Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text examines the political context of China's "Open Door" policy of opening up the international capitalist economy in the period 1978-1992. By highlighting the political essence of the policy process, the book concentrates on exploring the Open Door policy, the extent to which the course of the policy has been shaped by political considerations and the socio-political consequences of the policy. The analysis is illustrated by a case study of Xiamen Sez and, throughout, set in the broader context of the global spread of liberalism and the collapse of Communism.
