Features: This book comprehensively reflects the new advancements in development economics at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, encompassing new theories and introducing fresh development experiences. It covers the new progress in economic development of developing countries while closely linking with the practical realities of China's reform and opening-up. It serves as a textbook that meets the needs of economics majors in the new century. The features of the book are as follows:
1. Comprehensively reflects the new developments in development economics. In this ever-changing world, reflecting the forefront of the discipline of development economics is of great significance.

The economic development of China since its reform and opening-up has added countless fresh examples and new empirical experiences to development economics.
