Transparency ; The Theory and Reality in the Case of China

Elgsæther, Edin (2005)
Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University
Abstract
This study examines the aspect of transparency within policies in China. I argue that even though theoretically transparency is seen as a requirement in order to attract foreign businesses and foreign direct investments (FDI) it is hardly so in the case of China. Transparency in the policy making process of the economic development of China has been and are still very much absent. Still China has so far not had much problem to attract foreign businesses and FDI's. The findings found in this study suggest that the possibility of economic profit overshadows the international communities demand and the foreign businesses and FDI need for transparency in policy making in China.
