China's rapid economic development has been realized through its interactive endeavors with many other countries. The China miracle is therefore not an isolated event limited to one country and should not be examined and measured with a single theory such as conventional growth economics, development economics, or institutional economics. Development of China in Modern World System explores the driving forces of the China miracle from the perspective of international development. It discusses how China managed, over the past 30 years, to grasp the opportunities for development through opening itself up and seeking cooperation and competition with other countries in terms of foreign trade, capital, human capital, technology import, and management system. It also looks at the various issues confronted by China in its long-term development.KEY FEATURES- Written by a group of prominent Chinese economists, the series represents a concerted effort bynative scholars to analyze the 'Chinese Miracle' as well as predict its future development.- Each volume examines different aspects of the reform, such as structural reform, entrepreneurship, local governments, specialized markets, innovation and globalization.- Contains numerous graphs and tables.This title is part of China's Reform Studies Series that include:1.

Part I touches upon the background of the reform and the evolution of its strategy-administrative decentralization during 1958-1978, incremental reform during 1979-1993, and overall advance from 1994 to the present. Part II discusses the reform strategies and their implementation in major sectors of the economy: the agricultural sector, the state-owned industrial sector, the private sector, the financial sector, government finance, and foreign trade and investment.

The adaptation of Marxism to actual Chinese conditions resulted in the creation of a theoretical system of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. This system, formulated by the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the theoretical summary of the essence and general laws of China's socialist reform and economic development since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, especially during the decades of Reform and Opening up that started from 1978. Being an innovative application and development of Marxism in the historical context of contemporary China, it not only follows the general principles of Marxism and scientific socialism, but also exhibits features that are unique to the Chinese nation.\nBasing on official materials and drawing on existing academic achievements in CPC theoretical studies, Marxism and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics focuses on the interpretation of the basic tenets, theoretical value, and contemporary significance of traditional Marxism, the exploration of the features of the theoretical system of Chinese socialism from various perspectives, and in particular the study of the relationship between these two important theories, shedding light on the historical process of the sinicization of Marxism. The chapters in the book are arranged topically and interrelated. Topics covered include the origin and development of socialist ideology; the sinicization of Marxism and the creation of the theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics; the development law of the socialist market economy; socialist democracy and the dictatorship of the proletariat; the Marxist theory on political party and party-building in China; and the scientific outlook on development, all of which are aimed at illuminating the significance and relevance of Marxism in contemporary times, especially in the context of China.\nKEY FEATURES\n- Examines the basic tenets, theoretical value, and contemporary significance of traditional Marxism 
- Elaborates on the sinicization of Marxism and features of the theoretical system of Chinese socialism from various perspectives 
- Consists of 12 chapters 
- Fifth title in the series 'Studies on the Theory of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics'

While the story of China's fast economic development is often told in terms of manufacturing, exports, finance, and real estate, this book provides the ultimate guided tour into another engine room of growth-the commercial sector.The biennial publication, Blue Book of China s Commercial Sector (2016-17), now in its sixth edition, offers the single most authoritative account of those trends and issues re-shaping China's commercial landscape, from retailing, wholesale/distribution and logistics to catering and urban development. The National Academy of Economic Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing partners with Hong Kong-based Fung Business Intelligence in providing a timely, detailed analysis of China's commercial sector at the start of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20). They explore and map the impacts of two developments integral to the plan: China's ongoing transition to a 'new normal' of economic growth that is slower but of higher quality, and the rise of new technologies and business models that are driving an e-commerce boom unlike that seen in any other large economy.These are among the many reasons why the Blue Book of China s Commercial Sector (2016-17)is an essential resource for businesses, analysts, scholars, and governments alike.KEY FEATURES- Presents a comprehensive account of China's commercial sector in 2016 and forecasts the development trends of 2017.- Provides in-depth analyses of dierent industries including e-commerce, retailing, logistics, wholesale and distribution, and catering.- Popular topics such as online retailing, luxury market, department store, and retail logistics in China are included.
