The Reluctant Dragon: Crisis Cycles in Chinese Foreign Economic Policy

By Lawrence C. Reardon

Book Overview

Chinese foreign economic policy before 1978 has been considered isolationist and centered on Maoist self-reliance. In this revisionist analysis, the author argues that the dramatic economic reforms initiated by China's leaders in 1978 were in fact revisions and expansions of policies from the Maoist period.
