"Five-Year Plans" have been a cornerstone of Chinese social and
economic development initiatives since 1953. During the thirteenth
of these periods between 2016 and 2020, the global economy has
experienced instability after the financial crisis, as well as
political and economic reconfiguration. Drawing on modern economic
theory, this book comprehensively discusses China's economic
development in this crucial phase. The book analyzes the
international economic environment, and asks how China's continued
reform and opening-up can fit with the new era of economic
globalization. It also presents the difficulties China faces in
such fields as urbanization, the coordination of regional
development and urban-rural integration, economic reform, and the
reform of factor markets and state-owned enterprises. The book
outlines many medium-term development rules along with key
characteristics of China's economy, helping international readers
fully understand likely future trajectories for the Chinese
economy.

This book explores the dynamics of party politics in Taiwan and
cross-Strait relations over the past decade. While power transfer
from the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) back
to the pro-status quo Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT)
in 2008 ushered a great leap of cross-Strait relations in the
following years, the DPP's coming back to power in 2016 has
reversed the trend and brought back a cold peace between the two
sides of the Taiwan Strait featuring the period of the Chen
Shui-bian administration. Social cleavage and partisan
confrontation on the island have justified Beijing's strategy of
selective engagement with the two main parties within Taiwan. The
state of cross-Strait relations, therefore, has become a by-product
of volatile party politics on the island. As speculation about
Taiwan's future mounts, this book will interest scholars,
China-watchers, and policymakers.
Because power in China is so concentrated at the top, changes in
leadership usually mean changes in many other domains as well. In
this study, based on documents released around the time Jiang Zemin
left office in November 2002 and interviews with Chinese officials,
the authors concentrate on more fundamental institutional changes,
both those under way well before Jiang stepped down and those still
urgently needed if China is to remain stable and prosperous in the
21st century. Topics addressed include the role of ideology, the
issue of legitimacy, rule-making and -breaking, Party governance,
the use of state power for economic ends, state-society relations,
and decision making in foreign policy.
The authors ask how changing concepts of property rights have
influenced China's development, and whether present and future
leaders will be able to maintain the Party's monopoly on political
power by partially democratizing the party itself. They conclude
that strengthened institutions are critical to China's future
well-being.
Contributors include Gang Lin, Xiaobo Hu, David Bachman, Lowell
Dittmer, and Richard Madsen.
