"The Fundamental Dynamic Effect on Reform and Opening in China is the seventh volume of the series China in the World. The year 2018 marks the fortieth year of China's reform and opening. China's reform and opening has involved many areas. This volume focuses on reform and opening's dynamic mechanisms, but it also touches on how to look at some of the problems that these dynamic mechanisms face today. The articles in this volume explore the driving force of China's reform and opening up from the perspective of institutional changes, such as the political economy of globalization and China's options in response to globalization's retrogression and the (re)construction of world order. What are the strategies for upgrading the competitiveness of an emerging major power? Why does world need a new concept of openness? What are the four major challenges for the world economy? How do Chinese scholars think in an "Anti-Globalization" environment?"-- Provided by publisher.
