Abstract

China's fourth generation of leaders have re-focused the political agenda away from purely growth considerations to broadly defined developmental issues - primarily driven by concerns about the political implications of growing inequality. However, Shaun Breslin suggests that central leaders may not have the agency to direct economic activity in a way that will allow developmental promises to be achieved.
