CHINA 2020: HOW WESTERN BUSINESS CAN—AND SHOULD—INFLUENCE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CHANGE IN THE COMING DECADE
Book ID/图书代码： 03360008B24905
English Summary/英文概要： Chinese society is plagued by many problems that have a direct impact on its current and future business and political environment-worker rights, product safety, Internet freedom, and the rule of law. Drawing on knowledge gained through personal interviews, documentary sources, and almost two decades of visits to China, Michael A. Santoro offers a clear-eyed view of the various internal forces-such as regionalism, corruption, and growing inequality-that will determine the direction and pace of economic, social, and political change. Of special interest is Santoro’s assessment of the role of multinational corporations in fostering or undermining social and political progress. Santoro offers a fresh and innovative way of thinking about two questions that have preoccupied Western observers for decades. What will be the effect of economic reform and prosperity on political reform? How can companies operate with moral integrity and ethics in China? In China 2020, Santoro unifies these hitherto separate questions and demonstrates that moral integrity (or lack of it) by Western business will have a profound impact on whether economic privatization and growth usher in greater democracy and respect for human rights.
China 2020 also offers a novel vision of China’s future economic and political development. Santoro rejects the conventional view that China will muddle through the next decade with incremental social and political changes. Instead he argues that China will follow one or two widely divergent potential outcomes. It might continue to progress steadily toward greater prosperity, democracy, and respect for human rights, but it is also highly likely that China will instead fall backward economically and into an ever more authoritarian regime. The next decade will be one of the most important in the history of China, and, owing to China’s global impact, the history of the modern world. China 2020 describes various tectonic social and political battles going on within China. The outcomes of these struggles will depend on a number of powerful indigenous forces as well as the decisions and actions of individual Chinese citizens. Santoro strongly believes that Western businesses can-and should-influence these developments.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 经济改造与日益繁荣对政治上的改革会产生何等影响？
在中国运营的公司怎样将正确的道德观念融入日常工作中？
过去的十年里，这两个问题始终是西方舆论所关注的焦点。鉴于中国在全球范围内的巨大影响，其未来十年的进程对自身发展的历史，甚至整个世界的格局步调都起到不容忽视的重要作用。
利用个人采访和记录片的所得资源，拥有二十年访问中国的经历，作者Michael A.Santoro在本书中剖析了各种决定中国经济、社会、政治发展方向的内在因素。通过上述现象的描述和解答，评估多国（跨国）公司对社会政治发展造成的两面性影响，反映西方企业对私有制经济、民主思想和尊重人权等方面产生的影响，意义深远，耐人寻味。
另一方面，作者摆脱传统观念束缚与社会舆论压力推测了未来中国经济政治的发展情形，憧憬着中国向更繁荣稳定、民主自立、重视人权的光明大道靠近；相反的，也预想中国成为一个独裁主义国家的可能性。描绘出国内存在的各种社会政治间的斗争，这些斗争的后果往往取决于强大的本土势力，以及中国公民采取的决策和行动，而且，作者也深深相信西方企业是能够对这些发展起到一定的促进和影响作用的.(ZY)
