This book examines the Westernization Movement in modern Chinese
History, in the latter 19th century and the economic impact on
manufacturing and enterprise evolution. It examines the rise,
development, and performance of this movement on both the micro and
macro-levels. This book reveals achievements in technology transfer
without political changes, which set the limits for the
westernization movement. It evaluates the link between the
Westernization Movement and China's economic reforms after 1978,
and the factors that may have constrained the development of
economic thought in China. The book provides valuable insights into
how Chinese economic thought transitioned, and is a valuable
contribution to the debate on how the early Westernization Movement
in China caused a change in consumer thought. It will be of
interest to academics in economic history and those interested in
the development of modern China and the emergence of manufacturing
and entrepreneurship in China.
Less than three decades ago, when the Chinese bought cloth or
clothes, they would have had to use a government-issued coupon.
Today the Chinese fashion industry is one of the most dynamic in
the world - it not only supplies fashions to the increasingly
discerning domestic market, but also provides one-third of the
clothing sold in the global market. How did this phenomenal
transition come about? What can the growth of the Chinese fashion
industry tell us about the post-Mao China? What roles do the local
and the global play in the dramatic changes? This book offers a
historically informed, ethnographically grounded and interpretive
analysis of contemporary Chinese fashion and the fashion industry.
It examines the interplay of state politics, market forces, local
social and cultural factors, and the global political economy, both
in the rise of the Chinese fashion industry and in the life and
work of Chinese fashion professionals. As the first ethnographic
account of the Chinese fashion industry in the post-Mao era, The
Chinese Fashion Industry combines first-hand accounts with
sophisticated cultural analysis to offer new insights, and will be
of interest to students and scholars of fashion, anthropology and
China.
