Description - Social Change and Social Policy in Contemporary China by Linda Wong
Since Mao's demise, China has embraced economic modernization with a vengeance. The stunning growth that followed the reforms and the effects on her political institutions has captured world attention. Nevertheless, there has been a dearth of studies on social change and social policy in this period of rapid transition. This text scrutinizes the social change process and the reform challenge, assesses the social policy responses, and analyzes key policy issues affecting China's 1.2 billion people. It not only offers an indepth dissection of the subject, but also draws out salient points in the policy and development debates and places the Chinese experience in a comparitive perspective. All the contributors are academics from Hong Kong who have drawn upon many years of research in China and skills of social policy analysis to offer a unique review of social developments in the world's number three economic power.
