Headlines such as “the giant awakes” have been in common usage for some time.1 European businesses have come to realise that China cannot be ignored. Their legal advisers should follow suit. This explains the motivation for this article.

The Cultural Revolution

Since the founding of The People's Republic of China, research on the world economy has been developed on an unprecedented scale, although not without setbacks. The Cultural Revolution and the activities of the “ gang of four ” seriously affected such research and virtually brought it to a halt for 10 years. However, the removal of the “ gang of four ” has meant that work on the world economy has revived and reached a completely new stage of development.

The creation of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) was one of the lasts movements that confirmed the new found place of People’s Republic of China not only as major exporter, but as a new pillar of the world economy. This instalment comes at a time where Asia and other powers come to terms not only of trove of opportunity out of incredibly robust economic ties, but the anxiousness from facing a new found rival for other powers, or the revival of old disputes in the eyes of neighbours. Beijing has ensured that its dominance upon the bank’s structure and decisions since this bodies often need a major power as guarantor of its functionality. Plus, other similar institutions have been relatively successful but no immune to criticisms and risks like decision-making deadlock out of diverging interests from constituents. To prevent this, the AIIB must be able to produce tangible results, grant a membership worthy of being universal, develop a set of core specific policies and prove to be able to adapt in wake of a traumatic situation. Despite of this, the bank has been in existence for little over a year and the fulfillment of the prior challenges remains to be seen.

Heuristic Devices

Professor Nathan's pungent essay raises important issues for the politics of development in general and for drawing comparative conclusions from the Chinese case in particular. His cleansing scepticism demolishes some positions which may be held by authors in the China field and reminds others that the unstated assumptions in their models need better articulation. However he goes too far. What needs to be re-established is that clear and modest formulations of short-term recurrence, interdependence among policies, and two-sided policy disagreement are not avoidable errors but indispensable heuristic devices in the conceptual repertoire of China watchers. In fact it would be a great disservice to stùdies of contemporary China and to comparative study of the Chinese case if Professor Nathan were allowed to succeed in his attempt to identify all such analyses with his reductio ad absurdum of some of them. Let us try to rescue the possibility of constructive social science modelling of the three principal issues Professor Nathan raises.

Telecommunications networks of India and the People’s Republic of China are among the largest in the world. The two economies have a number of areas for broadband use ripe for exploration. Broadband networks in some regions in these two economies are even more developed than in some parts of the industrialized world. There are, however, a number of reasons to believe that these two countries may exhibit distinct and varied patterns of broadband diffusion. This chapter compares and contrasts the diffusion patterns of broadband technology in the two economies. We examine factors driving broadband diffusion in the two economies in three major categories: demand and cost conditions, industry structure, and export conditions.

Communist Movement

At the peak of the Cultural Revolution, China’s army initiated confrontations and battles with Soviet troops along their contested border. Schism within the world communist movement now amounted to warfare among established communist states. Under these conditions, US-Soviet détente and the opening to China by the Nixon administration were made possible by skilled diplomacy and the fact that both the USSR and the People’s Republic of China came to view themselves each as closer to the United States in defending their national interests than they were to each other. Pragmatism prevailed over proletarian internationalism.

This paper explores the lives of a number of Tibetan mountaineering women who have risen to celebrity by climbing the highest peaks in the world. It shows how they negotiated their gender and ethnic identity within the highly complex context of modern Tibetan mountaineering in the People’s Republic of China. Even though they use mountaineering as a means for emancipation, these Tibetan women enact gender roles in ways that are more complicated than the simple binary opposition between ‘old society’ and ‘new society’, reflected in Chinese modernisation narratives, suggests.
