Bio:
In addition to continuing my research on economic and social change in China, I am currently working on two other projects. The first is a project funded by the Ford Foundation involving a three-city study of corporate-community relations and the conditions under which corporations invest in urban communities. The second is an analysis of the effect of state statutory law and federal appellate court jurisdictions on the decisions and practices of U.S. corporations.
