Abstract "China and Global Capitalism is a concise historical and conceptual analysis of China's position in the world. It is written from the perspective of a reconstructed Marxist conception of history. Lin Chun clarifies the evolving relationship between China and global capitalism, past, present, and possible future. Reviewing relevant debates, she offers a critical reflection on received knowledge about China and the resulting expectations and recommendations for development, all largely dependent on the standardization of capitalist trajectories. Against the historical and international background of China's revolutionary, socialist, and post-socialist transformations, this study assesses the crises of a national political economy increasingly integrated into the global market. It asks whether a renewed Chinese social model is still possible as an alternative with potentially universal implications to the eco-social impasse of standard modernization. Rejecting economically or culturally deterministic approaches, the main thesis is anchored in an argument for the centrality of transformative politics"-- Provided by publisher.
