Globalizing China Social and Governance Reforms

Unlike most books which consider Chinas transformation and globalization over the last four decades by focusing on Chinas economic growth, this book examines how the Chinese regime has handled the increasingly complex sociopolitical and socio-economic challenges generated as a result of the countrys economic growth and transformation, challenges arising both from within the country and also from the external political environment. Based on extensive original research, the book outlines how Chinas economic development has generated social and governance pressures, discusses the governments social, educational, and governance reforms, and highlights how Chinas development experiences, which differ from the Western economies with democratic political regimes, have drawn increasing attention from other countries in the developing world as an example to follow.
