Provides a comprehensive overview of Chinese politics past and
present, putting current events into historical context for
students unfamiliar with the region or the history. Successfully
incorporates history and contemporary politics but is still
manageable for both undergraduate and graduate level courses. The
wide coverage of issues and the depth of knowledge of China are
essential. Emphasis on culture, traditions and policies compared to
an institutional analysis– in particular the chapters on the
legal system, the role of the military, education, quality-of-life
issues, and arts and media stands out against its competitors.
These topics are rarely mentioned in other textbooks. Lends a
practitioner’s perspective to the scholarly literature, showing
how Chinese politics and policy play out on the world stage. Offers
a variety of visual and pedagogical aids including tables, figures,
maps, learning objectives, discussion questions and more—giving
students and professors a comprehensive text package with which to
structure a key course in comparative politics and Asian Studies.
The presentation provides a catching introduction on the main
topics that will be successively dealt with. The student will be
quickly absorbed in the reading, regardless of his/her thorough
knowledge of the topic. The content is friendly to both who work on
China as well as those who want to know China without previous
knowledge. It is international as it presents a fairly objective
picture covering both western and Chinese literature on the topics.
