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

Explore a deep analysis of China's economic trajectory in China's Rise in the Age of Globalization: Myth or Reality? Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this book from the Palgrave Studies in Economic History series challenges common assumptions about the nation's growth. Author Yue deconstructs four major myths. The text examines whether globalization directly caused China's rise, if China follows the East Asian developmental state model, if market reforms were truly incremental, and if resilient authoritarianism has successfully managed economic and political change. Instead of traditional narratives, the book presents the argument that the China model functions as crony comprador capitalism. This perspective suggests that such a system may actually hinder China's progress toward achieving true economic and political modernity. This work is an essential resource for those studying international business, finance, and global economic history.
