The Chinese Diaspora and Mainland China An Emerging Economic Synergy [Hardcover]

The book describes the alliance, since the mid-1980s, of the entrepreneurs of the Chinese diaspora with the new locally based industrialisation that reform in China has allowed to flourish in its townships and villages. The synergy between these two derives from the ability of small non-bureaucratic actors on both sides to establish networks based on personal trust and reciprocity, producing a new kind of transformative development-from-below in which established Western and Japanese multinationals have little role.Preface - Introduction - PART 1: RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES - Chinese Diaspora Capitalism - China, Reforms and Opportunities - Towards a Synergy - Cobwebs Across the Divides - PART 2: INTO CHINA THROUGH TRANSNATIONAL NETWORKS - Introduction: The Sleepers - The Tycoons - Networking into China by Smaller Investors - Transnational Small and Medium Enterprise - PART 3: IMPACTS AND OUTCOMES - Introduction: Dependency and Development - Diaspora Tycoons and Development in China - Long Term Perspectives and Local Meshing - Ripples on a Pond - Diaspora Capitalists Come of Age - Labour and Capital - Conclusion - IndexCONSTANCE LEVER-TRACY
