In the past decade, China was able to carry out economic reform
without political reform, while the Soviet Union attempted the
opposite strategy. How did China succeed at economic market reform
without changing communist rule? Susan Shirk shows that Chinese
communist political institutions are more flexible and less
centralized than their Soviet counterparts were.
Shirk pioneers a rational choice institutional approach to analyze
policy-making in a non-democratic authoritarian country and to
explain the history of Chinese market reforms from 1979 to the
present. Drawing on extensive interviews with high-level Chinese
officials, she pieces together detailed histories of economic
reform policy decisions and shows how the political logic of
Chinese communist institutions shaped those decisions.
Combining theoretical ambition with the flavor of on-the-ground
policy-making in Beijing, this book is a major contribution to the
study of reform in China and other communist countries.
