“This is an insightful and thought-provoking book, which is a useable source for students and researchers to understand China’s rise to power. The book is essential readings for scholars and students who are interested in exploring China’s governance perspective.” (Kin Wing Chan, International Planning Studies, Vol. 19 (3-4), September, 2014)


“The book's greatest strength is therefore its ability to describe the various dimensions of the current paradox of China's state governance... . China's rise to power successfully depicts the relationship between Chinese state and society in a crucial moment of transformation, which in my opinion is the book's raison d'être.”  (Aurelio Insisa, Journal of Oriental Studies, Vol. 46 (1), 2013)
