Summary
Annotation "China's Provinces in Reform is concerned with the impact of economic reform on social and political change within the provinces at the immediate sub-central level of the People's Republic of China. One of the main results of this book is to question over-generalisations about China's development in the reform era. However, the provincial analysis of social and political change in China also has the potential to reveal even more in a comparative perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
