the website that accompanies the latest book by
Jonathan STORY,
(Professor of International Political Economy at INSEAD, in France)
entitled

'CHINA the race to market'

which attempts to answer four key questions:-

What China's transformation means for business, markets and the new world order

What direction is China's development taking ?

Will China emerge as a world power, and if so when ?

What do we need to know in order to do business / invest in China ?

The book is 277 pages in length, plus tables and figures,
and was published by Financial Times Prentice Hall in 2003.

China is rapidly becoming the world's next economic giant: by some estimates, the Chinese economy could overtake the US by 2030. Is this truly likely? Or will internal political and cultural obstacles lead the Chinese market economy to fail, causing massive losses for unwary investors?

In China: The Race to Market, a leading expert in assessing investment risks in China offers a comprehensive briefing on what to expect--and what to watch out for. Jonathan Story covers all the forces shaping China's future, offering essential historical and economic context, and showing investors how to shape strategies that maximize opportunity and minimize risk.

He addresses a wide range of issues, including:the impact of China's entry into the World Trade Organization; the state-market relationship; the outlook for internal reform and transparency; brand-new rules permitting majority foreign ownership; Sino-American relations, and much more. He also drills down to key industries - including telecommunications, finance, and the automotive industry - showing how these industries are evolving from the viewpoint of Western companies, Chinese competitors, and government authorities alike.

From start to finish, China: The Race to Market offers intelligent solutions for Western business people seekinglong-term success in China's complex and fast-changing environment.
