The success or failure of China's development will impact not only its own citizens but also those of the world. China is widely recognized as a global actor on the world stage and no global challenge can be resolved without its participation. Thus, it is important to understand how the country is ruled and what the policy priorities are of the new leadership. Can China move to a more market-based economy, while controlling environmental degradation? Can it integrate hundreds of millions of new migrants into the urban landscape? The tensions between communist and capitalist identities continue to divide society as China searches for a path to modernization. The People's Republic is now over 65 years old - an appropriate juncture at which to reassess the state of contemporary Chinese politics. In this substantially revised fourth edition and essential guide to the subject, Tony Saich delivers a thorough introduction to all aspects of politics and governance in post-Mao China, taking full account of the changes of the 18th Party Congress and the 12th National People's Congress. Further, the rise of Xi Jinping to power and his policies are examined as are important policy areas such as urbanization and the fight against corruption.

Seller's Description:
Book Royal octavo, softcover, VG in green pictorial wraps. "Delving deep beneath the institutional facade of China's formal political structures and processes, Tony Saich describes how China is actually governed on the ground. Combining a scholarly analysis with personal insights he has produced a lively, readable study of China's profound-and profoundly painful-transition from Mao to Market. Its title alone suggests that this is a textbook of a different strip." {Ricrard Baum}. 349 pages.
