Regional inequality is an issue of concern for many countries, creating problems of national disunity and social instability. In China, the issue has been of particular importance, as a result of its role in debates concerning the nature of socialism, central control and local autonomy. This book systematically examines uneven regional development in China, and places it in a global and theoretical context. The book illuminates our understanding of the issue in three key areas: * An exhaustive case study of Jiangsu province in East China provides a wealth of new empirical source material. * By explaining uneven development in terms of the interaction of three central agents (the foreign investor, the state and the region), the book opens up a new theoretical approach to the subject. * The author's conclusions have important implications for policy, and will be of vital interest for governments and businesses involved in China. Regional Development in China is a vital source of reference for those with an interest in transition economies, and makes a substantial contribution to the study of globalization and liberalization in the developing world.
