This book uses historical analytical tools in order to shed light on how policymaking takes place in contemporary China: an experimental and self-fulfilling process where decisions are taken only long after being introduced into daily practice. It will be valuable to students of contemporary Chinese society and key to the understanding of 25 years of Chinese labour reform. 410 0$aChinese Worlds 606 $aLabor$zChina 606 $aLabor market$zChina 606 $aWork$zChina 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y2000- 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aWork 676 $a331/.0951 700 $aTomba$b Luigi$0451145 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453366103321 996 $a"Paradoxes of labour reform$91155344 997 $aUNINA
