Kasza. 330 $aThis book breaks new ground by systematically examining China's capitalist transformation through several comparative lenses. The great majority of research on China to date has consisted of single-country studies. This is the result of the methodological demands of studying China and a sense of the country's distinctiveness due to its grand size and long history. The moniker Middle Kingdom, a direct translation of the Chinese-language word for China, is one of the most prominent symbols of the country's supposed uniqueness. Composed of contributions from leading specialists on China's political economy, this volume demonstrates the benefits of systematically comparing China with other countries, including France, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, India, Brazil, and South Africa. Doing so puts the People's Republic in a light not available through other approaches, and it provides a chance to consider political theories by including an important case too often left out of studies. 410 0$aContemporary issues in Asia and the Pacific. 606 $aCapitalism$zChina 606 $aComparative economics 606 $aComparative government 607 $aChina$xEconomic policy 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aComparative economics. 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a330.951 701 $aKennedy$b Scott$f1967-$01032829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465517703321 996 $aBeyond the Middle Kingdom$92460383 997 $aUNINA
