Description: "This volume advances the research on China's Special Economic Zones (SEZs) by studying the case of Xiamen, one of the four original SEZs. Qi Luo explores in-depth the nature and sources of policy inconsistency displayed by central government towards the SEZs, the essential contributions the experiment has made to the development of the rest of China and the impact of trade and investment across the Taiwan Strait on local industrial and trade reforms. It also contains a cutting-edge analysis of China's accession to the World Trade organization." "Significantly enhancing our understanding of the complexity of China's reform and emerging economic openness, as well as the development of the SEZs specifically, this detailed study will be of great use to postgraduates, scholars and experts on China's economy."--BOOK JACKET.
