The Entrepreneurial State in China : Real Estate and Commerce Departments in Reform Era Tianjin PDF
by Jane Duckett
Part of the Routledge Studies on China in Transition series
Description
Jane Duckett describes in detail new state business activities in China and explains why they have appeared.
Using research on the northern city of Tianjin during the 1990s, she argues that individual departments, within the Chinese state, are involved in the market economy through the establishment of their own businesses.
The book demonstrates that many of these businesses are genuinely entrepreneurial in the sense of profit-seeking, risk-taking and productive, rather than rent-seeking, speculative or profiteering. This entrepreneurialism is an important new dimension of state activity in China with implications for our understanding of the Chinese state.
This book develops an alternative to the local government state model and emphasises instead the State's dynamic, entrepreneurial role in the process of economic reform.
