The economic and social crises that engulfed China - and indeed much of the rest of the socialist world - in the late 1980s, culminating in the 1989 democratic movement and its suppression, stimulated a rethinking of central propositions of the first edition. It particularly led the author to inquire anew into the meaning of socio-political as well as economic development in a populous and poor agrarian nation. This volume, then, assesses the economic performance and social consequences of China's political economy over four decades, with a focus on China's countryside and city-countryside relations. In addition to a reconceptualization and updating of the introductory chapter, there is a new chapter, \"The Social Origins and Limits of the Chinese Democratic Movement\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893605716119,"sku":"9781563240928","price":4288.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781563240928.webp?v=1770317538","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-political-economy-of-chinese-development-9781563240928","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
