This book offers a balanced assessment of the dynamics and consequences of the decentralization of power and resources in post- Mao China. The author argues that decentralization has increased tensions amongst ethnic groups and unleashed much competition and emulation among local governments. This book is an authoritative study of an issue that will remain highly visible on China's political agenda for the forseeable future.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In his Beyond Beijing, Dali Yang convincingly demonstrates the truth of three large conclusions about China: (1) China's overall economic strategy, while more market-driven than in Maoist-times, remains highly political. (2) Regional differences in prosperity are wide and will get wider. And (3) although poor regions are heavily populated, without democracy thay are deprived of a voice in national decisions.
