China's Governance Openness and Reforms

An incisive analysis of China's policy evolution through policy learning and governance reforms. This scholarly work provides a theoretical, empirical, and prescriptive examination of policy learning in China. It challenges conventional understandings by emphasizing the importance of comparative investigation and the interactive dimensions of policy transfer networks. Through original case studies, the authors explore the role of policy learning in China's transition to a market socialist economy and its implications for the rise of a New Authoritarian Developmental State. Readers will gain insights into the dynamics of change underpinning China's incremental reform process and the ingredients of rational policy learning. This is essential reading for academics, policy-makers, and anyone interested in Chinese studies, Asian studies, and governance.
