The China Model and Global Political Economy: Comparison, Impact, and Interaction

摘要

As the world second largest economy, some analysts are eager to find a pattern behind China's incredible economic growth, while others are concerned about its recent economic slowdown. Whether the outcome is China's economic miracle or its economic stagnation, both are consequences of the "China model." To what extent is the Chinese model of development akin to others? Is the China model sustainable? Can this model be duplicated in other developing countries? And what are the implications of China's rise on the US-dominated global system? These are the major questions that Ming Wan has addressed in this book. Wan raises these questions during a time when many other developing countries are looking to China as a model of how to achieve an economic miracle, and several developed countries are concerned that the China model may reduce leverage to promote democratization in the developing world.
