The Chinese Government s five-year strategy for social and economic
development to 2015 includes the aim of making the southwestern
province of Yunnan a bridgehead for opening the country to
southeast Asia and south Asia. Yunnan - A Chinese Bridgehead to
Asia traces the dynamic process which has led to this policy goal,
a process through which Yunnan is being repositioned from a
southwestern periphery of the People s Republic of China to a
bridgehead between China and its regional neighbours. It shows how
this has been expressed in ideas and policy frameworks, involvement
in regional institutions, infrastructure development, and changing
trade and investment flows, from the 1980s to the present.
Detailing the wider context of the changes in China's global
interactions, especially in Asia, the book uses Yunnan's case to
demonstrate the extent of provincial agency in global interactions
in reform-era China, and provides new insights into both China s
relationships with its Asian neighbours and the increasingly
important economic engagement between developing countries.
