This book examines the development model that has driven China's economic success and looks at how it differs from the Washington Consensus. China’s Development Model (CDM) is examined with a view to answering a central question: given China’s peculiar matrix of a socialist party-state juxtaposed with economic internationalization and marketization, what are the underlying dynamics and the distinctive features of the economic and political/legal/social dimensions of the CDM, and how do we properly characterize their interrelations? The chapters further analyse to what extent and under what circumstances is China's development model sustainable, and to what degree is it readily applicable to other developing countries.
Based on their findings in this volume, the authors conclude that the defining feature of the CDM’s economic dimension is "Janus-faced state-led growth," and the political/legal/social dimension of the CDM is best characterized as "adaptive post-totalitarianism." The contributors illustrate that the CDM’s parameters are shown to be much less sustainable than the CDM’s outcome in developmental performance and the extent to which the CDM can be applied to other late-developers is subject to more qualifications than its sustainability.
"[T]he editors and contributors remind us to analyze China’s rise in relation to its internal political and socioeconomic challenges. This collection of essays is timely and informative, and should appeal to development economists, political scientists, and students interested in China’s future."- Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, Ph.D., Pace University in New York; Journal of International and Global Studies Vol. 3, No. 2 Spring 2012
"this volume should be of interest and value to advanced undergraduate as well as graduate students and faculty with a particular interest in the ongoing debates on China’s model of economic and political development" - Matt Ferchen, Journal of Chinese Political Science
