China today produces nearly half of the world's steel and is the
world's largest importer of iron ore. Steel has been a central part
of China's rapid growth story, but it is also a source of many
problems that range from the Chinese industry s environmental
impact to the problems associated with the continued dominance the
sector's state owned enterprises. This book of chapters edited by
Ligang Song and Haimin Liu is a major and comprehensive
contribution to this important topic.' - Dwight Perkins, Harvard
University, Department of Economics, US'Chinese economic reform and
opening to the international economy since the late 1970s have
changed the country and the world. The developments in the steel
industry through the reform period are central to those changes,
illuminative of them, and of immense significance in themselves.
This book throws new light on these historic changes for Chinese
and foreign readers alike.' - From the foreword by Ross Garnaut,
University of Melbourne, Australia This unique and informative book
provides a central reference work on the Chinese steel industry and
discusses China s increasing demand on metals from both
macroeconomic and regional perspectives. It includes macroeconomic
studies of developments in Chinese resource demand with particular
reference to the ferrous metals and microeconomic studies that
utilize comprehensive firm-level data to evince new knowledge of
both firm and industry performance with respect to their
productivity, the technical efficiency, and industrial linkages.
The book also discusses trade in steel products and the impact of
the restructuring of the industry on the environment. This detailed
and analytical study will appeal to academics, students and
researchers in Chinese studies, government agencies and private
sectors - such as the mining industry, as well as financial
agencies analyzing the Chinese demand on global resources.

This volume provides a detailed up-to-date analysis of the strategic issues and policy options of China's accession to the WTO. Quantitative analysis demonstrates how tariff reduction resulting from China's accession to the WTO will benefit the Chinese economy as well as the rest of the world. The book argues that there is no single trade policy initiative likely to result in larger gains in international trade in the foreseeable future than China's accession to the WTO. eBook available with sample pages: 020339822X
The economic growth of China is clearly one of the defining
trends of our time. The world's most populous nation is undergoing
a vast transformation that will redefine the global economy.
Chinese industrial production has increased tremendously in recent
years, and its consumption of resources has necessarily gone way up
as well. These developments will have important impacts on
economics, business, politics, and environmental conditions
throughout the world. In C "hina's Dilemma: Economic Growth, the
Environment, and Climate Change, " an international group of
authorities examines the present status and likely future of
China's economic rise and its impact on the environment, with
particular focus on the all-important topic of global climate
change. The first section addresses directly China's recent growth.
Specific topics addressed here include the effects on China of the
global credit crunch, determinants of growth, and their prospects
for the future. Part II addresses China's environmental and climate
concerns, including the impact on human health, their role in
domestic politics, the health effects of environmental damage, and
China's post- Kyoto climate strategy. Part III looks at the impact,
and likely trajectory, of energy consumption in China. Contents
