The unit engages in assessment of the political-economic system, institutions and development models and experiences of the People’s Republic of China. Topics included the state’s role in economic reform, local governments, state-owned enterprises, private sector and international linkages. It concludes with discussion of China’s impact on the global system.
Underscoring the distinct character of China’s Socialist Market economy, from the relationship between state and business lobbies, its development model approach of State-Led development, as well as the central drivers of FDI, Export/Import Economies and Processing Zones, Global Systems of Production and Production Chains, and Financial internationalisation, this unit aims to deepen our understanding of development and political economic system in the People’s Republic
