The Local China Project: An Introduction

China’s size and scale are such that by both policy design and practice domestic social, political, and economic development are highly localised. The identification of ‘local’ China emphasises the importance of the variety of experience across China, within city regions, counties, cities, towns and villages, and in everyday life. Thus, research and expertise that understands the many dimensions of China’s local development is essential for interpreting and managing China’s global impact in politics and economics.

This webinar aimed at introducting the importance of the "local" in China through concrete case studies : from entrepreneurship to the development of China medicine, from neighborhood governance to the future of local development.

• Yingjie Guo, The Local Future
• Beibei Tang, Urban Neighbourhood Governance
• Minglu Chen, Local States and Traditional Chinese Medicine
• David Goodman, The origins of local entrepreneurs

Chair and discussant:
