Resumen
GOODMAN, David S. G.. Narratives of change: Culture and local economic development. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.5, pp.19-34. ISSN 1870-3569.
China's economic growth since the late 1970s challenges economic theory so strongly that cultural explanations are often sought. A prime difficulty in such approaches is the operationalisation of the concept of Chinese culture. Culture is more readily and usefully analysed at the local rather than the national level. Local culture has been demonstrated to be important to politics and the emergence of modern Chinese nationalism. The relationship between local culture and economic development is more complex. Local culture provides ideology and often organisation that supports entrepreneurship and the development of specifically local economic activity. Through local studies in three Chinese provinces - Shanxi, Qinghai and Hainan - it is argued that local culture is not only a significant factor of production but also helps explain the trajectory and organisation of local business.
