Cities in China

well conceived, well structuredwith a clearly delineated focusthe methodology is appropriate and ingeniousthe articles are data-rich, absorbing, well-researched, and support the editors conclusions.

Dorie Solinger, University of California, Irvine

Until now, Chinas eye-catching economic performance over the last two decades has only been examined from macro-national and provincial perspectives. However, since post-Mao Chinas reform strategy has been predominantly regional in nature, further bringing down the level of analysis is a key to understanding Chinas remarkable success. This book, for the first time, focuses on sub-provincial cities as territorially based entrepreneurial agents. More importantly, Cities in China provides the widest coverage in the field of contemporary China studies, by comparing the developmental recipes of fourteen cities in eight provinces.

Developmental experiences of these cities are analysed using a frame work of three categories: the given endowments of location and history; the administrative arrangements and target policies granted by central and provincial governments; local entrepreneurial leaders and locally generated strategies of reform and opening. Case studies cover: six deputy provincial cities in five provinces (Dalian, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Chengdu); three prefecture level cities (Wenzhou, Nantong, Fuzhou); three county level cities (Panyu, Nanhai, Zhangjiagang); and two provincial level cities (Tianjin, Chongqing).

This volume, written by contributors from a number of different disciplines, suggests that different combinations of factors have contributed to the relative successes and failures in these cities. Endowment factors, preferential policies, and history have all proved to be important. Most importantly, Cities in China suggests that locally generated strategies of development are crucial determinants. This ground-breaking volume reveals, through close detail and broad coverage, how exactly cities have been key agents as well as catalysts for Chinas economic development. It will provide much needed data for those working in the fields of comparative politics, development studies, Asian studies, and contemporary China studies.

Jae Ho Chung is Assistant Professor in the Department of International Relations at Seoul National University. He is the author of Central Control and Local Discretion in China: Leadership and Implementation during Post-Mao Decollectivization and co-editor of Provincial Strategies of Economic Reform in Post-Mao China.
