"A comprehensive assessment of "where China stands today" in terms
of technological innovation, the resilience of Communist Party
rule, and debates about environmental sustainability and global
hegemony. A wonderful book for a broad audience!"
David Smith, University of California Irvine
"So and Chu are keen observers of China’s economy and society. In
The Global Rise of China they capture the drama of China’s rise and
inject a powerful new concept into the China debate: ‘state
neoliberalism.’ All future writing on China’s economy and society
will have to grapple with So and Chu’s approach. Essential reading
for sociologists, political scientists, and sinologists of all
ideological persuasions."
Salvatore Babones, Sydney University
"With considerable analytical rigor and clarity in exposition, So
and Chu delineate the role of the Chinese party-state in the
dramatic rise of China from a poor ‘third world’ state to an
economic and political super-power in less than four decades. This
compelling narrative will be an indispensable text for upper-level
undergraduate and graduate classes on China, East Asia, and
development studies courses."
Ravi Palat, Binghamton University
"In exploring the phenomenal economic transformation of China,
Alvin Y. So and Yin-wah Chu provide a 'state-centered explanation'
when they argue that the 'communist party-state' released or
constrained marketisation by means of ‘state neoliberalism’ […].
Despite this, unlike many other commentators, the authors emphasise
the continuities with the Great Leap Forward and other periods of
socialist experimentation."
