'This book offers an exciting indigenous perspective on Chinese
governance model and Professor Hongjun Zhao is to be applauded for
his invaluable contribution!' - Tony Fang, Stockholm University,
Sweden 'This book traces the root of China's past failure as well
as its success since 1978 to the inertia of its government
governance, which was in turn shaped by its environment, geography
and natural endowment. The book makes an important contribution to
the Neo-institutional school by introducing geographical factors to
explain the puzzling stability of the traditional Chinese
government governance and the new challenges this type of
governance is facing in an increasing globalizing world.' -
Guanzhong James wen, Trinity College, US 'Professor Zhao's book
offers us a unique and valuable perspective on China's present and
future from a historical perspective. The book also makes use of a
large amount of valuable quantitative statistics on various aspects
of Chinese history.' - Debin Ma, London School of Economics, UK
This book takes a long-term perspective to examine the evolution of
Chinese governance and its lasting impact on Chinese economic
development. Through its broad exploration of the style, strength,
and effectiveness of Chinese governance through the years, it
touches on a universal relationship between economic development
and governance and institutions, translating the experiences of one
of the world?s oldest civilizations into widespread, current
economic relevance. Hongjun Zhao first examines the formation of
Chinese style governance, the core contents of this governance, and
its vitality compared with other governance patterns in Chinese
history. He also discusses the effectiveness of this governance
pattern in supporting the economic development before the Song
dynasty, the failure of this governance during the past 3-5
centuries and the governmental role in pushing development since
1978. Finally, he makes a prediction of the direction of Chinese
governance patterns in over the next 20-30 years. Scholars and
researchers interested in China's long term economic development
will appreciate this comprehensive examination of the subject, as
will high level undergraduate and graduate students interested in
keeping pace with China?s rapid development.
