ISBN: 0415145015 ISBN-13: 9780415145015 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $218.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: July 1997 Annotation: There are wide disparities of wealth between the different regions of China. The result has been increased tension between ethnic groups and serious divisions between China's provinces. This book offers a balanced assessment of the dynamics and consequences of the decentralization of power and resources in post-Mao China. The author argues that increasing decentralisation has unleashed much competition and emulation among local governments. He discusses also the impact on regional disparities and cleavages, and government efforts to address regional disparities. This book is an authoritative study of an issue that will remain highly visible on China's political agenda for the foreseeable future. |
