Centre and Provinces: China 1978-1993: Power as Non-Zero-Sum - Hardcover

by Linda Chelan Li (Author)

This book constructs an interactive model of power to explain the relations of the central and provincial governments in reform China. Unlike most previous analyses, Centre and Provinces: China 1978-93 argues that provincial non-compliance is partly the product of central policy as well as provincial choice.
