From the perspective of critical cultural sociology, this book
delves into the intertwining relations of cultural transformation
and social evolution, illuminating contemporary Chinese culture's
landscape and underlying logic since the 1980s. With a special
focus on the tensions among politics, economy and culture itself,
the book examines the transitions of Chinese culture from tradition
to the modern age. It expounds the cultural differentiation and its
effect in contemporary China. Within this framework, the author
addresses some key issues and phenomena that figure in the cultural
scene of modern China, ranging from the crisis of Chinese cultural
identity in the context of globalization, the media culture and its
impacts on everyday life, to the visual culture and social
transformation. Offering a panoramic view of Chinese contemporary
culture, literature, arts, and society, this title will serve as an
essential read for scholars of China Studies, Cultural Studies, and
Visual Culture as well as anyone interested in what's going on in
Chinese contemporary culture.
The book provides a meticulous analysis of economic development and
concomitant problems in China since the late 1970s and advances
suggestions on further economic modernisation and transition from
both theoretical and practical angles. Based on theories from
development economics and solid empirical studies, the authors, two
renowned Chinese economists, provide a perceptive analysis of the
Chinese development model in the post-Mao era. They shed light on
questions that have perplexed many: How can China sustain the rapid
growth of the past 40 years? Is there a unique "China path" to
economic progress? They argue compellingly that China's development
model has to switch from a manufacturing-driven one to a brand-new
approach, centring on scientific and technical innovation and the
integration of its existing economic structure into an increasingly
complex global economy. Such transformation will help overcome the
"middle-income trap" while addressing other institutional and
economic challenges. The book will appeal to students, scholars and
policymakers interested in the Chinese and global economies, as
well as transnational studies in the post-COVID-19 world. General
readers willing to obtain a grasp of Chinese economic development
from the insider's perspective will also find it useful.
Written by a highly experienced professor of macroeconomics, this
monograph is the first English-language book to provide
quantitative answers to Chinese economic development since the
1950s. Combines a range of mathematical, algorithmical, and
computational techniques that are relevant for the analysis of
Chinese economic data. Different from other studies exploring the
nature of the Chinese economy, the author attempts to address the
question: How did the Chinese economy become what it is? Sheds
light on the constraints or driving forces of Chinese economic
growth and fluctuations.
