China’S Trade Policy On International Air Transport Policy Goals Driving Forces And Impact | Business

This book is a political–economic analysis of China’s transformation to become a global aviation power. It aims to identify the driving forces that have shaped China’s ever-evolving international air transport policy direction and goals in the past four decades and further determines how and to what extent these driving forces have shaped China’s considerations and strategies when executing its policy goals through bilateral air services negotiations. The findings reveal that China’s international air transport policymaking has remained in the domain of the country’s aviation regulator which has enjoyed an exclusivity to exercise its power on the air transport sector. The book argues that China’s international air transport policy direction is in alignment with the country’s overall strategic mission and its goal is set to support the country’s endeavour to realise the “China dream.” It concludes that factors at all levels interact with each other with a far-reaching impact on the country’s policy direction and goal setting; however these factors are constrained by time and circumstances. The book is a must-read for a wide array of audiences including but not limited to scholars and industry professionals who have an interest in China’s political economy policymaking international trade government behaviour corporate political activities air transport aviation liberalisation and bilateral negotiations. |China’s Trade Policy on International Air Transport Policy Goals Driving Forces and Impact | Business
