Overview:
This lecture will address the changes China has undergone in the last thirty years, looking closely at the role of military industries in Guangdong province as the country has made the transition to a civilian, market-oriented economy in comparison with another post-Communist nation, Russia, and one that has yet to commit to a post-communist political economy, North Korea.
Speaker Biography:
