The concept of a ~harmonisationa (TM) has become very popular in China, with the Chinese government increasingly applying the term a ~harmonious societya (TM) to internal affairs and the term a ~harmonious worlda (TM) to international relationships. Harmonisation as both an end and a means of Chinaa (TM)s development is deeply rooted in Chinaa (TM)s cultural tradition, which emphasises moderation, balance and harmony between human beings and nature, between different social groups, and between the Chinese and other nationalities. This book examines the experience of enacting the concept of harmonisation in China in recent years. It explores this in terms of developments within Chinese society, economic developments and changes in business practices, environmental challenges and coping strategies, and changing patterns of international relations. Throughout, it discusses the gaps between rhetoric and reality, policy and practice.
