Description
The success or failure of China's development will impact not only its own citizens but also those of the world. China is widely recognised as a global actor on the world stage and no global challenge can be resolved without its participation. It is important to understand how the country is ruled and what its policy priorities are. 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 modernisation.
In this revised fifth 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 20th Party Congress and the 13th National People's Congress, as well as the situation in Hong Kong and current debates in Chinese society.
Governance and Politics of China provides a comprehensive understanding of these complex issues, serving as a vital resource for grasping the intricacies of China's evolving political landscape.
