The new campaign to 'Open Up the West' that commenced operations in
January 2000 is interesting not only because of its dramatic goal
of developing the western and interior regions of the People's
Republic of China but also because of the ways it has been
articulated. Although presented in some ways as a major state
project, it was introduced almost casually into the political
process, with none of the usual fanfare and perhaps even more
remarkably with no great commitment of state resources. Moreover,
though it has been in progress for only a relatively short period
it is already clear that uncertainties attend its aims, progress
and potential impact. The contested nature of the campaign to Open
Up the West becomes particularly apparent if, as is the case here,
the topic is approached from provincial and local levels as well as
from the national perspective. This book was first published in
2004.
