Description
Guanxi, translated as 'social connections,' or 'social networks,' is among the most important studied phenomena in China today.
Guanxi lies at the heart of China's social order, its economic structure, and its changing institutional landscape.
It is considered important in every realm of life, from politics to business, and officialdom to street life.
This volume offers scholarly thinking on the subject by top China sociologists whose work on guanxi has been influential and by scholars offering insights on the topic.
The authors examine the role of guanxi in: business decisions among managers and entrepreneurs; the decisions and practices of workers; the construction of new legal institutions; the new social order.
Scholars and students of China will find this a rich source of detailed information on the workings of Chinese social relationships and a valuable, new interpretation of the meaning and place of guanxi today.
