China's Regions, Polity, & Economy: A Study of Spatial Transformation in the Post-Reform Era

By Si-Ming Li

This book is organized around different spatial scales. It investigates how the Chinese socialist state under reform affects, influences, and controls the activity spaces of different members of society, thereby transforming the economy and society at the regional province (and its larger spatial unit), the city, the village, the factory, and the individual levels. This way of addressing China's spatial development is new to the literature. The book accomplishes this task by drawing on a variety of experts from different disciplines, including geography, sociology, economics, anthropology, political science, and urban and regional studies. Different in approaches, these experts enrich the volume by providing many in-depth analyses of thc development problems of China.
