Intellectual Property & Piracy |
| To Steal A Book is an Elegant
Offense, William P. Alford (Stanford University Press, 1995)
- excellent book discussing IP piracy from the Chinese as well
as Western perspective. Fairly easy to read. |

Mertha (Cornell University Press, 2005) - comprehensive analysis
of the problems in enforcing intellectual property rights in
China. Provides detailed explanation of the Chinese legal
enforcement system and U.S. pressure on China to improve
intellectual property protection. Fairly complex reading. |
| Framing Piracy: Globalization

Shujen Wang (Rowan & Littlefield Publishers, 2003) - discusses
piracy of movies in China & includes lots of data on lost
revenues, etc. |
| Intellectual Property and
Doing Business in China, Deli Yang (Elsevier Science Ltd.,
2003) - overview of the IP system in China; focuses on Chinese
legal system and enforcement problems. Fairly complex reading. |
| WTO,
Internationalization & The Intellectual Property Rights Regime
in China, Kong Qingjiang (Marshall Cavendish International,
2005) - discusses China’s IP development in connection with its
obligations under World Trade Organization treaties. Fairly
complex reading. |
| Poor People’s Knowledge:
Promoting Intellectual Property in Developing Countries, J.
Michael Finger & Philip Schuler, eds. (Oxford University Press,
2004) - Uses case studies to illustrate how IP can benefit
developing countries. |
| Intellectual Property Rights
in the Global Economy, Keith E. Maskus (Institute for
International Economics, 2000) - Although not limited to China,
discusses economic effects of IP. |
|
| Non-Intellectual Property
Books |
| China, Inc.: How the Rise of
the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World,
Ted C. Fishman (Scriber, 2005) - discusses China’s rapid rise as
a world superpower; Has a chapters on piracy and "The China
Price." Very readable. |
| Mr. China, Tim Clissold

in China and the differences between the U.S. and Chinese
business and social cultures. |
| Asian Eclipse: Exposing the
Dark Side of Doing Business in Asia, Michael Backman (John
Wiley & Sons, 2001) - Focuses on the risks & challenges of doing
business in various Asian countries including China. Discusses
problems of guanxi (connections), corruption & piracy. |
| A Traveller's History of
China, Stephen G. Haw (Interlink Books, 2003) - From
prehistoric beginnings over 4000 years ago to the dramatic
changes of the 1900s and China's emergence as an economic
superpower at the beginning of the 21st century. |
| A Short History of Asia,
Colin Mason (Palgrave, 2000) - Very readable overview of history
from the Stone Age to the present. Includes chapters on China. |
| The Legal System of the
People's Republic of China in a Nutshell, Daniel C.K. Chow
(West 2003) - Covers the structure of the Chinese government,
the legal system, human rights, and main areas of law, focusing
on foreign investment and intellectual property. |
| China's Long March Toward
Rule of Law, Randall Peerenboom (Cambridge University Press,
2002) - Examines the transition of China's legal system to a
semi-democratic system. |
| I also recommend novels by James
Clavell which, although novels, provide very vivid and largely
accurate portrayal of Hong Kong (Taipan & Noble House)
and Japan (Shogun). |
