Beskrivning

The Chinese government is one of the most important actors in international affairs today. To thoroughly understand how the People’s Republic of China has grown in power requires a careful analysis of its political system. To what extent can China’s economic achievements be attributed to the country’s political system and its policies? What are the effects of economic modernization and global economic integration on the Chinese polity? Is the Chinese political system capable of adapting to changing economic, technological, social, and international conditions? Exploring these central questions, this definitive book provides readers with a comprehensive assessment of the preconditions, prospects, and risks associated with China’s political development.

Recensioner i media

This is arguably the most comprehensive overview of the contemporary Chinese political system available in English. Its emphasis on policy analysis sets it apart from traditional textbooks, speaking to the growing interest among China political scientists in policy formation and policy relevant research. The book’s clear and accessible style and extensive use of charts and tables promises a receptive readership and wide adoption for classroom use. I strongly recommend this book as a textbook. In addition, it will also be of great value to government officials and businesspeople seeking a general introduction to the political institutions and operations of the PRC.
