Tiger by the Tail

de Mark A. Groombridge, Claude E. Barfield

"In this book Mark Groombridge and Claude Barfield focus on fundamental economic issues that need resolution before China can become a respected member of the WTO. The events of the spring of 1999 bolster their argument that the real challenges involve China's "transparency" problem: the need to create a legal and administrative apparatus to facilitate the resolution of international commercial disputes. Noble intentions and high-sounding promises will not ensure successful Chinese membership in the WTO - if they are not bolstered by essential domestic reforms in China."--BOOK JACKET.
