Research Abstract |
Professor Solinger's field of specialization is Chinese politics with a concentration on political economy. In particular, she has focused on the political decisionmaking and social and political reactions to policy about economic matters. She has written on regional policy and regionalism in China; the treatment of minority nationalites; the politics of socialist commerce, the treatment of the private sector under socialism in China, the politics of inflation control, and the politics of economic reform. She has also published more comparative studies, including industrial policy in China, with comparative reference to similar policy in Japan and France, and unemployment, protest and welfare in China, France and Mexico. One more project concerned the management of the transient peasant population in China. recent years on laid-off workers, poverty, and welfare reform. She has also published on transitions from one-party rule in Taiwan, Korea and Mexico and has written several pieces on projections about the democratization of China. Professor Solinger teaches courses on Chinese politics, introduction to comparative politics, East Asian politics, regime change in East Asia, and theories of the state. |
