Description

Explore the complex landscape of economic transition with China's Development Challenges: Economic Vulnerability and Public Sector Reform. This volume from the Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy series examines a fundamental driver of social tension in developing nations: vulnerability. Rather than focusing solely on poverty, this work analyzes the risk of falling into poverty and how structural shifts impact stability. The text provides a detailed look at how recent reforms to the public sector have reshaped the nation. It examines the effects of decentralization from central to local government, with a specific focus on fiscal decentralization. Readers will gain insight into the reduction of state-provided public services and the growing practice of local governments charging fees for services that were once free. By studying the de-collectivization of the rural commune system and market sector experimentation, this book offers a deep dive into the economic mechanics of a changing society. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in economic policy, development, and the evolving structure of the Chinese economy.
