This book examines the role of institutions in China's recent
large-scale economic, social and political transformation. The book
argues that, although the importance of institutions in China's
rapid economic growth and social development over the past 30 years
is widely acknowledged, exactly how institutions affect changes in
particular national and historical settings is less well
understood. Unlike existing literature, it offers perspectives from
a variety of disciplines - including law, economics, politics,
international relations and communication studies - to consider
whether institutions form, evolve and change differently according
to their historical or cultural environments and if their
utilitarian functions can, and should be, observed, identified and
measured in different ways. The book discusses China's political
and legal institutions; the international institutions with which
China engages; institutions promoting science and technology; media
companies; and local institutions including the household
registration system. It also examines how institutions themselves
have been formed, changed and re-formed over recent decades, and
suggests theoretical and methodological adjustments in
institutional analysis to allow a fuller understanding of the
institutional dynamics of China's transformation.
