China's Developmental Miracle
In contrast to the failure to economic reforms in Eastern Europe, China's economic reforms have been quite successful.

This collection examines the origins, nature, and impact, as well as the future prospects of these reforms and changes.

Precarious Ties
Developing Asia has been the site of some of the last century's fastest growing economies as well as some of the world's most durable authoritarian regimes. Many accounts of rapid growth alongside monopolies on political power have focused on crony relationships between the state and business. But these relationships have not always been smooth, as anti-corruption campaigns, financial and banking crises, and dramatic bouts of liberalization and crackdown demonstrate. Why do partnerships between political and business elites fall apart over time? And why do some partnerships produce stable growth and others produce crisis or stagnation?
