 percent of the population to less than 10 percent.

And it offers concrete recommendations for immediate policy changes and for China's future reform agenda.

In the West China’s rise is often portrayed as a threat and China seen in negative terms. This book explores the dynamics of this crucial relationship.

It goes on to discuss US and Chinese rhetoric and behaviour in three key areas – climate change, finance, and international security. The book contends that, contrary to much US rhetoric, China’s actions in these areas is often much more flexible and accommodating than the US position, and that the Chinese are much more knowledgeable about, and understanding and appreciative of, the United States than vice versa.
Book Synopsis New Mentalities of Government in China by : David Bray
Download or read book New Mentalities of Government in China written by David Bray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China continues to transform apace, flowing from the forces of deregulation, privatization and globalization unleashed by economic reforms which began in late 1978. The dramatic scope of economic change in China is often counterposed to the apparent lack of political change as demonstrated by continued Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule. However, the ongoing dominance of the CCP belies the fact that much has also changed in relation to practices of government, including how authorities and citizens interact in the management of daily life. New Mentalities of Government in China examines how the privatization and professionalization of ‘public’ service provision is transforming the nature of government and everyday life in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The book addresses key theoretical questions on the nature of government in China and documents the emergence of a range of ‘new mentalities of government’ in China. Its chapters focus on areas such as clinical trials, conceptualizing government, consumer activity, elite philanthropy, lifestyle and beauty advice, public health, social work, volunteering; and urban and rural planning. Offering a topical examination of shifting modes of governance in contemporary China, this book will appeal to scholars in the fields of anthropology, history, politics and sociology.

Book Synopsis The Business of Corporate Government Affairs in China by : Yi-Ru Regina Chen
Download or read book The Business of Corporate Government Affairs in China written by Yi-Ru Regina Chen and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has attracted the attention of numerous companies as the second largest market in the world. With an authoritarian political system and socialist market economy, the Chinese government practices strong intervention on business operations. At the same time, China's ongoing structural transformation that fosters its economic reforms places increasing influence of business, both domestic and foreign, on national policy. These both force firms to pay greater attention to their relationships with the Chinese government - at all levels. In this timely work, Yi-Ru Regina Chen examines how 25 multinational corporations (MNCs) in China implement government affairs activities as a managerial strategy for achieving competitive advantage from an integrated perspective of public relations and political economy. The work documents the MNCs' strategies, tools, and organizing for government affairs activities, roles of government affairs managers, and factors shaping their management. These findings have significant implications for the conceptualization of corporate lobbying/public affairs and government relations in China's political economy. This book is addressed to students and academics in public relations, business and management, communication, public affairs, and policy, as well as CEOs, association executives, lobbyists, business managers, and government officials.
