This book challenges that assumption and the general relationship between economic liberalization and democratization. Moreover, it analyzes the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) liberalization on Chinese labor politics. Market reforms and increased integration with the global economy have brought about unprecedented economic growth and social change in China during the last quarter of a century. Contagious Capitalism contends that FDI liberalization played several roles in the process of China's reforms. First, it placed competitive pressure on the state sector to produce more efficiently, thus necessitating new labor practices. Second, it allowed difficult and politically sensitive labor reforms to be extended to other parts of the economy. Third, it caused a reformulation of one of the key ideological debates of reforming socialism: the relative importance of public industry. China's growing integration with the global economy through FDI led to a new focus of debate--away from the public vs. private industry dichotomy and toward a nationalist concern for the fate of Chinese industry. In comparing China with other Eastern European and Asian economies, two important considerations come into play, the book argues: China's pattern of ownership diversification and China's mode of integration into the global economy. This book relates these two factors to the success of economic change without political liberalization and addresses the way FDI liberalization has affected relations between workers and the ruling Communist Party. Its conclusion: reform and openness in this context resulted in a strengthened Chinese state, a weakened civil society (especially labor), and a delay in political liberalization. 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$xGovernment policy$zChina 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aLabor$zChina 606 $aCapitalism$zChina 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects$zChina 607 $aChina$xCommercial policy 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y1976-2002 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xGovernment policy 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aLabor 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 676 $a330.951 700 $aGallagher$b Mary Elizabeth$f1969-$0499316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789418203321 996 $aContagious capitalism$9737067 997 $aUNINA
