    Wages in ChinaAn Economic Analysis (3-Volume Set)ZHANG Jun (Fudan University)

    Dissects Chinas Wage Determination MechanismA major determinant of the primary distribution of national income, wages will have tremendous impacts on both social equity and economic efficiency in China. Wages in China: An Economic Analysis presents the latest research results on the transformation of Chinas wage formation mechanism since the adoption of the Reform and Opening Up policy.

    This 3-volume series looks at the impact from the institutional evolution of the wage system, social networks, and geographical factors on the determination of wages.

The perspective of inter-industrial wage spillover is also followed to explain the wage differences and convergence paradox.

    Corporate Governance in ChinaThe Role of Institutional InvestorsYUAN Rongli (Renmin University of China)

    A Multifaceted Study of the Role of Financial Institutions in the Governance of Chinas Listed CompaniesThe growing share of institutional investors in the capital market has increasingly brought their role in corporate governance to the fore of academic discourse. While China is no exception in this booming trend, Chinese academia has not given the issue equal attention. Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors contextualizes the assessment of the monitoring function of institutional investors in the Chinese economy using mixed research methods including interviews, secondary data analysis, and a case study.

    Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors attempts to verify the validity of established agency theory and findings on corporate governance to China. Noting the diverse types of institutional investors in China, author Yuan Rongli singles out financial institutions, particularly securities investment funds and securities companies, which are counterparts of institutional investors as traditionally understood, as she probes into the actual functioning of financial institutions in corporate governance as well as the corresponding effects on company performance. Her study, apart from confirming the important role of these financial institution investors, identifies the factors that enhance and limit this role and the main agency problem in Chinas corporate governance.

    Cooling Chinas Housing Bubble Policies for Sustainable GrowthGUO Qingwang and ZHANG Jie (Renmin University of China)

    A Comprehensive Exploration of Countermeasures for Housing Bubbles Under Chinas New Normal Cooling Chinas Housing Bubble: Policies for Sustainable Growth, a substantive study funded by the China Fiscal and Financial Policy Research Institute of the Renmin University of China, tackles the knotty problem of housing market development from a policy perspective. In China, policymakers have been grappling with the dilemma between escalating home prices, which have fed fears of a housing bubble burst, and the possible economy-dampening consequences of regulatory measures. This raises the question that prompted the current study: How can China achieve a soft landing for its property market?

    Referencing economic theories and models, contributors of Cooling Chinas Housing Bubble: Policies for Sustainable Growth come up with a fair mechanism for determining Chinas equilibrium home price and examine the risk of housing bubbles in the country. They then evaluate past and current financial, land, and housing policies, including the recent home-purchase restrictions which have effected a temporary drop in property investments, in terms of their effects on home prices, while giving suggestions on policies for sustainable growth in the property market.

In this time, people have witnessed Chinese enterprises continuously booming outward FDI activities. However, behind this glorious picture, there are still some doubts such as: What are the motives of Chinese enterprises outward FDI activities? In what ways can Chinese transnational companies get benefits under international vertical specialization? This book can provide answers to these questions by:

    Building theoretical models to explain how China could benefit from the spillover effect and get upgraded in the global value chain

    Explaining Chinese enterprises outward FDI motives with evidence from Chinas manufacturing industry

    Conducting general equilibrium analysis of Chinas technology-sourcing outward FDI and its entry mode

    BOOK REVIEW

    The first volume of Managing Inflation in China: Current Trends and New Strategies illustrates a main strand of Chinese economic research. It is ambitious in scope and seeks to integrate both Chinese and foreign work. For those not intimately familiar with the Chinese economy, Chapter 3 is especially valuable. It correctly upends conventional views about the role of the money supply, emphasizing the crucial role of lending to producers.

