Hainan - State, Society, and Business in a Chinese Province by Kjeld Brdsgaard
This book examines the complex relationship between the state, society and business in China, focusing on the experience of the island province of Hainan. It provides detailed evidence of how relations between party cadres, state bureaucrats, businesses, foreign investors and civil society play out in practice in China today.'The work is particularly valuable to ‘China-watchers’ as there is not a great deal available in English on this province of the PRCThe book is quite short, 144 detailed pages [excluding tables etc.,] set out in 11 chapters but the author writes very lucidly and indeed tells the tale very well. It can be thus recommended as a useful source for graduate students and researchers interested in China. It is, however, at the cover-price essentially at best a library-purchase.' - Malcolm Warner, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, Asia Pacific Business Review, 2010
