If the history of modern China was written as a book, its author
would be accused of losing touch with reality. During the twentieth
century, China underwent two revolutions, a number of wars, endured
a radical and destabilising form of communism and then hurried
quickly towards a system of open market economics whilst remaining
under the control of a nominally communist party. Currently the
fastest growing economy in the world with an increasingly
sophisticated and expanding military, China is widely expected to
emerge as the world's next superpower, eclipsing the United States
in the not too distant future.However, not everything is going
smoothly for Beijing. Unemployment rates are spiralling, inequality
is rife and official corruption at all levels remains an Achilles
heel for the Chinese Communist Party, despite Xi Jinping's best
endeavours to wipe it out. Worst of all, environmental degradation
is at such a serious level that it threatens the success of the
Chinese economy and the stability of Chinese society.Against this
scarcely believable backdrop and based on a series of lectures,
seminars and research conducted by the author, Mao's China and
Post-Mao China captures the dynamics, dynamism and disasters of
Chinese politics since the establishment of the People's Republic
of China in 1949. This advanced textbook identifies three key
themes that have underpinned the post-revolutionary era, the
so-called 'three Rs' - Revolution, Recovery and Rejuvenation - and
is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of
modern China at the undergraduate and postgraduate level
