The long run trajectory and present turmoil of Chinese economy remains a puzzle for most social sciences. It is specially so for economists. Some view  China as a typical State led economy, but then how to explain such long term good performance, far better than those of a soviet type regime? Others see this country as a successful example of liberation of market forces but the absence of any major crisis then becomes a mystery.A possible way out of this dilemma might be to have a closer look at the specific configuration of basic social relations in China and to be ready to detect some specificities that shape economic activity, the growth regime and economic policies. Institutions might matter and they have changed via a series of successive reforms. Growth, stability and crises are the outcome of this social construction.The editors would be pleased if Revue de la régulation/Regulation review could be the melting pot where researchers from various disciplines, paradigms and geographical origins discuss and confront their results.Submissions information:Deadline: Tuesday 31 May 2016Full text of the callCoordinators: Robert Boyer (r.boyer2@orange.fr) and Sebastien Lechevalier (lechevalier@ehess.fr)
