China 2020: How Western Business Can—and Should—influence Social and Political Change in the Coming Decade

In his 2000 Rights in China, Santoro (business ethics, Rutgers U.) advocated admitting China into the World Trade Organization. Here he tests whether events and trends over the subsequent decade support the arguments he made at the time. He discusses such aspects as the role of foreign business in China's uncertain path to democracy and human rights, pragmatic and ideological approaches to solving China's sweatshop problem, the need for safe trade in drugs and other manufactured Chinese products, and the two Chinas of 2020.
