What are the considerations of the government in determining regulatory reform with respect to China's international air transport sector? What are the driving forces that facilitate to shape its international air transport policy? Is it the international environment or domestic considerations that influence China's international air transport policymaking? By reviewing China's international air-transport policymaking process to identify the factors that affect the decision-making process, Zhang and O'Connell establish to what degree the factors stem from the international environment, domestic considerations, or result from institutional and individual behaviour. They discuss, examine and analyse these factors to determine how they interact with each other and have had an impact on the policymakers, leading to China's policy output. How the policy has evolved over the years is considered in depth, to establish whether these factors are changing and to determine which factors have played and are still playing critical roles in the policymaking process. The book makes recommendations to governments, industry organisations and other stakeholders regarding best practice for the benefit of the industry and the global community as a whole. Its ultimate objective is to further the understanding of China's international trade policymaking process and shed light on this prominent economic power's approach towards liberalisation as well as its international behaviour.
