Good Guanxi: Managing Government Relations in China, is a ground-breaking new report published by the Foundation for Public Affairs. Guanxi, the Chinese term for the network of personal relationships that allows one individual to prevail upon another for favors, no longer holds the exalted position it did just a few years ago.

The report utilizes case studies and interviews with Chinese experts to provide an up-to-the-minute picture of government relations in China. It offers practical advice on

• securing meetings with government officials
• overcoming intellectual property disputes
• finding "win-wins" for both sides in a negotiation.

This study also examines a wide range of topical issues, including the tainting of Brand China and whether the recent Sichuan earthquake spells a true transformation in the Chinese government's stance towards transparency. The report also looks at the Chinese government's growing interest in corporate social responsibility and provides examples of how leading companies have succeeded in this arena.
