Joint Ventures in the People's Republic of China: The Control of Foreign Direct Investment Under Socialism

A significant academic study focusing on China's policy of opening to the outside world in the late 1970s and 1980s. Margaret Pearson's 'Joint Ventures in the People's Republic of China' examines the government's efforts to control foreign direct investment between 1979 and 1988, analyzing the abilities of socialist states to manage their participation in the global economy. Drawing on extensive interviews with both Chinese and foreign participants in joint ventures, Pearson provides a nuanced perspective on the competing views within China regarding foreign investment and its impact on socialist ideals. The book is lauded by critics such as Stanley Lubman of The China Quarterly for its 'thought-provoking perspectives' and excellent evidence of the pressure for reform. This is a crucial resource for scholars and students of Chinese economic history, political economy, and international business. This hardcover volume is offered in Good condition. Please note that this copy does not include a dust jacket.
