In the 13th volume of the World Scientific Series on Contemporary China, contributors from all over the world discuss how science and technology have provided the foundation for this country's sudden economic growth and reveal how much of this expansion was funded by foreign investors. Editors Thomson (energy studies, National U. of Singapore) and Sigurdson (research policy, Stockholm School of Economics) have used academic papers presented at the 2004 conference for Globalisation and China's Development in Science and Technology, covering such topics as growth within China's semiconductor industry, regional variations in patenting and the impact of the high-tech sector on Chinese financial institutions. These papers are aimed at a broad range of students and policymakers in the fields of economics, science and technology. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
