Description

Explore the evolution of a Chinese province through this detailed study from the China Policy Series. Published by Routledge, this book examines the changing relationships between the state, society, and business within Hainan. Once considered a provincial backwater, Hainan was elevated to provincial rank in 1988, marking a major shift in its development. This text tracks how the island became a primary testing ground for economic, political, and social experiments directed by Beijing. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the "small government, big society" project and how these transitions have shaped the region. By studying the specific experiences of Hainan, this book offers valuable perspectives on highly topical issues currently facing contemporary China studies. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the practical applications of Chinese policy and the real-world results of large-scale social and economic reforms.
