Zusatztext '... a thoughtful and thought-provoking book.' - China Quarterly Informationen zum Autor Segal, Gerald; Yang, Richard Klappentext "Chinese Economic Reform" looks beyond the recent economic success of China, by focusing specifically on the pivotal role of the People's Liberation Army in the economy as a means of consolidating its power.
