The book China at the Beginning of the Twenty–First Century presents a comprehensive exploration of contemporary China, reflecting the insights shared during a student conference organized by the Institute of Middle and Far East Studies at Jagiellonian University. This gathering, held in April 2010, sparked a collaborative effort to compile research that addresses the pressing issues facing modern Chinese society and its international relations. The enthusiasm of the participants is palpable, as they delve into the complexities of China's evolving landscape.

Within the pages of China at the Beginning of the Twenty–First Century, readers will encounter a variety of articles that tackle significant topics, from domestic challenges to international conflicts. Each contribution is the result of meticulous research by young scholars who are eager to present their findings. The authors not only share their conclusions but also invite constructive criticism, fostering a dialogue that encourages deeper understanding of the themes discussed.

This publication serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in the dynamics of contemporary China. By examining the various challenges the country faces, the book provides valuable context for understanding its role on the global stage. The commitment of the authors to engage with their audience and provoke thought makes China at the Beginning of the Twenty–First Century a noteworthy addition to the field of Chinese studies.

In the 1980s and 1990s, China went through an intensive process of liberalization of social and cultural life, as well as economic reforms. As a result, China strengthened its position of the leading player of the globalized world, being quickly westernized at the same time. On the other hand, China is also one of the oldest civilizational centres, with a different and rich musical, theatrical, literary, philosophical, historical, and scientific tradition. That is why it is natural that various aspects concerning the present and the history of China arouse the interest of scientists that represent various areas of science. (…) The collective work China at the Beginning of the 21st Century edited by Lukasz Gacek, PhD, and Ewa Trojnar, PhD, is a sign of this natural curiosity. (…) All texts run in this book are on a proper factual and scientific level. The entirety describes and explains the reader the chosen, interesting areas of the Chinese reality at the beginning of the 21st century concerning cultural studies, international relations, as well as military and energy safety. -- Professor Dr. hab. Hubert Królikowski, Jagiellonian University
