Chinas provinces in reform

Chinas provinces are all considerable social, economic and political systems in their own right, and most are the size and scale of a European country in population, land area and social complexity; under other circumstances they might well be regarded as separate states, rather than component parts of a single, unitary system. Despite their distinct identities and importance to the countrys social, political and economic development, Chinas provinces only recently became a major focus of inquiry with the introduction of reform and decentralisation.

This volume is the first of a series examining each of Chinas provinces in reform and deals with Guangxi, Hainan, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanghai, Sichuan and Zhejiang. It is concerned with the impact of economic reform on social and political change within each of the provinces. The issues revealed by this study are not only the determinants of provincial politics of central-provincial relations in China, but also wider concerns about the impact of economic modernisation on social and political change. The seven cases presented here highlight the effects of economic growth on class formations, regional development within each province and emergent political cultures, particularly those related to questions of local identity.

Chinas Provinces in Reform is the first of a series that will provide an authoritative and comprehensive survey of Chinas regional politics. As such it will be essential reading for all those concerned with the impact of the reform era.

David S.G.Goodman is Director of the Institute for International Studies, University of Technology, Sydney.
