Based on extensive original research, the book outlines how China's economic development has generated social and governance pressures, discusses the government's social, educational, and governance reforms, and highlights how China's development experiences, which differ from the Western economies with democratic political regimes, have drawn increasing attention from other countries in the developing world as an example to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'What a crucial book this is! Ka Ho Mok has brought China’s social policy, higher education and global strategy to the world. China’s governance, society and economy, which are immensely complex, will be seminal to the human future, as significant as the Euro-American countries and also different in important ways. Understanding the dynamism of China’s achievements, which began in massive poverty and continue to be subject to geopolitical containment, taking in both the general lessons and the specifically Chinese characteristics, is crucial to all of us. Professor Mok’s clear thinking and wide vision is in the tradition of the best scholarly-practical work.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimon Marginson,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Higher Education, University of Oxford and Director of the ESRC\/RE Centre for Global Higher Education, UK\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'We need to understand Global China’s many forms.
