Regulating the Visible Hand? cover

The economic and geopolitical implications of China's rise have been the subject of vast commentary. However, the institutional implications of China's transformative development under state capitalism have not been examined extensively and comprehensively. Regulating the Visible Hand? The Institutional Implications of Chinese State Capitalism examines the domestic and global consequences of Chinese state capitalism, focusing on the impact of state-owned enterprises on regulation and policy, while placing China's variety of state capitalism in comparative perspective. It first examines the domestic governance of Chinese state capitalism, looking at institutional design and regulatory policy in areas ranging from the environment and antitrust to corporate law and taxation. It then analyses the global consequences for the regulation of trade, investment and finance. Contributors address such questions as: What are the implications of state capitalism for China's domestic institutional trajectory? What are the global implications of Chinese state capitalism? What can be learned from a comparative analysis of state capitalism?

The book can safely be recommended to anyone interested in Chinese political economy in general or SOEs specifically ... The ground covered through all three parts is vast and conceptually envelops SOEs in China between various points of view dealing with the political, social and global aspects, all of which have an unfortunate tendency of absence in more traditional and sterile research. Indeed, the relatively large number of chapters, expert contributors and content puts this volume halfway toward becoming a handbook on Chinese state capitalism ... With the logical arch of this volume spanning from the regulation pertaining to the largest economic subjects in China and finishing in the comparative issues of Chinese capitalism, unafraid to tackle questions such as labor organization, Party political elites and international implications along the way, it is well poised to become another useful voice. * Josip Lučev, The Legal History Review *
