Beschreibung:
The primary purpose of the book is to understand how China has used foreign investment to promote local development. It uses the case studies of five Chinese regions that have joint venture projects in the auto industry. The analysis covers two decades, both before and after Chinese accession to the World Trade Organization, and is based on hundreds of interviews. The auto industry provides a window into the strategies of the global multinationals that seek access to the vast Chinese market - companies such as Volkswagen, General Motors, and Honda.
Addresses two of the most important trends in political economy - globalization and decentralization - in the context of the world's most rapidly growing economic power, China. The work provides an understanding of how local political and economic institutions shape the ability of Chinese state-owned firms to utilize Foreign Direct Investment.
