FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description China began opening to the outside world in 1978. This process was designed to remain under the states control. But the relative value of goods and services inside and outside China drove cities, enterprises, local governments, andindividuals with comparative advantage in international transactions to seek global linkages. These contacts, David Zweig asserts, led to the deregulation of Chinas mercantilist regime. Through extensive field research, Zweig surveys the extraordinary changes in four sectors of Chinas domestic political economy: the establishment of developmentzones, rural joint ventures, the struggle over foreign aid and higher education. He also addresses the crucial question of whether, on balance, internationalization weakens or strengthens state power. Author Biography David Zweig is Professor and Director of the Center on Chinas Transnational Relations at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Among his three previous books are Freeing Chinas Farmers: Rural Restructuring in the Reform Era and Agrarian Radicalism in China, 1968-1981. Review "Zweig shows how China avoided the disruptive Big Bang reforms that have proved so damaging in Russia and Eastern Europe. Zweigs study is also a warning to those in the West who naively imagine that Chinas market opening is going to lead inevitably to political reform."-Mark L. Clifford, BusinessWeek, November 11, 2002. "In ... his helpfully organized, largely plain-speaking and enlightening book, Mr. Zweig calls for far-sighted leaders and public-spirited citizens to struggle against the crony capitalism that can undermine Chinas growth"-Jonathan Mirsky, Bookshelf, May 2003. "Zweig has brought intellectual order to the chaotic process of Chinas opening to the world."-Foreign Affairs, Vol. 81 No. 6. "Internationalizing China will appeal heavily to scholars and social scientists bent on dissecting the complex phenomena that swept over the Chinese economy in the 1980s and 1990s. And for businesspeople who lived and worked their way through these transformations... Zweigs book will offer valuable insights and perspectives."-Robert A. Kapp, The China Business Review, March-April 2003 "Zweigs study provides a helpful analysis and documentation of Chinas gaige kaifeng policies of the last quarter century, offering useful insights into the pull-push dynamics of local and external forces in the fields of local economic development, education, and development aid."-Peter Harris, The China Journal, No. 50, July 2003. "Zweigs goal is to explain the how and why of Chinas internationalization over the last two decades of the twentieth century (p. 22). His efforts result in both a wealth of factual data and a model of internationalization that is suitable for use by other China scholars as well as by those studying other liberalizing societies."-Norton Wheeler, H-Net Reviews, May 2003. "Internationalizing China promises to become the leading book about the dynamics of Chinas process of opening up. David Zweig points to multiple factors of Chinas internationalization and thus offers a rich discussion of Chinas links with the world."-Dali L. Yang, University of Chicago "David Zweig offers an empirically rich, conceptually challenging treatment of a phenomenon of great practical and intellectual importance. Internationalizing China will become a standard source on the subject."-Richard P. Suttmeier, University of Oregon "It is a wonderful book. What makes Internationalizing China special is its combination of methodological approaches and insights that reach far beyond the field of China studies to include contributions to both political science and contemporary politics. David Zweigs astute book is a tour de force and an excellent book on Chinas integration with global trends."-Edward Friedman, University of Wisconsin, Madison Long Description China began opening to the outside world in 1978. This process was designed to remain under the states control. But the relative value of goods and services inside and outside China drove cities, enterprises, local governments, and individuals with comparative advantage in international transactions to seek global linkages.
