China’s Rise: Development and Capital Accumulation in Contemporary China
Today, few questions pose more significance to scholars and policymakers than the “rise of China.” As scholars grapple with explaining China’s rise, they also provide
tantalizing previews of the future of Chinese growth, and by extension, the future of the global economy. This course explores the character, conditions, and consequences of
the rapid Chinese economic growth that many have termed “capitalism with Chinese characteristics.” It summarizes three paradigms for explaining this growth: a statecentered, a market-centered, and a society-centered explanation. The course is divided in three parts, each examining a separate paradigm of development, and providing case
studies of how this paradigm explains growth in specific industries and sectors of the Chinese economy.
