Springer China's Rise in the Age of Globalization - Springer Book

Gain a deep understanding of modern economic history with China's Rise in the Age of Globalization: Myth or Reality? This academic work from the Palgrave Studies in Economic History series examines the complex forces shaping China's development. Rather than accepting common narratives, this book deconstructs several key myths regarding the nation's growth. The text challenges the idea that globalization was the sole driver of China's rise and questions if the country follows the traditional East Asian developmental state model. It also investigates the nature of China's market reforms and the effectiveness of its authoritarian political structure. By analyzing these factors, the author presents a perspective on the China model as one of crony comprador capitalism. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in business, finance, and international economic history. It provides a critical look at the obstacles facing China's attempts at economic and political modernity, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or professional collection.
