Description

China and India are two large, developing countries that have globalized and undergone tremendous development in the last several decades. Yet, they have taken separate paths toward globalization. Dr. Hsueh questions the conventional wisdom that variation in regime type and subnational characteristics shape their different models of development. Rather, mediating the impact of economic liberalization on industrialization is the nature of market governance. Dominant patterns of market governance, which shape industrial outcomes, are a function of the values and identities of political economic elites, existing organization of institutions, and structural sectoral attributes.
