This book investigates uneven regional development in China - with
particular focus on the cases of Guangdong and Zheijiang provinces
- which have been at the forefront of debate since Chinese economic
reform. Rapid economic growth since the 'opening-up' of China has
been accompanied by significant disparities in the regional
distribution of income: this book represents one of the most recent
studies to present a picture of this inequality. Built upon a
multi-scale and multi-mechanism framework, it provides systematic
examination of both the patterns and mechanisms of regional
development and inequality in provincial China, emphasizing the
effects of economic transition. Approaching from a geographical
perspective, its authors consider the interplay between the local,
the state, and the global forces in shaping the landscape of
regional inequality in China. Extensive empirical findings will
prove useful to those researching other developing countries within
the frontier of globalization and economic transition. Regional
Inequality in Transitional China will appeal to scholars and
students of geography, economics and Chinese studies more broadly.
This study systematically examines uneven regional development in China, focusing on three central agents: the foreign investor, the state and the region. Wei's findings have important implications for theories of, and policy towards, Chinese regional development. This book is a vital resource for those with an interest in transition economies. eBook available with sample pages: 0203184661

Although China is now the 'factory of the world', there is no
reason to expect that it will always be content with manufacturing
labor-intensive goods for foreign corporations. Scholars must now
ask: What is the current level of innovation in China? And how can
we face this challenge and renovate industrial production and
innovation capacities in developed countries? This edited volume
investigates the unique characteristics of Chinese innovation and
regional development, China's policy framework, and the role that
transnational corporations play in China's increasing innovation
activities. This book contributes to the heated debate regarding
pathways for technology progress and regional development in
developing countries, and identifies the ways in which local
production networks respond to different configurations of external
linkages. Linking patterns of global and local production networks
with the trajectories of technology development and regional
development allows the authors to theorize and test whether, and
how, particular configurations of production networks generate
divergent long-term local productivity growth and technological
development outcomes. Innovation and Regional Development in China
will be of interest to geographers, economists, China specialists,
development specialists, and scholars working on innovation and
regional development in developing areas and transition countries.
