Xi Jinping Era: Transforming China's and Global Governance offers a comprehensive and empirically grounded analysis of Xi Jinping's leadership, ideas, and governing philosophy. Drawing extensively on Chinese-language primary sources, including official documents, interviews, and multi-volume works tracing Xi's governance experiences in Liangjiahe, Zhengding, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and at the helm of the Party and the state, the book situates his political thought within China's long civilizational continuity and socialist trajectory. It traces the evolution of Xi's outlook from his formative grassroots years to the pinnacle of power, showing how he has sought to redefine China's path, theory, system, and culture. Particular attention is given to people-centred governance, anti-corruption, ecological civilization, PLA modernisation, and technological innovation as pillars of national rejuvenation, or the Chinese Dream. The book further examines Xi's vision for global governance through the "four initiatives" as well as the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese-style modernization, and the concept of a shared future for humanity. Moving beyond personality-driven narratives, it offers critical insights into contemporary Chinese politics, strategy, economy, and China's evolving global role.
