Beskrivning

Assesses the broad impact of China's influential leaderThe Xi Jinping Effect explores the relationship between the People's Republic of China's current "paramount leader"—arguably the most powerful figure since Mao Zedong (1893–1976)—and multiple areas of political and social transformation. It illuminates not just policy arenas in which his leadership of China has had an outsized impact but also areas where his initiatives have faltered due to unintended consequences, international pushback, or the divergence of local priorities from those of the central government. Collectively, the book's chapters document the ways in which Xi's neo-totalitarianism has dismantled Reform Era legacies, while reconfiguring governance and rewiring China's global connections. Contributions by anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists consider such issues as Xi's anticorruption campaign and obsession with ideological governance, state surveillance, the status of ethnic minorities and migrants, income inequality, and China's relations with Taiwan and Southeast Asia.Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295752822

Recensioner i media

"[P]rovides a comprehensive and diverse study of the effect Xi Jinping has had on – to borrow the title of his own five-volume work – 'The Governance of China'. Despite the extensive literature on politics, society, international relations and the economy under Xi Jinping's governments, few publications have managed to integrate these elements and address them from different perspectives. The Xi Jinping Effect therefore offers a great opportunity for both general readers and researchers who wish to gain an initial understanding of the Chinese leader with recent data from quality sources."
