Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers involved in China’s political economy, international relations, and regional development in the context of globalisation.
China is a continent-sized economy and society with substantial diversity across its different regions, meaning that its engagement with the global economy cannot just be understood at the national level. This book responds to this challenge by looking at the development of China’s regions in this era of globalization.

Description
The rise of China has been shaped and driven by its engagement with the global economy during a period of intensified globalization. Yet, China is a continent-sized economy and society with substantial diversity across its different regions. This means that its engagement with the global economy cannot just be understood at the national level, but requires analysis of the differences in participation in the global economy across China’s regions.
China’s Regions in an Era of Globalization responds to this challenge by looking at the development of China’s regions in this era of globalization. It traces the evolution of regional policy in China and its implications in a global context.
Detailed chapters examine the global trajectory of what is now becoming known as the Greater Bay Area in southern China, the globalization of the inland mega-city of Chongqing, and the role of China’s regions in the globally-focused belt and road initiative launched by the Chinese government in late 2013.
This book will be of interest to practitioners and scholars engaging with contemporary China’s political economy and international relations.
