Sommario/riassunto

Market reform, financial decentralization, and economic globalization have accentuated China's social and regional inequalities. But some argue that state policies have not sufficiently addressed inequitable practices. This work examines the argument through analysis of selected aspects of educational stratification in China during the reform era.
