The success or failure of China's development will impact not only
its own citizens but also those of the world. China is widely
recognized as a global actor on the world stage and no global
challenge can be resolved without its participation. Thus, it is
important to understand how the country is ruled and what the
policy priorities are of the new leadership. Can China move to a
more market-based economy, while controlling environmental
degradation? Can it integrate hundreds of millions of new migrants
into the urban landscape? The tensions between communist and
capitalist identities continue to divide society as China searches
for a path to modernization. The People's Republic is now over 65
years old - an appropriate juncture at which to reassess the state
of contemporary Chinese politics. In this substantially revised
fourth edition and essential guide to the subject, Tony Saich
delivers a thorough introduction to all aspects of politics and
governance in post-Mao China, taking full account of the changes of
the 18th Party Congress and the 12th National People's Congress.
Further, the rise of Xi Jinping to power and his policies are
examined as are important policy areas such as urbanization and the
fight against corruption.
