Despite both being developing countries, China and India have markedly contrasting patterns in their use and targeting of antidumping (AD) measures. We explore the factors driving AD use by these two countries, considering in turn macroeconomic, strategic and other determinants. We find more regular or systematic features of AD use by China, while India displays a less systematic pattern of AD use. Economic growth, AD club effect and free trade agreement participation are shown to constrain AD use by China. Compared to India, AD use by China is also more sensitive across industries. Furthermore, China targets developed countries more than developing countries, while India is less discriminating with respect to the country type it targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many developing countries are going through a stretch of market reforms and liberalization in their economic relations with the rest of the world, and yet few of them have advanced anywhere near China in this field. The reasons are very likely in the way they are reforming their economies and in how far they are going in giving consideration to the local and outside environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines five issues: 1) Recent performance of developing countries in terms of growth, investment and integration with the world economy; 2) The impact of the crisis on these economies; 3) The response of policy makers in these economies to mitigate the adverse impact, in particular, the nature of the stimulus packages implemented in these economies; 4) The role developing countries can play in the recovery of the world economy; and 5) The role of China in the recovery, and, in particular, how to deal with the bilateral imbalance between the US and China. Special attention is paid to the behaviour of the economies of the developing country members of the G20 (DG20).1 Finally, the paper discusses what the crisis has revealed about the interests of Russia, India and China in the world economy and consequently a possible strategy for the G20 which would serve their interests.

This article discusses the relationship between capitalist and socialist approaches to the globalization and emerging markets. The socialist approach, which is related to Chinese foreign economic relations, is contrasted with capitalism, which is represented by the U.S. and neoliberal institutions such as the International Monetary Fund. Neoliberal institutions are presented as an institutional cover for the exploitation of developing countries. This approach is contrasted with the Chinese economic relationship with developing countries in Africa. The distinction between the behavior of the Chinese and the U.S. government in their relations with international organizations such as the World Trade Organization and the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference is also noted.

By reviewing changes in relationships during the past 50 years among cities in the Yangtze River Delta region of China, the author explores underlying forces affecting the relationship between a service center (Shanghai) and manufacturing bases (cities in the region surrounding Shanghai). Key internal factors, such as the development stage of cities and the government's promotion policies, together with external factors, including national politics and policy shifts and the strategy of foreign direct investment, are found to be influential in the dynamic relationship. Suggestions based on the Chinese case are offered for a regional alliance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
