In the first thirty years after it emerged from central planning, gradual opening to the world economy formed an integral part of China’s market-orientated reforms. Understanding the effect of trade and investment integration on China’s growth is essential for assessing the sustained development of China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis subject is of growing interest because understanding the international impact of globalization on China, and the effect of China in turn on the world economy, is crucial for any analysis of the changing global system of the twenty-first century. There are already signs that the analysis of China is as important for assessing the health of the global economy, as the analysis of the United States. This timely collection examines China’s global integration, encompassing trade, investment, exchange rates, capital-account liberalization, global impact, and the linkages to growth and transition in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChina and Globalization\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive examination of these critical issues, providing valuable insights into the economic dynamics at play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605222277356,"sku":"9780415697866","price":3173.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415697866-china-and-globalization.jpg?v=1778126996"},{"product_id":"transport-economics-9780415599702","title":"Transport Economics","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn effective transport infrastructure—and its associated services—are widely regarded as key components of an efficient, equitable, and sustainable society. However, the link between transport provision (especially car ownership) and growing global levels of social exclusion, congestion, pollution, and road deaths is also increasingly recognised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe need to understand how to satisfy a seemingly insatiable appetite for mobility while minimising its harmful impacts grows ever more crucial. The subdiscipline of transport economics has made a substantial contribution towards a more sophisticated understanding of such dilemmas, and how detailed strategy and policy might be better developed and implemented. Indeed, especially in the last thirty years or so, there has been a veritable explosion in research output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new four-volume collection from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Economics series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help make sense of a rapidly expanding and ever more complex corpus of scholarly and practical literature. Volume I includes an overview of the subdiscipline, and then focuses on choice and demand; and transport networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVolume II, meanwhile, is organised around the themes of willingness to pay and the valuation of travel time, reliability and trip-time variability, crowding, life and injury, noise, and emissions. Volume III emphasises institutional reform, costs, and performance. The final volume in the collection includes the best and most influential work on infrastructure, pricing, subsidy, and funding, congestion charging, subsidies, case studies in passenger transport economics, and analyses of freight and logistics economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, \u003cem\u003eTransport Economics\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential work of reference. The collection will be particularly useful as an essential database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar—and sometimes overlooked—texts. For researchers, students, practitioners, and policy-makers, it is a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608214946028,"sku":"9780415599702","price":3290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415599702-transport-economics.jpg?v=1778190291"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-critical-concepts-in-economics.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
