Even as the country transitioned away from socialist planning toward a market economy, the economic bureaucracy retained a striking degree of influence and control over crafting and implementing policy. Yet bureaucrats are often dismissed as faceless and inconsequential, their role neglected in favour of party leaders' top-down rule or bottom-up initiatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMarkets with Bureaucratic Characteristics\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new account of economic policymaking in China over the past four decades that reveals how bureaucrats have spurred large-scale transformations from within. Yingyao Wang demonstrates how competition among bureaucrats motivated by careerism has led to the emergence of new policy approaches. Second-tier economic bureaucrats instituted distinctive—and often conflicting—'policy paradigms' aimed at securing their standing and rewriting China's long-term development plans for their own benefit. Emerging from the middle levels of the bureaucracy, these policy paradigms ultimately reorganised the Chinese economy and reshaped state-market relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on fine-grained biographical and interview data, Wang traces how officials coalesced around shared career trajectories, generational experiences, and social networks to create new alliances and rivalries. Shedding new light on the making and trajectory of China's ambitious economic reforms, this book also provides keen sociological insight into the relations among bureaucracy, states, and markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47406338146540,"sku":"9780231214797","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81bx2OJtp8L._SL1500.jpg?v=1773962877"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yingyao-wang.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
