The Geographical Transformation of China (Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The aim of this book is to examine the transformation of the geography of China in the years since the start of China's policy of reform and opening-up in 1978, as seen through the eyes of Chinese geographers. Throughout that period, Chinese geographers have studied these environmental, economic, political and cultural processes closely, drawing on sources that are far from easy to access, and have published their results in Chinese. Much of this research has underpinned the Chinese government's assessment of policies and the policy choices at different levels, yet it is not well known outside of China.
This volume deals with aspects of the socio-economic geography of China's transformation including its changing relations with the rest of the world, although it also deals with the impact of China's development path on the country's ecological systems. Each chapter deals with aggregate trends and specific cases to show the ways in which the particular characteristics of China's economic and social order (economic organization, political system and cultural model and values) have shaped and are shaped by its geography.

This book presents an account and interpretation of the transformation of the geography of China in the years since the start of China's policy of reform and opening up as seen through the eyes of Chinese geographers. Each chapter illustrates the ways in which the particular characteristics of China's economic and social order (economic organisation, political system and cultural model and values) have shaped the geographical environment and the ways of life and work of Chinese people: enterprises, households and government organisations. The book helps readers to understand the way China works and how the workings of Chinese society shape (and are shaped by its) geography. The book also pays attention to the ways in which China's natural environment and resource endowments and the humanly created environment interacts with economic, political and cultural mechanisms.
