Behind the Open Door
This study describes the experiences of foreign-invested firms in the mainland Chinese economy and discusses the implications of those experiences for the foreign commercial policies of the industrial countries, including the United States. It draws on extensive interviews with expatriate managers and other professionals currently at work in China. Whereas recent books on Chinese marketplace conditions focus on a single firm or issue or lack a discussion of policy conclusions (because they are prepared for a commercial audience), this study is distinguished by the breadth of industry interviews and its concern for policy implications. Rosen makes a rare attempt to deduce the policy implications of current experiences of foreign firms in China, presenting conclusions that go beyond those found in today's usual policy debate. Behind the Open Door is a must for China specialists and should be read by anyone with general or business interests in China or the Asia-Pacific region. The book is an ideal text for MBA programs that focus on the region, and for political science and Asian studies courses on China.

Suggesting future lines of inquiry for policymakers and others, this report attempts to distill the essential points of discussion and debate that occurred during a conference on electronic media regulation and the first amendment attended by 21 experts representing legislative, regulatory, business, judicial, academic, audience, and media interests. Sections of the report discuss: coping with the "paradigm" shift in communications; the old paradigms and how they work; broadcasting and scarcity: the Geller critique; reactions to Geller and alternative paradigms; the hybrid first amendment rights of cable television; is common carriage incompatible with the first amendment?; proposed theories of the first amendment in the era of electronic media; reactions to the 10 theories of the first amendment; and the question whether a single theory of the first amendment can embrace both print and electronic media? A partial list of referenced cases, a list of conference participants, and the Program on Communications and Society policy statement are attached. (RS)
