Project introduction:
|
Economic development in China has resulted in business regimes, which to some degree exhibit similarities with other Asian countries, yet which in crucial aspects are unique products of the political history and current political structure of China. Dominant here is the role of government in the economy. Existing research has documented the extensive networks linking various types of economic enterprises with government but there has been very little focus on how regional and municipal governments in China have created different business regimes and political economies. There also has been little attention to the differences between central and local governments in terms of modes of economic governance and strategy. We hence see today not a business regimes in China or one mode of government intervention but rather heterogeneous business regimes when comparing Chinese regions. The heterogeneous business regimes are the results of different provisions of political, legal, and social rights, different industry sectors and company clusters, different patterns of incoming FDI, different forms of human capital available across regions and not least different levels of institutional development across the regions. The project Heterogeneous Business Regimes addresses this gap in the literature on China’s economic development.
