China has its Great Wall. Cambodia has Angkor Wat. Indonesia has Borobudur. Myanmar has Bagan, a city of temples on the banks of the Ayerawaddy River. Throughout much of its history, Burma has seen conflict and Bagan (formerly Pagan) has been fought over, conquered and suffered earthquakes, but has somehow survived. Poised serenely by the Ayerawaddy, Bagan has thousands of temples, thousands of ruins and a mysterious past. Today it is one of the wonders of Asia. Barry Broman has captured the timeless nature of Bagan in a series of 80 colour photographs taken during the last decade. Here we see the old restored to new; glimpses of the grandeur and delicacy of buildings returning to the earth; the mammoth temples beloved of Burma's kings; and the day to day life of farmers and artists, much as it has been during the preceding one thousand years.

China's vast population contains a large number of disadvantaged or minority groups. This unique book outlines what legal protection each minority group receives under Chinese law, together with a helpful comparative study on Chinese national and regional laws. Ground-breaking and detailed, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the various disparate aspects of minority rights protection in China, such as current anti-discrimination policy, the implementation of international standards for minority protection, and domestic legal protection for non-Chinese and ethnic minority groups.

Since the process of opening-up began, China has followed a unique path that's combined progressive economic policies with staying true to its socialist principles. Modern history demonstrates that achieving economic growth within the parameters of a one-party socialist state is rarely attainable, yet China has been able to achieve this on a vast scale. This major new two-volume work draws on the expertise of China's leading scholars to show the reasons behind this success. Editor Zhao Jianying has gathered together material from China's leading thinkers and academics on exactly how China has been able to forge this truly unique model. These include political leaders, government advisers, and famous scholars. In addition, Zhao Jianying has hand-picked excerpts from key speeches made by China's leaders, both current and former, to help set the scene. Readers will learn how social reforms have overlapped with economic reforms, alongside an awareness of the philosophical elements of contemporary Chinese culture to help create the China we see today. The writers all are famous Chinese policy makers and scholars. Combined, the two volumes [Volume 1 - ISBN 978 1 84464 271 7 / Volume 2 - 978 1 84464 272 4] make for a comprehensive resource concerning the interpretation and explanation for examining the China Path, the China Model, and China's modern experience. Each volume is a helpful reference book that includes general comments, concepts, character analyses, politics, economics, cultural impacts, comparative discussions, and interviews.

Through a series of research reports, this book discusses the operational status of Chinese enterprises with foreign investment. Since China's period of economic reform and openness, the country has experienced more than 30 years of development, with hundreds of thousands of foreign-invested enterprises being established in various parts of the country. Their operational statuses are of interest not only to governments and research institutes, but also to foreign investors and enterprises. Drawing from a massive collection of published literature and statistics, the book - which is printed as an English-Chinese bilingual text - has collected data and information from relevant departments and local governments. The research also explores trends in the sustainable development of China's continued utilization of foreign investment, as well as how to improve related national foreign policies.

<p>Using stories and interesting examples, this book depicts the process of the internationalization of the main global currencies. After that, it systematically analyzes the future pattern of the internalization of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (RMB), and its possible influence on world trade and global finance. The book will be useful in understanding the future of the RMB, as well as its process of becoming a global currency. With the boom of China's economy, the RMB is becoming a regional currency gradually, though still at a low level. Some predict that it will even change into a global currency. But, this process cannot be easy. There are many financial problems for the government and private sectors to deal with. The book provides a systematic analysis of the problems, especially those that emerged after the global financial crisis.</p>
