Klappentext Peter Nolan, leading expert on the Chinese economy, analyses the true nature of Chinese firms and their place in China's growing global economy in this book. Nolan argues that whilst Chinese films appear highly successful, in reality they are at a relatively early stage of development in contrast to Western firms, with comparatively low research and development expenditure, and high reliance on domestic markets. The book explores key sectors of the economy, and discusses the dilemmas for China in formulating the next stage of its industrial policy. Zusammenfassung China has achieved remarkable, sustained economic growth under the policies of ‘reform and opening up’ put into place since the late 1970s. China’s industrial policies have nurtured a large group of firms with high profits and a high market capitalisation. However, few people in the West can name a single Chinese firm. During the modern era of capitalist globalisation firms from the high income countries have spread their business systems across the world. This has presented a profound challenge for industrial policy in developing countries, including even China, the world’s second largest economy. China is unique among large latecomer developing countries in having reached the position of being a huge, fast-growing economy, with a tremendous impact on the rest of the world, but lacking a substantial group of globally competitive firms. This volume explores this paradox. Fully understanding the industrial policy challenge that the era of capitalist globalisation has produced for China is essential for harmonious international relations. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface 1.
