China's Political Economy In Modern Times (Routledge Studies In The Modern History Of Asia)

This book examines Chinese political economy spanning from 1800 to to the dawn of the 21st century, shedding new light on our understanding of the reasons and impact of socio-political and socio-economic changes in China. Crossing over the three disciplines of history, politics and economics, the analyses China's ideology, politics, and the economy using state-building as the key theme and puts the emphasis on China's internal factors and mechanisms instead of the influence from Western imperialism or Japanese colonialism. It pays close attention to the movers and shakers inside Chinese society and carefully reveals historical contingencies which lend the reader a unique and radically different re-interpretation of China's recent history.
