China has created its own distinctive pathway to becoming one of
the world's largest economies - and the country's economic and
political development over the next decade will have profound
implications for the rest of the world. Knowledge of contemporary
China is therefore essential for anyone who seeks to understand
politics, business and international affairs in the twenty-first
century. Assuming no prior knowledge, this book presents an
accessible and engaging introduction to all aspects of China.
Following a scene-setting chapter on the making of modern-day
China, the book moves on to examine the country's political and
economic structures, its society and culture, and its changing
place in the world. Looking to the future, the book also considers
the demographic and political challenges which China now faces.
Kerry Brown shows that there is a vibrant debate within the country
about what China is, in what direction it might go and what sort of
power it should become. The text is illustrated throughout with
figures and tables, boxes focusing on key issues and an extensive
guide to further reading and useful websites. This accessible and
lively book is the ideal starting point for students and general
readers who want to know more about this important country.
