Quiet politics and rural enterprise in reform China
Article Abstract:
Rural industrialization in China has been posting massive growth since the 1970s, besting the state sector. From 1978 to 1987, rural industrial output was placed at 26%, and the 1988-1992 average grew at 32%. This has resulted in a redistribution of resources from central to local power networks, inevitably affecting governance. Although the major force that propelled rural industrialization has been local prosperity, it nonetheless has resulted in the weakening of the state.

The politics of business associations in the developing world
Article Abstract:
The developments in the business climate over the last 20 years have changed the relation between the state and the private sector. Business associations have emerged as important components of economic growth in contrast to the dominant role of the state in business during the 1950s and 1970s. Business groups now play a more active role in promoting its own interests in light of the failure of the interventionist state.
