This article examines the global consequences flowing from contemporary China's distinctive blend of ancient traditions and modern ambitions. Beginning with Deng Xiaoping's revolutionary reforms, this discussion on the evolution of de facto federalism in China focuses on the dynamic interactions between the country's central, provincial and local governments. At each level, enterprising and often corrupt administrators blur the lines between business and government in search of political fame. These "economic warlords" consistently place local interests above central government mandates and advance their careers only through the relentless, unchecked growth which now drives the world economy. This article focuses on the international legal implications of Chinese localism, and how de facto federalism enables a regulatory culture where low-level officials methodically circumvent intellectual property rights, ignore product safety standards, and inflict widespread environmental degradation. After centuries of isolation, an intense desire to open China up to the rest of the world caused the central government to trade substantial control over its provinces for rapid industrialization. Accordingly, Beijing now finds itself increasingly powerless to enforce its own treaties, laws and regulations. The end result, however, is no longer confined to the Mainland as counterfeit and defective goods make their way into foreign markets. This article seeks to provide background into how the unique political, economic and cultural aspects of China's long history continue to guide its enigmatic interaction with the outside world, and how the localized interests of zealous bureaucrats increasingly impact international legal arrangements.

This article intends to develop a thesis of “legal federalism, with the Chinese style” and test it with an empirical study on China's labor law. It makes the following argument: (1) subnational governments in China have a quite high level of autonomy in exercising legal powers (including legislative and judicial powers) and such legal autonomy is institutionally guaranteed to the extent that these governments (in particular provincial-level governments) appear to be a quasi-legal sovereignty, which makes China a system of legal federalism; (2) legal federalism in China is not only de facto but also de jure in a sense. Not only can such a system of legal federalism be empirically proved, but also it has significant impacts on daily protection of legal rights in different localities.

This book is a collection of 13 articles which grew out if a workshop on federalism and democratisation in Asia. But, unlike a great many of the publications which have their origins in conferences, this volume has a clear theme running through its contributions, almost all of which are excellent. . . The individual country studies. . . are highly informative, most making imaginative use of the country s history and current politics to illustrate the theme of the tension between nationalising centralisation and pressures for regional decentralisation. Many of these chapters have innovative conclusions about ways in which this tension can be understood. . . this is a serious book, very well produced and indexed. Its chapters are well written with useful notes and lists of references. The volume will be of great interest to specialists on the countries concerned, and has much to offer for anyone with an interest in federalism and the relationship between regionalism and democratisation. Campbell Sharman, The Australian Journal of Public Administration Federalism in Asia provides a valuable resource, both for scholars of Asia in general and for political theorists of federalism. In an academic climate where edited volumes are often assumed to be a lightweight option, Federalism in Asia demonstrates how rewarding this form of publication can be. Graham K. Brown, Political Studies Review Until now there have been few attempts to examine the different models of federalism appropriate in Asia, let alone to trace the extent to which these different perspectives are compatible, converging, or mutually influencing each other. This book redresses the balance by demonstrating the varieties of Asian federalism. Federalism in Asia explores the range of theoretical perspectives that shape debates over federalism in general, and over territorial, multinational, hybrid, and asymmetric federalism in particular relation to Asia. The contributors share their understanding of how federal or quasi-federal institutions manage ethnic conflicts and accommodate differences, how democratization facilitates the development of federalism and how federalism facilitates or inhibits democratization in Asia. Their conclusion is that hybrid federalism or quasi-federalism is more prevalent in some Asian countries than others; and the need and potential for greater federalism in more Asian countries makes this sortie into this area worthwhile. While federalism is relevant to Asia, the working pattern of Asian federalism does not necessarily follow a Western style. Hybrid federal institutional design can be seen as an Asian strategy of managing ethnic conflicts through federal arrangements. This unique book will be of great interest to a wide range of scholars and researchers who work on issues of federalism, political economy, public policy, ethnic relations, cultural diversity and democratization in the Asian region. Policymakers and activists dealing with issues of minority rights and ethnic conflict in the region, government officials and NGOs within Asia, and officials in international agencies and organizations will also find much to engage them.

While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.
