A thorough introduction to politics and governance in post-Mao China, detailing the 20th Party Congress and 13th National People's Congress as well as current debates.
The success or failure of China's development will impact not only its own citizens but also those of the world. The tensions between communist and capitalist identities continue to divide society as China searches for a path to modernization. Can China move to a more market-based economy, while controlling environmental degradation?
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. The new edition offers increased coverage of Chinese ideology, situating recent social movements like MeToo and contemporary political challenges like environmental crises and increased migration within a longer history. Integrating end of chapter reading suggestions and updated case studies, Governance and Politics of China is essential reading for students of Chinese governance and wider comparative politics.
Essential introduction to China’s complex political and economic systems, this is an insightful and assessable text and excellent choice for any introduction to Chinese politics * Niall Duggan, Senior Lecturer, Department of Government and Politics, University College Cork, Ireland *
This book is an outstanding and comprehensive introduction to the complex landscape of the Chinese Party State. Useful for students of China and comparative politics alike, it provides a solid basis for further exploration. * Rogier Creemers, University Lecturer, Leiden University, the Netherlands *
This is a fully up to date, comprehensive and essential introduction to China. It conveys the complexities and multiple realities of China in an admirably clear, concise manner and, for all the importance of Xi Jinping’s rule and China’s political centre, demonstrates the often overlooked but pivotal role of local politics. * Daniel Large, Associate Professor in the Department of Public Policy, Central European University, Austria *
