Economic Growth, Income Distribution And Poverty Reduction In Contemporary China by Shujie Yao (Hard

China has experienced over a quarter century of rapid economic growth, which has a phenomenal impact on the global economy. Entering into the 21st century implies that China has begun a new phase of economic and social development. Vast improvement in people's living standards, however, has been coupled with two critical problems: inequality and poverty. The key question is not that people should be pessimistic about China's future growth and prosperity, but that people should consider which direction that China will go. Is it going to become one of the most un-egalitarian countries like Brazil and Mexico, or one of the most dynamic and relatively egalitarian economies like South Korea and Taiwan. This book reviews the economic development history of contemporary China from 1949 up to today, paying special attention to the interface among growth, inequality and poverty reduction. A real China economic miracle should have two important features: high income growth and a fair distribution system so that povertycan be eradicated.

US-China Relations in the 21st Century by Zhiqun Zhu (Hardcover - Routledge)

US-China Relations in the 21st Century addresses the bilateral relations of these two nations on an international, domestic, societal and individual level between 1990 and 2005. Peaceful power shift remains a central dilemma in world politics, since historically power transition from a dominant nation to a challenger has been associated with international wars. This book examines whether China and the US can learn from history and manage a potential power transition peacefully. Grounding his research on contemporary US-China relations with thorough theoretical, historical and policy exploration, Zhu selects two important cases of power transitions in history as the background for this study: power rivalry between Great Britain and Germany (1871-1914) that led to World War I, and the peaceful power transition from Great Britain to the United States (1865-1945).

US-China Relations in the 21st Century contributes to the current IR theory by proposing a new analytical model on global power transition and provides recommendations for peacefully handling a potential power transition from the US to China in the future. This original and comprehensive study is essential reading for scholars of US and Chinese foreign policy, world politics and international relations.

Urban Poverty, Housing, and Social Change in China by Ya-Ping Wang (Hardcover - Routledge)

Urban reform in China has dramatically changed the socialist urban landscapes and the economy is one of the most dynamic systems. However, economic reform has had a very uneven effect on urban population. While the living standard of a significant proportion of urban residents has improved, a sizeable group of households has been left behind and became a new class - the urban poor.

There is a close association between poverty and housing in transitional societies. Along with job security, housing was the most important element of the socialist welfare system. Housing privatisation therefore has far-reaching social and economic implications. While urban economic reform and the associated unemployment problems have attracted some attention, the linkage between urban poverty and housing has been largely overlooked until now.

The major concern of this book is about societies in transition and the associated problem of urban poverty. Under this broad theme, the book aims to analyse the social and economic changes brought forward in Chinese cities by the country's on-going reform programme. It focuses particularly on the problems of urban poverty and low-income urban communities found in large Chinese cities

Unemployment, Inequality And Poverty In Urban China by Shi Li (Hardcover - Routledge)

Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. These problems include unemployment resulting from labor retrenchment, the migration to cities of former rural workers who have become unemployed as the agriculture sector is modernized, and increasing poverty as the social benefits which went with employment in state-owned enterprises are curtailed. The scale of these problems is huge. Based on extensive original research, this book explores many aspects of unemployment, inequality and poverty in urban China.
