Western literature always prescribes that the best model for railway reform is privatization. China's leadership has also enunciated the state's determination to re-arrange property rights and rejuvenate corporate governance. But is China's railway reform really a story of convergence and will the Chinese government follow the western model of railway reform? Addressing these questions, this book provides a positive explanation of the reform in China's railway sector between 1978 and the dissolution of the Ministry of Railways. It bridges the socialist reform and transport policy literature, and studies the empirical changes of the property rights arrangements in China's railway system. Refuting the convergence theory, it concludes that the cyclical reform policies of decentralization and re-centralization were actually an exploratory and interactive mechanism of "assets discovery" and "assets recovery". This in-depth study is based on 21 face-to-face interviews with railway cadres as well as field trips to collect first-hand information in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Wuhan. As one of the only empirical studies on the reform of the railway sector in China, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of China studies, Transport studies and Political Economy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Railroads $z China. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85111098 650 0 $a Railroads and state $z China. 650 0 $a Transportation $z China. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112974 650 0 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Economic policy $y 2000- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00001557 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Infrastructure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Industries / Transportation. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Infrastructure (Economics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973275 650 7 $a Railroads. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01088711 650 7 $a Railroads and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089339 650 7 $a Transportation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155007 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary China series ; $v 131. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005012182 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=70CE0DDEEA0B11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
