Group Governance in a Chinese Third Line Enterprise
Overview
This book uncovers the mysterious social and political structures of China’s "Third Front", the large state-sponsored development of inland China during the late Maoist period. This movement gave birth to a few important industrial bases such as Panzhihua and Liupanshui and had significant impact on megacities such as Lanzhou, Wuhan, and Chongqing.
Significance
Yet, this is scarcely known to the West and even the younger generation of Chinese. Chen explores the ways that new industrial structures and hierarchies were created and operated, using political and sociological methodologies to understand what is distinctive in the history of the Chinese corporation.
Intended Audience
This book will be of immense interest to political scientists, sociologists, China scholars, and researchers of alternative economic structures.
