Understanding a Changing China: Key Issues for Business

With China’s continued growth and engagement with every continent, to understand the key issues shaping this country’s business environment and the behaviour of Chinese business people becomes increasingly difficult especially when important issues are contested. Is China really the biggest economy in the world? This and several more issues are often misconstrued in the media and heavily influenced by partisan interpretations. However, there is also the well-researched and well-argued analyses in academic literature and business press, reaching diametrically opposite conclusions.

This book provides a thoughtful, thorough, and even-handed overview and analysis of the key issues that shape the threats and opportunities arising from China’s development in the next decade. By building on existing academic foundation, it provides readers with conceptual tools and evidence needed to understand and make sound judgement as China continues to evolve and increase its sphere of economic and business influence in Eurasia.
