As a country rich in mineral resources, contemporary China remains surprisingly overlooked in the research about the much debated ' resource curse' . This is the first full-length study to examine the distinctive effects of mineral resources on the state, capital and labour and their interrelations in China. Jing Vivian Zhan draws on a wealth of empirical evidence, both qualitative and quantitative. Taking a subnational approach, she zooms in on local situations and demonstrates how mineral resources affect local governance and economic as well as human development. Characterizing mining industries as pro-capital and anti-labour, this study also highlights the redistributive roles that the state can play to redress the imbalance. It reveals the Chinese state' s strategies to contain the resource curse and also pinpoints some pitfalls of the China model, which offer important policy implications for China and other resource-rich countries.
Jing Vivian Zhan is Associate Professor in the Department of Government & Public Administration at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She specializes in comparative political economy, contemporary Chinese politics, intergovernmental relations, local governance and development studies.
