Against the background of decentralization and under information asymmetry, this text argues that Chinese local governments connive at enterprises’ adoption of a low-cost ‘bad’ mode of production — a ‘stimulus’ for quick growth at the cost of safer working conditions — so as to obtain fiscal or political capital for further promotion. Through an examination of coalmine mortality rate, environmental pollution, food safety and house pricing, the book argues that collusion is the intrinsic drive of the China model. It consider how against a backdrop of political centralization and economic decentralization, collusion exacerbates corruption and impacts both on the country’s social development and on its foreign direct investment. Offering an analysis of future prospects for the China model, it puts forward key policy proposals to improve domestic institutional construction through reform.Economic sociologyAsia—Economic conditionsEnvironmental sociologySociology, UrbanOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020Asian Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45010Environmental Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160Urban Studies/Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250Economic sociology.Asia—Economic conditions.Environmental sociology.Sociology, Urban.Organizational Studies, Economic Sociology.Asian Economics.Environmental Sociology.Urban Studies/Sociology.338.951Nie Huihuaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065208BOOK9910252724403321Collusion, Local Governments and Development in China2543836UNINA
