Extract

  1. 1. The changing realities of the economy.

  2. 2. The possibilities for assessing and analysing these realities.

  3. 3. The background, training and chosen methodologies of those working in this field.

  4. 4. The role of The China Quarterly in selecting and encouraging particular types of work.
