In this timely book, a group of leading scholars provides a
comprehensive assessment of China's polity, economy, and society.
Taking the thirtieth anniversary of Beijing's adoption of reform
and opening as an occasion to reflect on the course of development
over the past three decades, the contributors consider where the
country may be going in the future. Just as China has had enormous
success in developing its economy, it continues to face equally
enormous challenges across a wide variety of issues, including
inequality, social protest, energy, the environment, and a
resurgence of religion. As a polity, China has tried to build a
modern legal system while balancing center-local relations,
sustaining a viable ideological framework, and maintaining stable
politics at the elite level. At the same time, the current global
economic crisis poses a major obstacle to China's model of
development. Authoritative, accessible, and current, this book will
be an invaluable resource for all readers interested in the fate of
a rising global power. Contributions by: Edward A. Cunningham,
Joseph Fewsmith, Sebastian Heilmann, Jamie Horsley, Joanna Lewis,
Yawei Liu, Barry Naughton, Elizabeth J. Perry, Ren Jiantao, Carl
Riskin, Sun Yanfei, Robert Weller, Min Ye, and Yongnian Zheng.
