A decade of reform

the long version

In 1995, and at the request of the Chinese government, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) assembled a team of experts to assess the reforms to China's S&T sector - reforms that began in 1985 as an initiative of the State Science and Technology Commission (SSTC) of China. A Decade of Reform presents the findings of this ground-breaking mission, the first-ever external examination of societal reform in China.
