The Geographical Transformation Of China (Routledge Studies In The Modern World Economy)

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.
