policy windows ambiguity and commission entrepreneurship explaining the relaunch of the european union s Economic Reform agenda
Journal of European Public Policy, 2014Co-Authors: Paul Copeland, Scott JamesAbstract:This article explains the relaunch of the European Union's (EU) Economic Reform agenda in 2010. After repeated delays during 2009, the European Commission scaled back its initial plan for a revived social dimension and instead proposed a strengthened governance architecture of Economic surveillance. Using the multiple streams framework we argue that the new Europe 2020 strategy which emerged is a product of two overlapping policy windows which opened suddenly in the problem stream (the Greek sovereign debt crisis) and politics stream (shifting institutional dynamics). This created a window of opportunity for skilful policy entrepreneurs to ‘couple’ the three streams by reframing the existing Lisbon Strategy as the EU's exit strategy from the crisis. The article contributes to understanding policy change under conditions of ambiguity by demonstrating the causal significance of key temporal and ideational dynamics: the timing of policy windows; access to information signals; and the role of policy entrepren...

income distribution in urban china during the period of Economic Reform and globalization
The American Economic Review, 1999Co-Authors: Azizur Rahman Khan, Keith Griffin, Carl RiskinAbstract:The paper addresses three issues: (i) the effects of Economic Reform on the distribution of income in the urban areas of China, (ii) changes in the incidence of urban poverty and (iii) the role of government policy in accentuating urban poverty and inequality. The empirical analysis is based on two purpose designed national sample surveys conducted in 1988 and 1995. We show that urban inequality has increased sharply and that urban poverty, depending on the indicator used, either declined insignificantly or worsened significantly. Government policies were unequalizing.

Debating China’s Economic Reform
2020Co-Authors: He LiAbstract:Dramatic transformation has occurred in China since the Economic Reforms launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1978. It was under his leadership that China undertook the ambitious Economic Reforms that have transformed China’s economy from an Economic backwater into the second-largest economy in the world. But with the rapid growth has come new challenges: rampant corruption, increasing social unrest, rising levels of inequalities, the yearning for democracy, and the spread of ideas foreign and inimical to the perceived interests of the communist state. Although the outcome of the political transformation in China cannot be forecasted precisely, what has hitherto occurred is already significant enough to warrant a careful analysis of its dilemmas and dynamics.

Debating China’s Economic Reform: New Leftists vs. Liberals
Journal of Chinese Political Science, 2010Co-Authors: He LiAbstract:There have been heated debates on outcome and orientation of China’s Economic Reforms which started in the late 1970s. Though most of the previous studies on Chinese politics concentrate on the role of elites in policy-making, I argue that the intellectual discourse over policy have become increasingly salient in the post-Mao period. The paper focuses on the following research questions: How and under what circumstances did the New Left and liberals emerge in China? What are the major debates between the two? To what extent have the New Leftists and liberals affected the Economic Reforms and what change they might bring to the political climate?

Economic Reform and health lessons from china
The New England Journal of Medicine, 1996Co-Authors: William C HsiaoAbstract:Recent experience in China helps to answer a global question: Does Economic development necessarily improve health status, nutrition, and health care? In the late 1950s, when China was a very poor nation, it developed an innovative system of medical care. Each community or town organized funds from the government, households, and communes to finance village health stations and “barefoot doctors” to deliver preventive and basic health services to more than 90 percent of the population.1 Between 1952 and 1982, China reduced the rate of infant mortality from 250 to 40 deaths per 1000 live births, decreased the prevalence of malaria . . .
