Over the past two decades, China s political reforms, open-door
policy, dramatic economic growth, and increasingly assertive
foreign policy have had an unprecedented regional and global
impact. This introductory textbook provides students with a
fundamental understanding of government and politics in China as
well as the conceptual ability to explore the general patterns,
impacts, and nature of continuities and changes in Chinese
politics. Further, it equips students with analytical frameworks by
which they can understand, analyse and evaluate the major issues in
Chinese politics, including:
- The basic methodologies and theoretical controversies in the
study of Chinese politics.
- The major dimensions, structures, processes, functions and
characteristics of the Chinese political system, such as ideology,
politics, law, society, economy, and foreign policy.
- The impact of power, ideology, and organization on different
spheres of Chinese society.
- The structure, process, and factors in Chinese foreign policy
making.
- Whether China is a "strategic partner" or "potential threat" to
the United States.
By examining contending theoretical models in the study of
Chinese politics, this book combines an essentialist approach that
keeps focus on the fundamental, unique and defining features of
Chinese politics and government with other theoretical approaches
or analytical models which reveal and explore the complexities
inherent in the Chinese political system.
Extensively illustrated, the textbook includes maps, photographs
and diagrams, as well as providing questions for class discussions
and suggestions for further reading. Written by an experienced
academic with working knowledge of the Chinese Government, this
textbook will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of Chinese Politics.
