Summary "Based on the findings of the empirical chapters, Chapter 6 recapitulates the impacts that rich mineral resources generate on the state-capital-labor triad in China. It analyzes in detail the Chinese state's coping strategies to mitigate the resource curse at local levels. Moreover, it explains why the Chinese state is able and willing to take the observed strategies to contain the resource curse. The key lies in the Chinese Communist Party-state's strong capacity to penetrate into the economy and the society and also in its top-down monitoring and tight control of the local agents. In the end, this chapter critically evaluates the successes and pitfalls of the China model of resource management"-- Provided by publisher
