The aim of this book is to examine the transformation of the geography of China in the years since the start of China's policy of reform and opening-up in 1978, as seen through the eyes of Chinese geographers. Throughout that period, Chinese geographers have studied these environmental, economic, political and cultural processes closely, drawing on sources that are far from easy to access, and have published their results in Chinese. Much of this research has underpinned the Chinese government's assessment of policies and the policy choices at different levels, yet it is not well known outside of China.This volume deals with aspects of the socio-economic geography of China's transformation including its changing relations with the rest of the world, although it also deals with the impact of China's development path on the country's ecological systems. Each chapter deals with aggregate trends and specific cases to show the ways in which the particular characteristics of China's economic and social order (economic organization, political system and cultural model and values) have shaped and are shaped by its geography.

This pioneering book appraises earlier literature and proposes methodological, theoretical and analytical tools for understanding the uneven evolution of development. Michael Dunford explores how global development and international, national, regional and social inequalities have been shaped by centuries of colonisation, imperialism, industrialisation and the rise and fall of hegemonic powers.Advocating for an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, Dunford presents a macro-geographical and macro-historical account of the waves of uneven development that have resulted in an emerging multi-polar world, with Asia returning to the centre of the global economy. Chapters cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives from political economy, structuralist and developmentalist to dependency theories, and from classical location theories to contemporary geographical economics and economic geography. Dunford identifies economic and political mechanisms that drive the forces shaping the uneven course of development and emphasises the dynamics of investment and the roles of state sovereignty and governance capacity.Rethinking Uneven Development is a vital resource for students and scholars of human geography, development studies, urban and regional studies and political economy.

The people of China and its (widely differing) regions have not all benefited equally from the country’s rapid increase in prosperity, and the speed and timing of increases have varied across time and space. However, China has managed to help those left behind to catch up. These outcomes reflect a specific social model embedded in China’s cultural and political milieu. Exploring the Chinese Social Model presents new analysis and fresh research on how China deals with unequal development and inequality in the context of its surging economic growth.The book sheds new light on the workings of China’s social model, going beyond binary notions of market and state, and considers the new facets of its socialist market economy. In exploring these questions, the authors consider what is special about China and what the Chinese model is all about.
