内容简介 在线阅读本书
A compelling account of the rebirth of China′s greatest city. Earmarked by China′s leaders to again become an international business hub, Shanghai, in less than a decade, has blossomed from a depressed industrial town, forgotten by the outside world, into a shimmering metropolis filled with glass skyscrapers, modern factories, and thumping discotheques. Foreign investors are once again flocking to Shanghai, which is commonly seen as an up–and–coming rival to New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong as the world′s most important financial centers. But is it?
Is Shanghai, the capitalist Mecca of the Far East in the 1920s, re–emerging as the New York of Asia? The Whore of the Orient? The stomping ground of China′s artistic elite? China′s version of Silicon Valley? A tinderbox of social unrest as state–owned companies lay off workers by the hundreds of thousands?
Weaving insightful anecdotes with astute analysis, respected journalist Pamela Yatsko addresses these questions and many others to provide a vivid portrait of Shanghai, past and present. New Shanghai′s lively narrative, culled from interviews with Shanghainese at all levels of society, explores key aspects of contemporary Shanghai –– from finance, foreign business and state enterprise reform, to vice, culture and social change. New Shanghai takes us into the world of shady Chinese stock speculators, prosperous yuppies, distraught laid–off workers, determined foreign executives and alluring bar girls, giving texture to the tumult that has rocked urban China. By painting pictures of Shanghai today, New Shanghai offers readers a better understanding of Shanghai and China tomorrow.
作者简介 Pamela Yatsko was the
Far Eastern Economic Review’s first Shanghai correspondent and bureau chief since the Chinese Communist Revolution in 1949.
She lived in Shanghai with her husband from 1995 to 1998 before moving to Hong Kong and returning to the city frequently. An American from Massachusetts, she received her Bachelor’s Degree from Smith College in 1984 and her Master’s Degree specializing in China Studies and International Economics from the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in 1988.
Before joining the Review in 1994, she was the Managing Editor of Hong Kong–based
Business China, an Economist Group publication, worked as a freelance journalist in India, and wrote case studies focusing on global strategic alliances for Harvard Business School. She studied Mandarin in the 1980s in Taiwan and at the Hopkins Center in Nanjing, China. She and her husband currently live in Mill Valley, California.
编辑推荐 Nicholas Platt, President, Asia Society "An eyes-wide-open look at modern Shanghai, its past roots, as well as present achievements, hang-ups and shortcomings. Balanced, detailed, and carefully researched by a perceptive and expert journalist,
New Shanghai is essential background for any foreigner who needs to understand the challenges and opportunities of life and work in a China grappling with rapid change."
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, author of World Class "Pamela Yatsko is the best guide I can imagine to the New China emerging in the global information age. Seeing Shanghai through her sharp eyes is better than a personal tour, because she digs behind the scenes to find the meaning of the changes sweeping China, as well as the unfinished work still ahead for the cities shaping China's future.
New Shanghai is insightful, illuminating, comprehensive, and entertaining. This is a 'must read' for anyone interested in doing business in China and throughout Asia."
Sheila Melvin, Director, Shanghai Operations, the US-China Business Council "Shanghai's shimmering new skyline is as misleading as it is beguiling.
New Shanghai takes you behind the glitz and the glamor and into the lives of ordinary workers, the dealings of shady stock traders and the decisions of an efficient, but surprisingly conservative, bureaucracy. It is a book to be savored by anyone who has ever been to Shanghai, or even just dreamed of it."
Seth Faison, former Shanghai Bureau Chief, The New York Times "With a wide-ranging book that tackles business, politics and culture, Pamela Yatsko delivers what so many readers have been unable to find elsewhere: an engaging book that puts all the complex and contradictory elements of China into perspective. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what is going on in China today."
Huang Yasheng, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School "Pamela Yatsko provides a fascinating look at a city that illustrates so well the travails of China's past and the prospects of its future. In this book, Yatsko places her personal insights gained through years of covering Asia as a journalist in the context of the larger economic and political trends in the region. The research is meticulously done and the analysis is superb. I recommend it to China experts as well as to people who are new to the region."
EuroBusiness, March 2001 "
New Shanghai provides tremendous insight into the renaissance occurring in this incredible city and is a 'must read' for anyone interested in doing business in China and throughout Asia."
