The Beijing Consensus1. Innovation
– In order to outpace the “friction losses of reform,” government must actively innovate in order to address the challenges introduced by the changing economic and social environment (Ramo, 2004: 12).
2. Dynamic Goals– Instead, the BJC suggests an
increased focus on measures such as quality-of-life and individual equity, areas that China has strongly focused its attention
3. Self-Determination– Countries can plan their own
development without having to accept the unfavorable terms of the Washington Consensus”
