In fact it goes back to the late 1970s when the country's undertook a course correction that set it on the path of economic reform and opened the door to China. What is new is the comparative change in directionality. While inward internationalization is still proceeding (China is still considering itself a developing country), the outward dimension has been garnering more attention of late. Indeed, the focus has been on various aspects of China's overseas investments, where they are going, why and in what form? While these are important questions and relevant issues to look at, an equally important dimension gets overlooked - important because the misperceptions derived from this oversight always find their way into analysis, discussion and assessment over the appeal and implications of Chinese investments abroad. The dimension in question involves the institutional and interactional patterns of China's evolving domestic political economy. The aim of this study, then, is to inject a long overdue contextual look at the evolutionary nature of China's political economy. Specifically, it will focus on how the political economy space has changed since the late 1970s in the aftermath of reform (from centralization of authority to decentralization of decision-making) - thus debunking the central government-centric perception that still slips into many analyses. At the same time, it will show that ownership and control of enterprises going abroad is not limited to the state, but we also see different structures engaging in outward internationalization, ranging from enterprises with absolute, relative, or no state control.Finally, it will look at the implications of such internationalization, specifically how it has already and will continue to affect the institutional and interactional space of China's political economy. Particular attention will be devoted to the effect of nascent VC and overseas listing trends. The aim, as such, then is to offer a contextualized assessment of where these internationalizing enterprises are coming from, so as to avoid having their ambitions curtailed by faulty, outdated misperceptions. There is more to China's internationalizing enterprises than their simplistic depiction as "corporate entities of a Communist dictatorship." 2008-04-28 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1208961224 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1208961224 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
