ed. by Flemming Christiansen; Zhang Junzou
Chinese Worlds
“What makes this book an attractive text for upper division or graduate courses on China is the diverse backgrounds that the authors bring to their studies and the numerous case-studies from various parts of China.” —Journal of Asian Business 16 (2000)“While on the largest scale the book tells a story of changing core-periphery relations and how those are manifested in specific locations, it is the rich detail of the studies that makes the book useful.” —China Review International 7 (2000)
The aim of this volume is to understand the forces and processes in local and rural society in China, seeing the local levels of government in rural areas (villages, townships, and towns) as important managers of people and resources and as deeply involved in business and enterprise.For sale only in the U.S., its dependencies, Canada, and Mexico.
