Economic growth in China has transformed both politics and society.
Old orthodoxies are painfully being eroded in the drive for reform
while new social and cultural tensions are coming to light. It has
been argued that the cycles of reform and retreat since 1978 which
culminated in the Tiananmen Square tragedy were induced by the
tensions of the reform process. It is clear that the way in which
China handles these issues in the future will have major
implications for the next phase of the country's development. The
authors of this book analyze how reform has affected major groups
in society such as urban workers, rural and urban cadres, the army,
intellectuals and private entrepreneurs. They examine the
interaction between old attitudes and new needs in such areas as
education, policing and social control, rural administration and
the status of women. What emerges is a broad insight into China's
reform process which looks both at the enormous changes that have
come about and at the problems to follow. This book should be of
interest to postgraduates and researchers in Chinese and East Asian
studies, politics and economics.
