After more than 30 years of rapid development, China has
established herself as an important engine of growth for the world
economy. This achievement, however, came with a heavy price, in the
form of serious pollution in its developed regions and social
problems in areas such as healthcare and housing. This publication
studies some of such problems and provides an updated account on a
wide range of new social policy initiatives in China.
China's New Social Policy distinguishes itself from other
literature in this field. It undertakes a general methodology that
assesses the social impact brought about by the market-oriented
changes in China's social policies, and contests the idea whether
market-oriented development can result in a more sustainable
society. All chapters in the book are crafted by prominent
scholars, which include Professor Zheng Yongnian, Director of the
East Asian Institute, and Professor Ake Blomqvist, Economics
Department, National University of Singapore.
