China's Developmental Miracle Origins, Transformations, and Challenges

China's economic reforms have been quite successful. Over the past two decades decollectivization, marketization, state enterprise reforms, and reintegration into the world economy have led to rapid economic development in China. These economic reforms, in turn, triggered profound social and political changes such as massive temporary migrations to the cities, a consumer revolution by the newly emerged middle class, the revival of religious movements, the rise of Chinese feminism, and a drive toward democratization. This book examines the origins, the nature, the impact, and the challenges facing China's developmental miracle. It explores intriguing issues including an explanation for China's rapid development; whether China's remarkable growth rate will continue; the significance of China's consumer revolution; the impact of this developmental miracle on China's politics, economy and society; and how China is prepared to democratize in its own way. Chapter authors come from disciplines such as economics, sociology, political science, and geography, giving the book a comprehensive overview of Chinese development from a multidisciplinary perspective.
