Corporate Governance in China The Role of Institutional Investors YUAN Rongli (Renmin University of China)
Enrich Professional Publishing
A Multifaceted Study of the Role of Financial Institutions in the Governance of China’s Listed Companies The growing share of institutional investors in the capital market has increasingly brought their role in corporate governance to the fore of academic discourse. While China is no exception in this booming trend, Chinese academia has not given the issue equal attention. Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors contextualizes the assessment of the monitoring function of institutional investors in the Chinese economy using mixed research methods including interviews, secondary data analysis, and a case study.

Corporate Governance in China: The Role of Institutional Investors attempts to verify the validity of established agency theory and findings on corporate governance to China.

Her study, apart from confirming the important role of these financial institution investors, identifies the factors that enhance and limit this role and the main agency problem in China’s corporate governance.

CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS
Enrich Professional Publishing
Cooling China’s Housing Bubble: Policies for Sustainable Growth, a substantive study funded by the China Fiscal and Financial Policy Research Institute of the Renmin University of China, tackles the knotty problem of housing market development from a policy perspective. In China, policymakers have been grappling with the dilemma between escalating home prices, which have fed fears of a housing bubble burst, and the possible economy-dampening consequences of regulatory measures. This raises the question that prompted the current study: How can China achieve a soft landing for its property market?

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Enrich Professional Publishing
China has firmly implemented its “going out” strategy for more than 10 years. In this time, people have witnessed Chinese enterprises’ continuously booming outward FDI activities. However, behind this glorious picture, there are still some doubts such as: What are the motives of Chinese enterprises’ outward FDI activities? In what ways can Chinese transnational companies get benefits under international vertical specialization? This book can provide answers to these questions by:
Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Theoretical Review of the GVC and Technology Acquisition through Outward FDI Chapter 3 China's Status in the GVC: Evidence from the Manufacturing Industry Chapter 4 The Development and Characteristics of China's Outward FDI Activities Chapter 5 The Application of General Equilibrium Analysis in China’s Outward FDI and Upgrading in the GVC Chapter 6 Mechanism for China’s Upgrading in the GVC through Outward FDI Chapter 7
Statistical and Empirical Analyses of China’s Technology-Sourcing Outward FDI and Its Entry Modes
Chapter 8 Statistical and Empirical Analyses of the Reverse Technology Spillovers of Outward FDI on China Chapter 9 China’s Outward FDI and Upgrading in GVCs: Evidence from the Automotive and IT Industries
BOOK REVIEW This is a timely book in light of the fact that the annual value of China’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), which for all practical purposes had begun only in the early 2000s, is now just about matching the value of the inflow of FDI into China. --Paul Marer, Ph.D., Professor of International Business, Central European University Business School

The History and Spirit of Chinese Art (2-Volume Set) ZHANG Fa (Renmin University of China) Art is always a product of cultural evolution, and The History and Spirit of Chinese Art looks at this universal process as it unfolded in ancient China. With “mountainwater” landscape paintings, works of classical Chinese calligraphy, and blue and white porcelain widely displayed in museums and fetching high prices in auction houses worldwide, Chinese art is no longer foreign to the Western world. However, to many, the making of such cultural artefacts remains an enigmatic process. Indeed, Chinese art, the product of such an old civilization, was shaped by an ongoing process of evolution along the ebb and flow of China’s history as a nation. In The History and Spirit of Chinese Art , aesthetics expert Zhang Fa deciphers the philosophies and thoughts that have defined Chinese art since the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, moving through the dynastic landmarks of artistic development with discussions of numerous art forms including paintings, architecture, dance and music, calligraphy, and literature.

The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature (2-Volume Set) XIE Mian (Peking University)
Explores the Metamorphosis of Chinese Literature in the Modern Era The 20th century was an era of tremendous changes for Chinese society, and these changes shaped the development of Chinese literature as revealed in The Ideological Transformation of 20th Century Chinese Literature . Rulers in the late-Qing dynasty era were subjected to unwilling reforms which saw the abolition of the “eight-legged” essays and the imperial examination as these had notoriously restricted the thinking of the Chinese literati. Shortly after the fall of the Qing, leaders of the New Culture Movement started to promote vernacular literature, stressed the need for a reexamination of the ancient classics, and championed the popularization of Western values. After that, Chinese literature was taken on a completely different trajectory, not only in stylistic terms but also in ideological ones.
