Contents:
Part I. Setting the stage -- Part II. State Policy, Firms, and Upgrading Outcomes -- Part III. The Integrated Circuit Industry -- Part IV. China in Comparative Perspective -- Conclusion: China's Economic Future and the Future Role of Hybrids.
Summary: The book's findings suggest that China's state and domestic market institutions are ineffective, whilst the hybrids promise an alternative way to avoid the middle-income trap. By documenting how variation in China's institutional terrain impacts technological development, the book also provides nuance to widespread yet mutually irreconcilable claims that China is either an emerging innovation power or a technological backwater. Looking beyond China, hybrid-led development has implications for new alternative economic development models and new ways to conceptualize contemporary capitalism that go beyond current domestic institution-centric approaches.
