State Failure and Distorted Urbanisation in Post-Mao's China, 1993-2012

by Kent Deng and Yazhuo Zheng

Book Overview

This book examines failure in the urbanisation of Northwest China as a result of government industrial policies that have impacted on the economic development of the region. By looking at the under-researched provinces of Gansu, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia, which make up a quarter of China's territory, Zheng and Deng challenge the common story of China's miracle growth and reveal the dark side of the country's pursuit of modernity.