    The History and Spirit of Chinese Art(2-Volume Set)ZHANG Fa (Renmin University of China)

    Art is always a product of cultural evolution, and The History and Spirit of Chinese Art looks at this universal process as it unfolded in ancient China. With mountain-water landscape paintings, works of classical Chinese calligraphy, and blue and white porcelain widely displayed in museums and fetching high prices in auction houses worldwide, Chinese art is no longer foreign to the Western world. However, to many, the making of such cultural artefacts remains an enigmatic process. Indeed, Chinese art, the product of such an old civilization, was shaped by an ongoing process of evolution along the ebb and flow of Chinas history as a nation.

    In The History and Spirit of Chinese Art , aesthetics expert Zhang Fa deciphers the philosophies and thoughts that have defined Chinese art since the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, moving through the dynastic landmarks of artistic development with discussions of numerous art forms including paintings, architecture, dance and music, calligraphy, and literature.

    ZHANG Fa is Professor of the School of Art and President of the Institute of Aesthetic Research, Renmin University of China, and he has been a Visiting Fellow of Harvard University (19961997) as well as the University of Toronto (20022003). Currently, he also sits on the Board of the Chinese Association for Aesthetics and Chinese Comparative Literature Association. He has published influential research papers and books on aesthetics and Chinese art, including The Elements of Aesthetics (1999), A History of Chinese Aesthetics (2000), and Art, Literature, and the Modernity of China (2002).

    Unequal Treaties and China(2-Volume Set)WANG Jianlang (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)

    From the first Opium War (1839-1842) and until the birth of New China in 1949, China was forced to sign multiple unequal treaties by foreign imperialist and invading powers. In these treaties, China conceded many of its sovereign rights in terms of territory and commerce. Ever since the time of the first unequal treaty (the Treaty of Nanjing), the people of China have struggled to invalidate these unequal treaties. Unequal Treaties and China provides a comprehensive overview of Chinas history of fighting against these unequal treaties.

    Understanding a countrys history is a vital way of understanding its people. In this book author Wang Jianlang looks at how history has affected the nation and how those unequal treaties from foreign powers have shaped Chinas policies even up until the modern day.

    A comprehensive survey of Chinas unequal treaties with foreign imperialist powers since the late-Qing era

    A comparison of how different governments in China in different eras responded to the unequal treaties

    WANG Jianlang is the President of the Institute of Modern History, CASS, the General Secretary of the Association of Chinese Historians, He is also the author of The Return of Xinjiang to Chinese Central Control during the Last Days of the Sino-Japanese War: A Reappraisal Based on Chiang Kai-sheks Diary (2010) and other works.

    The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature(2-Volume Set)XIE Mian (Peking University)

    Explores the Metamorphosis of Chinese Literature in the Modern EraThe 20th century was an era of tremendous changes for Chinese society, and these changes shaped the development of Chinese literature as revealed in The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature. Rulers in the late-Qing dynasty era were subjected to unwilling reforms which saw the abolition of the eight-legged essays and the imperial examination as these had notoriously restricted the thinking of the Chinese literati. Shortly after the fall of the Qing, leaders of the New Culture Movement started to promote vernacular literature, stressed the need for a re-examination of the ancient classics, and championed the popularization of Western values. After that, Chinese literature was taken on a completely different trajectory, not only in stylistic terms but also in ideological ones.

    The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature is the fruit of poet and critic Xie Mians decades-long study of contemporary Chinese literature during his earlier years as a professor at Peking University. Grouped thematically and in accordance with the periods in discussion, this collection of nearly 50 essays provides an integrated examination of the historical backdrop and ideologies that underpinned Chinese literature from the days of the New Culture Movement to the New Era beyond the Cultural Revolution through a mix of microscopic criticisms and macroscopic overviews. The book won the Chinese Association of Contemporary Literature Outstanding Achievement Award.

    BOOK REVIEW

    "CHEN Gaohua is one of the best-known Chinese scholars in Yuan Studies. ..The English translation by Phoebe Poon is a creditable contribution to the research literature of Yuan history in the western world. The glossary of personal names, building names and official titles is a handy reference tool for general readers, and Yuan studies scholars may find it useful, too."

    --Xian Wu, Michigan State University
