China's rapid and complex political and socioeconomic changes
provide fertile ground for pioneering analysis, but they also
present daunting theoretical and practical challenges. This reader
takes up the challenge, offering the most comprehensive assessment
of Chinese domestic politics available by bringing together the
best recent scholarship in the field. The anthology focuses on the
origin, content, and significance of the post-1989 phase of China's
reform and opening to the world, commonly known in the PRC as "deep
reform." This period has been unfolding in interaction with
globalization, marketization, privatization, political
institutionalization, as well as with financial and legal changes.
Deep reform includes new policy initiatives that have penetrated
political, legal, economic, and social sectors untouched by
previous initiatives as reformers have been forced to deal with the
consequences-intended and unintended-of earlier reforms. These
carefully selected essays by leading scholars have been revised and
updated for this text. In addition, a substantive introduction and
conclusion place the articles in their broader context for readers
new to the subject. With the successful transition of the
leadership of the party, state, and military since 2002, the time
is ripe for a comprehensive evaluation of China's deep reform as it
enters a new stage. This timely reader will offer students,
scholars, and policymakers invaluable insights into the dynamics of
change in one of the world's emerging political and economic
dynamos. Contributions by: Marc Blecher, Bruce J. Dickson, Lowell
