The power of local governments in China is a really big deal in areas like climate policy, but I've never seen a good analysis (not that I've looked hard). Even basic questions like: can the central government sack provincial leaders (or, more importantly, local administrations en masse ) if they fail to follow the central line. If so, how are the replacements selected.
Kacie Miura is my professor and she is fantastic. She teaches at USD (University of San Diego), not UCSD (University of California, San Diego). It is a very easy mistake to make
As much as I enjoyed Farrell and Newman’s as well as Miller’s books, I think a proper contextualisation of economic statecraft is needed to understand it - and Nicholas Mulder’s ‘The Economic Weapon’ is an unsung hero in this regard.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Your work has been deeply influential on me. This really means a lot to me.
