N2 - Thirty-years
of economic transformation has turned China into one of the major
players in the global capitalist economy. However, its economic growth
has generated rising problems in inequality, alienation, and
sustainability with the agrarian crises of the 1990s giving rise to real
social outcry to the extent that they became the object of central
government policy reformulations.
Contributing to a paradigm-shift in the theory and practices of
economic development, this book examines the concept of social economy
in China and around the world. It offers to rethink space, economy and
community in a trans-border context which moves us beyond both planned
and market economies. The chapters address theoretical issues, critical
reflections and case studies on the practice of social economy in the
context of globalization and its attempt to create an alternative
modernity. Through this, the book builds a platform for further
cross-disciplinary and cross-boundary dialogue on the future of social
economy in China and the world.
With examples from Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe this
book will not only appeal to students and scholars of Chinese and Asian
social policy and development, but also those of social economy from an
international perspective.
